This is a request for a variance from Section 4.01.D of the Zoning Ordinance.
This section states;
"When any nonconforming use or structure is dismantled or damaged by fire, explosion, collapse, act of God, act
of the owner, or act of public enemy to the extent of greater than fifty (50) percent of its reconstruction or
replacement value, as determined by three (3) competent appraisers, then the said structure and the use of the
land shall conform to all regulations for the zoning district in which said structure and land is located."
CODE REQUIREMENTS:
Town Code
Article 2-8 BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
Section 2-8-4 Duties
A. It shall be the duty of the board of adjustment to hear appeals concerning the interpretation or administration of
the zoning code, made by the zoning administrator. The board may reverse, affirm, wholly or partially or modify the
order, requirement or decision of the zoning administrator appealed from, and make such order, requirement,
decision or determination as necessary.
B. It shall be the duty of the board of adjustment to hear and decide appeals for variances from the terms of the
zoning code only, if because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including its size, shape,
topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning code will deprive such property owner of
privileges enjoyed by owners of other property of the same classification in the zoning district. Any variance granted
is subject to such conditions as will assure that the adjustment authorized shall not constitute a grant of special
privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which such property is
located.
C. The board of adjustment may not:
1. Make any changes in the uses permitted in any zoning classification or zoning district, make any changes in
the terms of the zoning code or make changes to the zoning map, provided the restriction in this paragraph shall
not affect the authority to grant variances pursuant to this article.
2. Grant a variance if the special circumstances applicable to the property are self-imposed by the property
owner.
Town Code
Article 2-8 BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
Section 2-8-6 Variances
Every variance shall be personal to the applicant and shall run with the land only after completion of any structure or
structures authorized thereby.
Zoning Ordinance
Chapter 2 PROCEDURES
Section 2.07 Appeals and Variances
B. Variance.
1. Any aggrieved person may appeal to the Board of Adjustment for a variance from the terms of the Zoning
Ordinance if, because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including its size, shape, topography,
location, or surroundings, the strict application of the Zoning Ordinance will deprive such property owner of privileges
enjoyed by owners of other property of the same classification in the same Zoning District. Any variance granted
shall be made subject to such conditions as will assure that the adjustment authority shall not constitute a granting of
special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the zone in which such property is located.
Page 2 of 5
2. The Board shall hear the appeal at the next regularly scheduled meeting after the required advertising
requirements have been fulfilled. Notice of the hearing shall be made by publishing a notice thereof in the official
newspaper of the Town and by posting the property affected not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the hearing. The
notice shall set forth the time and place of the hearing and include a general explanation of the matter to be
considered.
3. A variance shall not be granted by the Board unless the alleged hardship caused by literal interpretation of the
provisions of this ordinance results in more than personal inconvenience and/or personal financial hardship, and is
not the result of actions of the applicant.
4. In granting a variance, the Board shall impose such conditions and safeguards as are appropriate to ensure that
the purpose and intent of this ordinance remain intact.
5. No nonconforming use or violations of this ordinance with respect to neighboring lands, structures, or buildings in
the same Zoning District, and no permitted use of lands, structures or buildings in other zoning districts shall be
considered grounds for granting a variance.
6. Every variance shall be personal to the applicant therefor and shall be transferable and shall run with the land
only after completion of any structure or structures authorized thereby.
7. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to empower the Board to change the terms of this ordinance, to
authorize uses which violate any other Town ordinance, to affect changes in the zoning map, or to add to or change
the uses permitted in any Zoning District.
JUSTIFICATION:
The applicant has provided a narrative (attached) that outlines their justifications for the four variance criteria. These are
noted briefly below. Staff has noted their review opinion below as well.
1. Special circumstances or conditions exist regarding the land, building, or use referred to in the
application, which do not apply to other properties in the district.
Applicant: This residence was involved in a fire last fall. All livable area has been demolished and removed.
The zoning building setbacks along streets have changed since the original construction from 10'
setbacks to 20' setbacks. The request is to be permitted to reconstruct the house as previously
located.
Staff: The Cottonwoods development, which this property is a part of, was originally permitted to
construct the houses within 10' of a front or street-side property line. Upon being zoned R1-6 the
building front and street-side setbacks became 20'. Other houses within the immediate area are
constructed according to the previous 10' setback requirements. Reconstruction according to the
10' setbacks would not create an obvious difference in appearance from other houses in the
neighborhood.
2. The above special circumstances or conditions are pre-existing and are not created or self-imposed by
the owner or applicant.
Applicant: The special circumstance is pre-existing and was not created by the owner or applicant.
Staff: Staff assumes that the applicant's statement refers to the zoning of the property. Staff does not
agree that the zoning district requirements by themselves constitute a pre-existing special
circumstance. The entire area currently has R1-6 zoning and has been for many years. Staff
believes that the only special circumstance that can be considered is that the house was
destroyed by fire.
Page 3 of 5
3. The variance is necessary for the preservation of substantial property rights. Without a variance the
property cannot be used for purposes otherwise allowed in the district.
Applicant: Without the variance, the residence would have to be redesigned. The redesign would
substantially alter the functional layout, square footage, and value of the property compared to
neighboring properties.
Staff: Staff agrees that the house would have to be redesigned from its original footprint if the variance
is not granted. Staff has not been provided with alternative floor plans for review, or any appraisal
information regarding relative house values in the area, and so can not speak to the accuracy of
those statements.
4. The authorizing of the variance will not be materially detrimental to persons residing or working in the
vicinity, to adjacent property, or to the neighborhood or the public welfare.
Applicant: The authorization of this variance will not affect any persons residing or working in the vicinity of
the property, or to the neighborhood, or the public welfare.
Staff: Staff agrees that a variance to allow the reconstruction of the previous house footprint would not
affect other nearby parties or properties in a negative manner.
Risk Analysis (options or alternatives with implications):
Granting the variance will allow the applicants to reconstruct the house located as before and within 10' of the
front and street-side property lines.
Denial of the variance will require that the applicant reconstruct the house according to the current R1-6 zoning
ordinance setbacks.
Fiscal Impact(initial and ongoing costs; budget status): None anticipated
Staff Recommendation(s):
Staff recommends the following findings:
1. Special circumstances or conditions exist regarding the land, building, or use referred to in the
application, which do not apply to other properties in the district.
FINDING: MET
The arguments that the property was rezoned after the house was built, that the house was subsequently
destroyed by fire, and that reconstruction under the current setback requirements would create a substantially
different requirement from the other properties in the area meets the minimum criteria needed to show that
special circumstances and conditions exist regarding the property that do not apply to other properties in the
district.
2. The above special circumstances or conditions are pre-existing and are not created or self-imposed by
the owner or applicant.
FINDING: MET
The argument that the pre-existing house was destroyed by fire meets the minimum criteria needed to show that
special circumstances and conditions exist that were not self-imposed and that do not apply to other properties in
the district.
Page 4 of 5
3. The variance is necessary for the preservation of substantial property rights. Without a variance the
property cannot be used for purposes otherwise allowed in the district.
FINDING: NOT MET
Allowing an exact duplication of a pre-existing nonconforming structure is not a substantial property right that
needs to be protected under the town's zoning. In fact, Section 4.01.D specifically requires otherwise and Section
4.01.G speaks specifically to properties that have been re-zoned. Limiting the overall size and location of the
building footprint does not stop the property from developing under the R1-6 zoning district requirements. It
should also be noted that the district is not limited to single-story homes and as such the square footage of the
house may not necessarily have to be reduced.
4. The authorizing of the variance will not be materially detrimental to persons residing or working in the
vicinity,to adjacent property, or to the neighborhood or the public welfare.
FINDING: MET
The applicant's proposal is in keeping with standards established in the surrounding area as well as other
residential districts and the proposed variance will not be materially detrimental to persons or property in the
vicinity.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
APPROVE:
Move that the Board of Adjustment make findings 1 — 4 as noted in the staff report (and amended) this evening,
and APPROVE the requested VARIANCE from Section 4.01 of the Town of Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance to
allow the construction of a house at 17024 N. De Anza Drive with 10' front and street-side setbacks.
DENY:
Move that the Board of Adjustment make findings 1 — 4 as noted in the staff report and DENY the requested
VARIANCE from Section 4.01 of the Town of Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance.

Edwards/ Forster Residence
17024 N. De Anza Drive
Fountain Hills, AZ 85268
Narrative Report-Variance Justification:
A. This residence was involved in a fire last fall and all of the livable area has been demolished
and removed except the existing concrete slab. When the residence was original built in 1987,
the west corner property line setback allowed was 10 feet. The zoning ordinance has changed
since the residence was built and the current setback requirement for R1-6 zoning for the west
corner property line is 20 feet. The area encroaching into the current setback area is considered a
non-conforming use as per the Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance Section 4.01.
SECTION 4.01 Nonconforming Uses and Structures
D. Reconstruction:
When any nonconforming use or structure is dismantled or damaged by fire,
explosion, collapse, act of God, act of the owner, or act of public enemy to
the extent of greater than fifty (50) percent of its reconstruction or
replacement value, as determined by three (3) competent appraisers, then
the said structure and the use of the land shall conform to all regulations for
the zoning district in which said structure and land is located. The services of
the three (3) appraisers shall be retained by the owner of the building or
structure after the three (3) appraisers are mutually agreed upon by the
Town and the owner of the building or structure.
The Variance request is to maintain the original 10 foot setback distance that applied when the
residence was built.
B. The special circumstance is pre-existing and was not created by owner or applicant.
C. Without the Variance, the existing residence would be have to be redesigned 10 feet less in
width. The redesign would substantially alter the functional layout, square footage and value
of the property compared to the neighboring properties.
D. The authorization of this Variance will not affect any persons residing or working in vicinity to
the adjacent property or to the neighborhood or the public welfare.
