Hello,
Below is the email thread that was discussed with the options for building. Please note this property is
still able to be built on, it would just need to follow the setbacks in the zoning code or get a variance as
discussed below.
Should you wish to have a more official analysis of the property please fill out a zoning verification form and we will
provide you with more detailed information on the status of the property and if there are any code violations on the
property. I have provided the link below.

Jeremy,
You always have a right to ask for a variance. The application and case would be for you to determine and argue for
yourself. Staff’s role would be to talk about potential impacts and be the third-party unbiased reviewer of the
application. If you believe the application would satisfy all of the criteria for review, then apply and make your case.
Please note the Planning and Zoning commission would need to find all the criteria of review to be in your favor. This is
why variances are hard to get (at least in theory or for staff to fully support).The criteria that we would review for is as
follows (See the following link):
a) That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure or building involved and
which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district.
b) That a literal interpretation of the provisions of this title would deprive the applicant of rights commonly
enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this title.
c) That special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant.
1
d) That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is
denied by this title to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district.
e) That a literal enforcement of the provisions of this title would result in unnecessary hardship.
For purposes of this section, where a reasonable conforming use is, or can be, located on a lot or parcel,
there is no unnecessary hardship.
That being said there could be a case to accomplish a variance for the centerline setback and have it go to the normal
front yard setback. I believe that would be the only option for a variance though and still would need to think about and
review for whether or not it would constitute a deprivation of a right associated with that zone. At this present time my
thought would be Staff would be relatively silent on a recommendation of support or denial.
As for your question regarding a regular residential home being built on the property, a single family detached would be
allowed in this zone. For further information on allowed uses see the following link.
If you have any questions, please reach out.

You don't often get email from jeremy@realestatetwinfalls.com. Learn why this is important
\[EXTERNAL SENDER\]
thank you very much for your attention to this matter. 1 last question - as this is R6 with
commercial office overlay - can a regular residential home be built on this property or does it have to be
commercial?

If I could get a response at earliest convenience regarding the following:
Attached is a visual so we can see how this plays out with a 93' setback from centerline along older
portion of Addison (320sf buildable area), an 83' setback from centerline (766 sf buildable area) and
also the standard 20' front setback from property boundary (2120 sf buildable area), I would think that
an exception/variance allowing a 60-65 centerline setback would be appropriate based on this area
and surrounding properties. Let me know if that is something that is possible. otherwise it does make a
3
potentially great lot nearly unusable and an eye sore for the area. The neighbor to the west is about 43-
45' setback and neighbor to east around 54 feet.
side note: alternatively, is there anything that would prohibit the lot from being used to just park
equipment/trailers/etc if building on it is really not going to work out.

I went to our zoning map and it looks like from north property line to south property line on Addison, it is about
84’ from the measurement I took, so that would put you at 42’ from centerline. There is a reduction of
centerline to 83’ from the 93’, but you would need to ask someone in Engineering how they will look at the
access for this lot.

(C) Access Restricted Developments: Residential developments which have a front, rear, or side yard adjacent to an
arterial or collector street, and having no access to that street may have the above listed setback reduced from ninety
three feet (93') to eighty three feet (83') or from eighty feet (80') to sixty five feet (65'), for arterial streets, and from sixty
two feet (62') to fifty two feet (52'), for collector streets. Any residential development with a reduced setback, as
provided herein, shall be prohibited direct access to the arterial or collector street. (Ord. 2686, 4-2-2001)

I was not aware of the setback distance from centerline. Can you tell me distance of centerline to
edge of property?
Also is there a way to get an exception to that setback by showing properties both to the east and west
are closer than that as well as many other homes along this corridor on this South side of Addison.
And I do understand they would be grandfathered in. But they are already blocking the ability for
further widening of the road, so a setback pushing this buildable area further south would feel
somewhat unnecessary.

Hi Jeremy,
I see that we have set up an appointment with you, but I wanted to point out that this property fronts Addison
St. and has a center line setback of 93’. We have had a couple of people in the past inquire about this lot and
the center line setback makes the building envelope pretty small. Were you aware of this?

I am curious about the acceptable building envelope on this parcel as well as the ability to build
residential or commercial.

It is R-6 with professional office overlay:
I show 20' front setback
15' back setback
5' side setbacks
With this odd shape - would we be looking at the 20' off the North side for the front and 15' off the
southwest side along the alley as the back and then the 2 eastern boundaries 5' from them.
I show the offset of 20' off Addison actually put the building envelope further back on the lot than the
neighboring parcels.
Building Envelope is the yellow in the image below:
