BACKGROUND INFORMATION:  GRINDEY (PL260137) is located on Lot 1 of the University 
Heights Subdivision and is zoned R1-6, Single-Family Residential. The current home consists of three 
bedrooms with required parking located in the driveway. The owner of the property is seeking to enclose 
the rear attached patio to livable space which will not result in an increase in the number of bedrooms, 
however, the proposed design requires a Use Permit Standard to reduce the required street side yard 
setback by two (2) feet. 
The Zoning and Development Code allows a reduction of the street side yard setback by up to 20% 
subject to Use Permit Standard approval. The request includes the following:
