Title
To receive public comment and consider a Variance on a single-family home, zoned Single Family Suburban District (SF-S). The Variance requests include reductions in the minimum interior side setbacks as stated in Subchapter 4.2.4 A General Regulations Table and 4.2.4 D Setback Encroachments, of the Unified Development Code; to be known as the 801 W.
