SUBJECT Variance Request - Equity Trust Company/Jeffrey &
Tyler Kuehl - 1690 Indian River Drive - Side and Rear
Setbacks - CWR Zoning District
CITY OF SEBASTIAN
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TRANSMITTAL
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The CWR zoning district is a mixed-used district located mainly within the Riverfront area, and which
has established different setback requirements for residential and commercial uses. The property owners
purchased the lot in 2023 and have designed a plan for a residence they wish to build. They feel the
residential setback requirements are restrictive for the small lot, and are requesting relief from the code.
In accordance with Section 54-1-2.5, staff has provided a report detailing the variance request,
applicable exhibits, the criteria established for determining variances, along with additional information
to assist with the Board’s consideration. At this time, Staff does not find that the request meets all
applicable criteria for granting the variance; however does have alternative suggestions in the event that
the Council finds otherwise.
RECOMMENDATION
Conduct a quasi-judicial public hearing to consider a variance request to allow a proposed single-family
residence to encroach into the required 15-foot side yard and 20-foot rear setbacks
