Narrative 
 
We wish to build an RV garage and casita at our residence at 17318 N. 64th Lane, Glendale, 
AZ 85308. The building will be similar in scope to our neighbors on each side directly to the 
North and East. Their RV garages are approximately 21 to 24 feet in height. Our goal is to 
match our existing home in look and build so that the RV has a gable roof. This request is 
for a Variance to allow a maximum of 20’-10” in zoning district as the maximum height in 
the RR-45 Zoning District as the maximum height provide in the Unified Development Code 
of 16’-0” 
The height of our proposed garage is 20’ 10’’. The COG’s new maximum height of 16 feet 
requires us to apply for a variance to build the RV garage with a gable roof. Since a garage 
door is typically 14 feet high and the header above the garage door is 12 inches minimum, 
that would make the top plate 15 feet. The depth of the roof truss could be anywhere from 
3 
to 4 feet. It is for these reasons we are applying for a variance. 
The placement of the RV garage and casita will be on the southwest of our lot, farthest 
away from our neighbors on 64th Lane. The proposed RV garage is 1664 SF and its 
dimensions are 52’ L x 32’ W x 20’ 10” H. The proposed casita is 1024 SF and its 
dimensions 
are 38’ x 32’ with a covered porch and carport of 762 SF. The lot is 1.25 acres.
