Variance approved to allow 16-foot rear setback instead of required 25 feet for a 13x28 attached patio cover in the R-16 zoning district. Staff had recommended denial noting detached structures could achieve same result without variance. Vote was 3-2 with Member Baugh and Chairperson voting no.

Variance approved to allow 35-foot building height instead of 30-foot maximum for hillside development. Property zoned Rural 43 with western portion in floodway restricting buildable area. Applicant Paul Romanek represented by Morgan Busby. Staff found peculiar condition not created by applicant and variance preserves zoning ordinance intent.

Variance approved for existing accessory structure to maintain zero-foot street side setback along 114th Avenue where 20 feet is required in Rural 43 zoning. Structure has existed since 1970s with unpermitted expansions in 2006 and 2020-2022. Applicants Ricardo and Jessica Lopez purchased property in 2011. Zoning violation opened November 2024.

Variance approved to allow 5-foot front setback and 3-foot rear setback for manufactured home placement where R-5 zoning requires 10-foot front and 25-foot rear setbacks. Lot created in 1961 subdivision is undersized for modern manufactured homes. Applicant David Flores noted owner already possesses the pre-engineered home with attached carport.

Variance approved to permit horse corral in front yard instead of required rear yard at property owned by Melissa Veselovsky in R-135 zoning district. Applicant plans to house two rescue horses. Neighbor to south provided letter of support.

Variance approved to allow 15-foot setback from south lot line instead of required 40 feet for horse corral. Lot is 120 feet wide instead of required 145 feet due to 1989 county-initiated zone change from R-118 to R-135. Proposed corral approximately 65x100 feet (6,500 sq ft). Vote was 3-2 with Member Baugh and Vice Chair Clapp voting no.
