Home My WebLink AboutItem 15 Public Hearing for 125 S. Circle Key Dr. - Moody Variance RequestMeeting Date: November 18, 2025 Item #: 15 Contact Name: Berenice Belizaire Department Director: Contact Number: Ext. 1070 City Manager: Craig Shadrix Background Summary: The property (parcel ID number 18-22-28-7122-01-250) is located within Commission District 3, is zoned RT-1 (Mobile Home Subdivision), and is within the Pioneer Key Park mobile home subdivision platted in 1976. It is bordered by road rights -of -way on the north, west, and south sides. Since the mobile home entryway faces west, the east side is considered the rear yard of the lot. Due to the narrowness of the lot, the mobile home cannot meet the minimum 20-foot rear setback. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance to reduce the minimum rear building setback from 20 feet to 7 feet, for the purposes of placing a 22' by 36' (792 square feet) mobile home on the lot. The lot is a substandard lot of record, as it does not meet the minimum 7,000 square foot lot area for the RT-1 zoning district, but has retained the same configuration since the plat. Use of the lot for the installation of a mobile home is permitted subject to the home meeting all other applicable minimum zoning requirements, including building setbacks. Provided below are the minimum zoning requirements for the RT-1 zoning district from Table 5-2: Minimum Zoning Descriptions on Permitted Uses. Side street setbacks are not currently indicated in Table 5-2. However, a 15-foot side street setback is intended to be made for residential zoning districts during the Land Development Code update, and the home meets the side street setback.

That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structures, or required subdivision improvements involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures, or required subdivision improvements; City of • •-- T Bluford Avenue • •_ Florida 34761 • - 1 *1 i1www.ocoee.org Page 218 of 356 2. That a literal interpretation of the provisions of these regulations would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties with similar conditions; 3. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant; 4. That the granting of the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by these regulations to other lands, structures, or required subdivision improvements under similar conditions. No pre-existing conditions of neighboring lands which are contrary to these regulations shall be considered grounds for the issuance of a variance. Applicant Response: The applicant stated that the mobile home installer and property owner understood that they received approval for installation (Used Mobile Home Pre -Inspection Permit 3291-2024, attached). Money has already been invested in the project. We are requesting that setbacks be reconsidered for installation, specifically a 7-foot rear setback of the mobile home. Staff Analysis: As a point of clarification, the mobile home "prior installation approval" (as documented in attachment 6) was the Building Division Inspection Report, which was a pre -inspection by the Building Inspector for purposes of the suitability of the mobile home structure for occupancy and was not City approval of the installation of the mobile home on the property. Relative to the variance approval criteria, staff finds that, based on the circumstances and conditions of the existing lot, there is sufficient demonstration that the four (4) variance evaluation criteria are met. Staff analysis is summarized below: Criteria 1: Special Circumstances & Conditions: The lot abuts road rights -of -way along three (3) property lines. Sunset Key Court abuts the lot on the north property line, and West Circle Key Drive abuts the lot on the south and west property lines. A boundary survey indicating the front yard, side street, and rear yard setbacks is attached based on the hierarchy of the roadway functions and the orientation of the mobile home. Applying the RT-1 zoning district minimum building setbacks to the lot would not permit the installation of a mobile home, as the minimum 20-foot rear setback (east property line) cannot be met. Criteria 2: Literal Interpretation of Code: The literal interpretation of the provisions of these regulations would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties with similar conditions. Strict application of the front and rear minimum setbacks would result in a buildable area width of 10 feet, which cannot support a 22-foot wide mobile home. Criteria 3: Actions of the Applicant: The circumstances of this variance are not the result of the actions of the applicant, as the lot has retained its original configuration since being platted in 1976. Due to the lot having three (3) frontages, the mobile home cannot meet the minimum 20-foot rear setback. Criteria 4: Conference of Special Privilege: Approving the requested variance would not confer to the applicant any special privilege that is denied by these regulations to other lands, structures, or required subdivision improvements under similar conditions. Within Pioneer Key Park, there are existing mobile homes that were installed in accordance with the zoning regulations established prior to 1992. Approving the requested rear setback reduction would allow the property owner to install a mobile home on the lot like all the other lots in the mobile home subdivision, thus allowing the property owner the same benefit as other lots. Additional Considerations: As of 2011, twenty-eight (28) mobile home installation permits have been issued for properties in the Pioneer Key Park and Security Mobile Home Park subdivisions. Of the issued permits, a majority of the lots were conventionally rectangular interior lots that, despite not meeting the minimum lot area, met the setback requirements of the RT-1 zoning district. For historical permitting purposes, the lot located at 40 Eagle Key Court has an identical configuration to 125 S. Circle Key Drive and was approved for a mobile home installation permit. • - j111110NM I a m-- • • Page 219 of 356 Staff supports the variance as there is sufficient justification to support the request. Issue: Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve the requested variance to Section 5-14A and Table 5-2 of Article V of the Land Development Code to reduce the minimum 20-foot rear building setback by 13 feet and allow a 7-foot rear setback for the installation of a mobile home on the property? Recommendations: Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) considered this item at its October 14, 2025, hearing. During discussion, questions were raised regarding whether the property was on septic or sewer and whether the property had been split in the past. Regarding wastewater service, staff responded that it is likely that the property is on sewer and that staff would confirm. Regarding whether there was previous lot split, staff responded that no lot split has occurred and that the lot has kept its original configuration. Following discussion, the PZC voted unanimously (5-0) to make recommendation of approval of the requested variance to Section 5-14A and Table 5-2 of Article V of the Land Development Code to reduce the minimum 20-foot rear eastern building setback by 13 feet and allow a 7-foot rear setback for the installation of a mobile home at the property located at 125 S. Circle Key Drive. Since the date of the PZC hearing, staff has verified that the property receives City sewer services. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve the requested variance to Section 5-14A and Table 5-2 of Article V of the Land Development Code to reduce the minimum 20-foot rear building setback by 13 feet and allow a 7-foot rear setback for the installation of a mobile home at the property located at 125 S.
