Under §25.8.2(A) Yard Encroachments, unroofed terraces may not project more than 8 feet into the required rear yard. The required rear yard setback in the R-3 AH zone is 30 feet and the proposed rear yard setback with the deck is 14 feet, meaning the proposed deck encroaches by 6 feet. This requires a “C” variance. The project increases the existing impervious surface coverage from 30.5% to 34.2%, where 35% is permitted. This is conforming. The building coverage remains at 19.3% as unroofed terraces are excluded from building coverage calculations, and the building coverage is compliant with the maximum permitted coverage of 25%.
