ITEM:
Discussion on any and all matters regarding a possible text amendment to the City of San Luis Zoning ordinance allowing open carports in the front setback. (John Starkey, Zoning Administrator)
SUMMARY:
Discussion on possible text amendment to allow open carports in the required front setback. Any reduction of setbacks increases the potential fire spread between structures. However, the front setback faces the street and is not a potential hazard for fire spread to adjacent properties.
Allowing open carports will let residents provide shade for their vehicles without putting in danger the safety of their neighbors. This proposed amendment would change the front setback to 0 feet with restrictions on type of construction, construction material, and allowing shade structures only in driveways with the 7 feet side setback required.
