Board of Zoning Appeals
Board considers dimensional variance for car dealership at 1028 N. Hartwell Ave.
The Board of Zoning Appeals will hear an appeal by Dave Jensen requesting a dimensional variance from Sections 22.35(7)(a) and 22.35(7)(c) of the city’s zoning code. The variance would permit an addition to an existing car dealership office and repair facility at 1028 N. Hartwell Ave. The proposed addition would have a street yard of 19.7 feet and a rear yard of 3.8 feet, which are less than the required 25‑foot setbacks.
- Dimensional variance request for addition to car dealership at 1028 N. Hartwell Ave (street yard 19.7 ft, rear yard 3.8 ft vs required 25 ft)
zoningvariancedevelopmentautomotive
✓ Decided: Variance appeal for car dealership addition denied

Hartwell Ave. The variance would have allowed construction of an addition to an existing car dealership office and repair facility with reduced street and rear yard setbacks. The motion to approve failed with all five members voting against it.
- Approved minutes of August 12, 2024 (unanimous)
- Denied variance appeal for 1028 N. Hartwell Ave. (5-0)
