26-004 — Construction of new front porch with reconfigured stairs in Coweta County, GA
This variance request seeks a 5-foot encroachment into the required 50-foot front setback (resulting in a 45-foot setback) to construct a new front porch on a corner lot single-family residence in Rural Conservation district. Staff and development review have no objection to the variance, and the project is not expected to impact public facilities or nearby properties. The Board of Zoning Appeals will determine whether the corner lot configuration and desired porch reconfiguration constitute sufficient hardship to justify the variance.
