| A | Practical Difficulty Variance Appeal:
1918-1920 Forest Avenue, William Jipson, owner, Tax Map 324, Block A, Lot 001, B-2 Community Business Zone: The applicant is seeking a variance from the residential density requirements of the B-2 Zone. The applicant is requesting a change of use from one retail space and one dwelling unit to two dwelling units. The maximum residential density requirement [section 14-185(a)(5)] depends on the density requirement for the closest residential zone which is R-5. Section 14-120(1)(b) requires 3,000 square feet of land area per dwelling unit. The applicant is seeking relief from section 14-120(1)(b) to allow approximately 5,608 square feet of land area instead of the required 6,000 square feet. Representing the appeal is the owner.
