The Terre Haute Board of Zoning Appeals approved a 3-foot reduction from the required 5-foot side setback so a new two-car garage can be built at 335 South 22nd Street, plus a separate variance letting the existing house — built in 1928 right on the property line — count as meeting the setback rule with no side yard at all.
City engineering staff recommended approval, saying the change won't alter the neighborhood's character because many nearby homes and garages already sit closer to their lot lines than current rules allow.
The garage is designed to leave room for a future driveway off 22nd Street.
