The effect of the proposed ordinance, if adopted, would allow a comer lot owner the option of <br />bringing a driveway within T of his or her rear lot line. Any driveway so located would be closer <br />to an adjacent neighbor's rear yard. In staffs opinion, allowing a driveway to come closer to an <br />adjacent rear yard area will not create a nuisance and will not create impacts that are any more <br />negative than other uses already allowed in rearyards, such as pools and decks areas. <br />For these reasons, the proposed LDR amendment specifies that driveways on corner lots may <br />encroach into required rear yards the same as side yards. Thus, the proposed amendment, if adopted, <br />would allow driveways on corner lots to be located to within 2' of a rear lot line. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the proposed LDR amendment <br />regarding driveway setbacks for corner lots. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />1.
