Alright, I'd like to call the planning and zoning commission meeting for May 20th, 2026 to order.

Secretary Wright, please conduct a roll call.

Albuquerque, present.

And Wright is here.

Chair, we have a quorum.

Thank you.

Before we move on, I'd like to recognize Commissioner Carl Rockellia.

This is his last meeting on the Planning and Zoning Commission.

He's served two terms of I guess six years.

He's not able to be here this evening, but we do want to thank him for his service and his dedication and look forward to seeing him when he's back in town.

Public forum.

First order of business tonight is public forum.

During public forum, members of public have the opportunity to address planning zoning commission on issues which are not part of tonight's agenda.

Please keep your comments limited to three minutes.

Also, for the sake of all those in attendance, please refrain from clapping or shouting uh out in response to comments made by any speaker.

Secretary Wright, do we have anyone sign up for public forum?

No one here tonight.

All right.

Next order of business is public hearings.

Uh we have one public hearing scheduled for tonight's meeting.

For each hearing, we will begin with staff presentation or introduction, followed by the petitioner's presentation.

We will then take public testimony to ensure that we have an opportunity to hear from each person wishing to speak.

Please keep your comments specific to the request under consideration and try to avoid repetitive comments.

Also, for the sake of all those in attendance, please refrain from clapping or shouting out in response to comments made by any speaker.

Following all public testimony, the petitioner will provide closing remarks just prior to the closure of the public hearing.

No further public testimony will be taken after the petitioner begins their closing remarks or during the planning and zoning commission's deliberation.

I will now swear in any member of the public wishing to speak.

Those of you who wish to provide testimony, please stand up.

Please raise your right hand and respond.

I do.

I swear to tell truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Thank you.

You're married.

Wrong wrong, wrong one.

Okay, wrong.

Wrong script.

Okay.

The only case on tonight's agenda is DEV 0017 2026.

The public hearing is now open.

Teresa Egner from staff will present the case.

Thank you and good evening.

Therese Egner with the city's planning services team.

DEV 00172026 is a request submitted by the petitioner for approval of a variance to allow a deck to encroach into the rear yard setback at 501 Larksburg Court.

The subject property is zoned R1A, low density single family residence district, and is approximately 13,001 square feet in size and is improved with a single family residence and existing deck.

The property is a corner lot located on the northeast side of Braymar Avenue and Larksburg Court.

Per the R1A zoning district regulations, the property has a rear yard setback of 25% of the lot depth, which need not exceed 30 feet.

Based on this provision, the subject property has a 28.65 foot required rear yard setback.

The code provides an allowance for patios, decks, and porches to extend up to 10 feet in the required rear yard setback.

This results in an 18.65 foot permitted setback from the rear property line for attached decks at the subject property.

An attached deck currently exists on the subject property in the rear of the home, located in the same footprint as the proposed deck.
