Accessory Dwelling Unit Variance at 1055 W. Tortolita Mountain Circle
Summary
A homeowner in La Cholla Air Park wants to convert their aircraft hangar into the main house and turn the existing house into an accessory dwelling unit with a garage. Because zoning rules normally ban garages on front-yard ADUs, the board granted a variance based on the neighborhood's unique runway-oriented layout.
