CV25-00004 — 6-lot single-family detached subdivision in Brookhaven, GA

This variance request seeks to reduce the rear setback for Lot 5 from 40 feet to 30 feet as part of a larger rezoning and subdivision development. The staff recommends denial, finding that the variance request stems from the applicant's self-imposed design choices—specifically prioritizing preservation and expansion of existing residences over conforming subdivision design—rather than unique property constraints. The requested relief, combined with three other concurrent variances, would substantially compress the development pattern and violate the minimum necessary relief standard.
