Zoning Board of Adjustment · 2026-07-27 · agenda_packet

The Zoning Board of Adjustment considered two variance requests for the property at 1300 South Harbor City Boulevard. The first variance sought relief from the requirement of minimum frontage on an improved public or private street, as the property is landlocked due to the 1978 vacation of Syracuse Avenue and subsequent lot creation in 1981. The second variance requested permission for nine parking spaces for a 4,913+ square foot office/professional building, where 15 spaces are required by code. The Community Development Department recommended denial for both variances, citing that the hardship was self-created and that granting the variances would not be in harmony with the zoning ordinance. The applicant argued that the lack of frontage was due to city actions and that they had secured a legal access easement, and that the existing nine parking spaces were sufficient for the existing building. The document also references a previous meeting on May 18, 2026, where a variance request (VAR2026-0002) for a property at Glenn Adams, Bryan Street, was denied.
