Place
To: Zoning Board of Adjustments
From: Clay Chew,Building Official
Date: December 17,2020
Re: Staff Report for Docket 2020-0019,3933 Southwestern St.
Applicant's Request
Applicant is requesting a variance to allow a second gas meter for a back-up generator at 3933
Southwestern Street.
Background Information
The second meter would be denied due to the Zoning Ordinance only allowing one on a single
family detached building site.
Appendix A, Article 2, Section 2-102 Certain Terms, Single-detached use. (2) There is no
multiple utility service on the building site.
Variance Request
Applicant is requesting a variance to install a second gas meter for a back-up generator.
(1) The ZBA has made all findings and determinations required by state law for the
granting of a variance. A "special condition" or "hardship" that is self-created,
personal or based only on financial reasons is not sufficient to support the issuance of
a variance.
(2) The ZBA has made any additional findings and determinations required by a
specific provision of this section which relates to the variance.
(3) The variance has been reduced to writing and includes any conditions prescribed
by the ZBA or required by this section for the variance in question.
The findings to grant a favorable result for this application are as follows:
(1) The ZBA must find that a literal enforcement of the ordinance would result in an
unnecessary hardship.
(2) By granting the variance would the spirit of the ordinance be observed and
substantial justice done?
(3) Would the variance be contrary to the public interest?

Request for Variance to Appendix A,
Article 2, Section 2-202
To Whom it May Concern—
I am writing to file an official request to Appendix A, Article 2, Section 2-202 of the
Zoning Ordinance for the City of West University Place on the grounds that not having an
emergency backup generator would create an unnecessary hardship to me. Generators of
Houston, having over 15 years of experience installing emergency backup generators for
residential applications, has advised that a new gas meter would be necessary in order to install
a backup generator at my home at a reasonable cost, while still maintaining all of the setbacks
that are required in your ordinances regarding generator placement. If my request for a new
gas meter is denied, this would disqualify me from getting a generator at my home, thereby
putting me in a vulnerable position when it comes to unexpected power outages, especially
when hurricane season comes back around. I thank you for taking the time to review my
request. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about the variance being
requested.
Sincerely,
r-
