Summary
The Applicant requests approval of alternative front and rear setbacks pursuant to NBMC Section
20.30.110(C) and Section 21.30.110(C) due to the orientation of the lot and the lack of public right-of-way
access that results in undue development limitations created by the Code -required setbacks. Specifically,
the proposal is to reduce the 20 -foot front setback along Bayside Drive to 7 feet and increase the Code -
required 10 -foot rear alley setback along a private alley to 12 feet. The requirements for 6.5 foot side yard
setbacks would remain unchanged.
