Description
A variance request to reduce the accessory structure setback from the main dwelling's foundation from 10 feet to 5 feet and the rear setback from 20 feet to 11 feet 3 inches, to allow a backyard pool.
Impact summary
If granted, the pool could be built closer to the house and rear lot line than standard zoning allows; the Board's action sets a precedent for similar requests.

Setback relief for residential pool at 108 Bay Hills Dr
A property owner sought relief from the city's zoning setback requirements to install a pool, asking that the required 20-foot setback be reduced to zero feet. The request could set a precedent for how strictly setback rules are enforced in the Rockport Country Club subdivision.
Accessory structure setback requirements and pending code amendments
Multiple recent pool variance requests are pushing the city to rewrite its zoning setbacks. Staff and a consultant are drafting an amendment that would allow 5 feet between a pool and a home foundation with an engineered letter, which would make requests like this one unnecessary in the future.
