Q16-15 — Detached accessory dwelling unit located between the primary dwelling unit and the front (east) property line in Phoenix, AZ
This case involves variances for an over-height fence (6 feet versus the 40-inch maximum) and a reduced front yard setback (3 feet versus the required 20 feet), along with a use permit for a detached accessory dwelling unit in the front yard area on the east side of the property. Developers should monitor if precedent-setting approvals for accessory dwelling units in restricted yard areas could affect their projects in similar residential contexts.
