Meeting Date:06/27/2023   Requested by: Bayer Vella, Community and Economic Development  Submitted By:Alexandra Chavez, Community and Economic Development Case Number: 2301022 SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE TO CONSTRUCT A DETACHED STRUCTURE IN THE FRONT YARD OF A PROPERTY, LOCATED AT 12453 N. PLACITA EL COBO (2301022) RECOMMENDATION: Although the proposal would not have a detrimental impact on adjacent property owners, it fails to meet all required state and Town Code findings. Staff recommends denial of the request. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting a zoning variance from Town of Oro Valley Zoning Code Section 23.6.A.2.b to construct a detached accessory structure in the front yard of their property. The variance from Section 23.6.A .2.b  will allow a detached accessory building closer to the front line than the main building. Chapter 31 of the zoning code defines a "building" as a structure for the shelter of persons etc.  Furthermore, the front "yard" is defined as the open space of the property between the street line and the front line of the main building.  The applicant is requesting the variance to construct a detached shade structure over a sunken barbecue area and a swim-up bar located between the house and the front lot line. The shade structure measurements are 15 feet by 12 feet with a finished height of 12 feet. Due to the average grade of the property and the sunken barbecue area the shade structure will sit at 6 feet tall.  The subject property is Lot 5 in the La Canada Ridge subdivision and is located within an R1-36 zoning district which does not allow detached accessory structures in the front yard. Figure 1 provides a site map of the subject area.         Figure 1. Site map of variance case.  The applicant’s home is located approximately 80 feet from the front property line with the main entrance oriented towards the rear property line, as shown in Figure 2. The home is positioned in the same manner as all other homes on the west side of Placita El Cobo. Typically, the front entry of the home is oriented towards the street. Each home has been "flipped" in orientation to maximize the views of the Catalina Mountains.       Figure 2. Site property map with building entrances.  Due to the placement of the home, the front of the property, as defined in the zoning code, functions as the home's backyard. The proposed location of the detached structure is closer to the front line than the main building. The applicant’s request to construct the detached shade structure is subject to zoning code Section 23.6.A.2.b which states, "accessory buildings shall not exceed the height of the main building nor be any closer to the front lot line than the main building." Staff finds the most suitable area for the shade structure is in the front yard (illustrated in Figure 2 with an orange box), as there is no functional need for such a shade structure behind or beside the main home entrance where detached accessory structures are permitted. Alternatively, construction of a rear porch is a functional option permitted by the zoning code. However, the need for the zoning variance stems from the property owner’s request to construct a detached structure rather than an attached one (porch) in the front yard.   Staff recommends denial of the variance request determining that all five findings have not been met as described in the following background and detailed information. BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION: Property is located in the La Canada Ridge subdivision Lot size is 36,392 square feet Property was purchased by the applicant in 2019 and the home was constructed in 2021. The home is oriented with main entrance facing the rear property line. DISCUSSION: State Law and the Oro Valley Zoning Code require the Board of Adjustment to determine that all required findings have been met in order to grant a variance. The required five findings are shown in italics below, followed by the applicant and staff comments. The applicant's complete response and exhibits are included as Attachments 1 through 6. 1. That there are special circumstances or conditions applying to the property referred to in the application including its size, shape, topography, location or surroundings which do not apply to other properties in the district. Applicant Comment: The orientation of the subject property and other properties along the west side of Placita El Cobo have been "flipped" with the front of the main building facing the rear property line. This orientation maximizes the views of the Catalina mountains. The applicant states they were unaware of the limitations to construct structures in the front yard due to the building’s orientation. Staff Comment: Staff finds there are special circumstances to the property which are atypical of other properties in Oro Valley. The main building of the subject property is located approximately 80 feet from the front property line, with the front door oriented towards the rear property line. The subject property's" flipped" orientation is inconsistent with other properties in Oro Valley. Although there are properties in town with a "flipped" orientation, it is unique to have an entire block with such orientation as found along Placita El Cobo. This is unusual and deemed a special circumstance. This finding has been met. 2. That special circumstances were not created by the owner or applicant. Applicant Comment: The applicant states the home's orientation is not traditional; however, it is consistent with the surrounding homes located on the west side of Placita El Cobo, shown in Figure 2. The subject property was one of the last homes built in the development, and the homeowner followed the established orientation of the neighboring properties.        Figure 2. Site property map with building entrances.  Staff Comment: Staff finds there are special circumstances; however, the applicant is the original property owner and is responsible for constructing the home. It appears the applicant created the special circumstances deriving from the home's orientation as they were responsible for placing the home towards the rear of the lot. Additionally, the applicant is responsible for the location and construction of the sunken barbecue area and swim-up bar. This finding has not been met. 3. Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights. Applicant Comment: The applicant states an outdoor shade structure is needed to enjoy the outdoor area during Arizona's summer months comfortably. The subject property’s “flipped” orientation was done in conformance with the established layout of the existing homes on the west side of Placita El Cobo. Additionally, the applicant states that the homes on the east side of the street do not have such constraints for accessory structures. Staff Comment: A detached accessory structure in the front yard is not a property right enjoyed by all single-family homeowners. Homes along the east side of Placita El Cobo are subject to the same front yard requirements as the applicant. Moreover, front-yard accessory structures are only permitted in zoning districts R1-144 and R1-300.   Staff finds the provision of a detached shade structure is not a substantial property right. A similar result can be achieved by attaching a back porch to the main building. The applicant submitted Exhibit 1 (Attachment #3), which outlines alternative construction plans for an attached structure (porch) that would serve their needs to provide shade while meeting zoning code requirements for Section 23.6.A.2.b. This finding has not been met. 4. That any variance granted imposes such conditions as will assure that the authorizing of the adjustment shall not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which such property is located. Applicant Comment: Permanent shade structures are common backyard features and amenities for many homes in Oro Valley. The applicant’s ability to construct a similar amenity on the property has been constrained due to the home’s orientation and the Town’s zoning code standards. Additionally, the applicant states that their proposed detached shade structure would be less obtrusive to neighbors than structures typically found on other properties in Town. Staff Comment: Oro Valley Zoning Code Section 23.6.A .2 does not allow accessory structures in the front yard unless permitted explicitly within the applicable zoning district. The subject property is zoned R1-36 and does not permit accessory buildings in the front yard. Section 23.6.A.2.b states that detached accessory buildings shall not be closer to the front line than the main building.  The constraint to construct a detached shade structure rather than a permitted attached porch would constitute a "special privilege" if granted. This finding has not been met. 5. That the authorizing of the variance will not be materially detrimental to persons residing in the vicinity, to adjacent property, to the neighborhood or the public welfare in general. Applicant Comment: The applicant has taken into consideration the visual impact on neighboring properties. The applicant states that the proposed detached structure Exhibit 2 (Attachment #4) will be less obtrusive than the attached code-compliant option provided in Exhibit 1 (Attachment #3). The proposed detached structure will have a height of 6 feet, due to average yard grade and the sunken barbeque area and will sit slightly higher than the 5-foot wall surrounding the property. The attached structure would have an approximate height of 12 to 15 feet. The applicant also states that the attached structure will create a disjointed design with regard to the existing porch and pillars, as shown in  Exhibit 3  (Attachment #5). A letter of support, Exhibit 4 (Attachment #6) was submitted by the applicant’s front neighbor, Daniel Martinez. Mr. Martinez is in support of the variance request to construct the detached structure. Staff Comment: Staff finds that neither option submitted by the applicant has a detrimental impact on adjacent properties or the general public’s views. Although the detached structure (Exhibit 2 ) offers a lower profile and less visibility, a potentially attached structure (Exhibit 1) would not be detrimental to neighbors’ views. This finding has been met. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION: Public Notice has been provided as follows:  Notice sent to all property owners within 300 feet of the subject properties. Notice posted on the property. Notice posted online at www.orovalleyaz.gov Notice advertised in the Daily Territorial. FISCAL IMPACT: N/A SUGGESTED MOTION: I MOVE to approve this variance request to construct a detached structure in the front yard of 12453 N. Placita El Cobo, based on the finding that the five criteria have been met. OR I MOVE to deny this variance request to construct a detached structure in the front yard of 12453 N. Placita El  Cobo, based on the finding that not all five criteria have been met. Attachments Attachment 1: Applicant Narrative  Attachment 2: Subject Property Site Map  Attachment 3: Alternative Structure Design  Attachment 4: Proposed Detached Structure Design  Attachment 5: Subject Property Street View  Attachment 6: Letter of Support  To Whom It May Concern, We are proposing to build an unattached ramada in our backyard, which is between the main house and the front lot line. Current code says that we are unable to build an unattached structure that is not connected to the roofline of our home because, like nearly every other home on the east sides of the two streets in our community, our home is “flipped” on our lot: the front door faces the rear property line and the backyard faces the front property line. The attached diagrams show that the ramada is modern, clean-lined, and barely visible over our block wall. Five Findings: 1.That there are special circumstances or conditions applying to the property strictly related to its size, shape, topography, location or surroundings which do not apply to other properties in the district. Existing building configuration shall be included only when constrained by the special circumstances or conditions of the property; and 1.Our property is located in a community which consists of two streets which primarily run north-south: our location in the community is a special condition. All homes sit on approximately one acre and are semi-custom, recently built, and upscale. Homes built on the east sides of the roads are all positioned with east facing backyards and have traditional orientation to lot lines. The homes on the west sides of the roads are all “flipped” on the lots so that the front doors face the rear lot lines and the backyards face the front lot lines. This not only allows for excellent views of the Catalina mountains from large windows on the backyard sides of all of the homes, which increases resale value and makes location of all homes on both sides of the street comparable, but it was also to make our home more energy efficient as there are only a few small windows on the south side of the building. We were unaware that the designer’s consideration of these items would result in restriction of constructing a permanent shade structure in our backyard, as we see permanent shade structures from the roads at many Oro Valley homes. 2.That the special circumstances or conditions as defined in subsection C.1 of this section were not created by a previous or current owner; and 1.The location of the lot on the west side of the road dictated that the best orientation for energy efficiency and resale value was not a traditional orientation but a “flipped” one. The code restricting the construction of shade was not known, and the orientation of the home was not intended to cause a problem when applying for a permit to construct a ramada. Worthy of note, however, is that even if we had been aware of the code and had decided to orient our house to match with the lot lines, it would have made the neighborhood as a whole look quite bizarre since we were one of the last lots built upon and most everyone had already chosen the “flipped” orientation on our west side of the street. 3.That the authorizing of the variance is necessary for the preservation of privileges and rights enjoyed by other properties of the same classification in the same zoning district; and 1.Our neighbors whose homes are on the east sides of the roads will not have this constraint. We selected this neighborhood for our forever home because of the beautiful mountain views and the large backyard where we could create an amazing space for our family to spend time together comfortably, year-round. We built a large pool with a swim-up bar that is attached to a sunken barbecue area where we hope to give our children and aging parents a spot to relax and cool off in the shade and with a ceiling fan on hot summer days and evenings. The construction of a ramada over the sunken barbecue area will not only add monetary value to our property but will allow for us the right to enjoy the oasis we are creating to escape the incredibly hot environment we all live in, like other neighbors in the Oro Valley community. 4.That any variance granted is subject to such conditions as will assure that the authorizing of the adjustment shall not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which such property is located; and 1.A short drive around Oro Valley demonstrates that it is common practice to construct permanent shade structures in backyards. Other properties which back to main roads in Oro Valley have similar, taller structures in their backyards which were able to be built simply because of the home’s orientation to the road on which they reside, regardless of the structure’s visibility from other roads or properties. Again, our structure will be even less obtrusive than most and will barely show above the block wall in our yard. 5.That the authorizing of the variance will not be materially detrimental to persons residing in the vicinity, to adjacent property, to the neighborhood or the public welfare in general. 1.Out of respect for our neighbors, we kept the plan for the top of the ramada as short as possible while still meeting code for head clearance. The top will be barely visible above our back wall, as the wall was built to just above 5 feet high and the top of the pergola will stand at about 6 feet, while our property sits slightly higher than the road. We are also set back much further than the minimum required 30 feet from the front of our lot. We understand that current code was created approximately 40 years ago and assume that it was to prevent unattractive structures from cluttering front yards and making neighborhoods look disjointed. We have attached an example of what the ramada would need to become in order to comply with the current code, and it is large and unsightly, not to mention costly. We would be required to add another ramada structure that is as high as our house, approximately 12-15 feet tall, so that it would line up with the roof line (and because we have a flat roof and parapets—where would it actually line up and not look bizarre?), which would then step down to the currently planned ramada top by placing new support legs in places which would look random and disjointed from the street compared to our current stone pillars and porches. Our neighbors to the north would surely find that some of their mountain views are obstructed by such a large structure since they are sitting further west than our home, and our views would also be heavily obscured, which we fear would subtract value from our home if we were ever in the position where we need to sell. Additionally, if we choose to use a non- permanent structure, it feels that it could actually be more risky to our neighbors than having a permanently fixed structure in the event that a high wind or microburst carries the temporary shade over our wall and into a neighbor’s home or yard. Authorizing the variance will not be materially detrimental to persons residing in the vicinity— in fact, it will spare them the potential detriment to their mountain views and to their property values. This ramada has been designed with consideration to our neighbors from the start. Our HOA has already approved this structure based on submitted plans and dimensions, so the only thing we need to provide cooler, shaded enjoyment of our backyard features in the summer is for this variance to be granted. 5/15/23, 2:10 PM 12453 N Placita El Cobo - Google Maps https://www.google.com/maps/place/12453+N+Placita+El+Cobo,+Oro+Valley,+AZ+85755/@32.4288201,-110.9959458,16z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x86d6…1/2 Map data ©2023 500 ft 12453 N Placita El Cobo Building Directions Save Nearby Send to phone Share 12453 N Placita El Cobo 5/15/23, 2:10 PM 12453 N Placita El Cobo - Google Maps https://www.google.com/maps/place/12453+N+Placita+El+Cobo,+Oro+Valley,+AZ+85755/@32.4288201,-110.9959458,16z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x86d6…2/2 Photos 12453 N Placita El Cobo, Oro Valley, AZ 85755 POOLS BY DESIGN INC.3031 W INA ROADTUCSON, AZ 85741OFF:(520) 797-6675FAX:(520) 219-1614KERRI & GEORGE SEELEY12453 N PLACITA EL COBOORO VALLEY AZ 85755(520) 977-9775N SCALE: 1/8" = 1'-0"ROC# 259661 - B-5DESIGNER:DWG BY: ERIK KDATE: 5/1/23CA6' 12' 15' REFER TO ENGINEERING & SCHEMATICS ON SEPARATE PAGE 12' 6' 6'6LF 2x8 ALUMINUM BEAM 16LF 2x8 ALUMINIUM BEAM 14' 6' 12' 5/3/23, 5:36 PM image002.png https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ogbl#search/blair/WhctKKXXGtLMlFtvBFbsQBZzZGpMXNhTRPBQlbtgdfrVsksdPJGgwvFtXVzDGsmQmdRSQwB?p…1/1 5/3/23, 5:36 PM image003.png https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ogbl#search/blair/WhctKKXXGtLMlFtvBFbsQBZzZGpMXNhTRPBQlbtgdfrVsksdPJGgwvFtXVzDGsmQmdRSQwB?p…1/1 5/3/23, 5:36 PM image004.png https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ogbl#search/blair/WhctKKXXGtLMlFtvBFbsQBZzZGpMXNhTRPBQlbtgdfrVsksdPJGgwvFtXVzDGsmQmdRSQwB?p…1/1 5/3/23, 5:36 PM image005.png https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ogbl#search/blair/WhctKKXXGtLMlFtvBFbsQBZzZGpMXNhTRPBQlbtgdfrVsksdPJGgwvFtXVzDGsmQmdRSQwB?p…1/1 1 Chavez, Alexandra From:Dan <danrucrzy@gmail.com> Sent:Wednesday, June 14, 2023 11:46 AM To:Chavez, Alexandra Subject:Zoning Variance - 2301022 2nd format Wednesday, June 14, 2023 Re: 12453 N Placita El Cobo-Zoning Variance- 2301022 To Whom it may concern: I am in support of the zoning variance request to allow a detached structure in the front yard, located at 12453 N Placita El Cobo. George Seely has explained in detail to me and various neighbors the purpose and design of the proposed structure, which is behind a perimeter wall facing the street. Upon completion, I do not believe the structure will be detrimental to the visual esthetic of the neighborhood. The style and design of the structure are congruent with the facade of the residence. I reside at 12452 N Placita El Cobo directly across the street and therefore would be most visually impacted by the proposed structure if the variance were to be approved. Again, I have no objection.
