I am working on a project in an urban area with a lot of interesting zoning items. This particular property is very small at only 50' x 50' with a 500sf single-family residence (1925 Craftsman Bungalow) located in a commercial zone. Because of the commercial zoning we have no setbacks. Owner wants to push to property line with a 1500sf 3-story modern addition. I'm curious - will we run into any issues with access for fire by not having setbacks? There is access to the rear yard from a gate by the driveway. I am attaching a site plan for reference. Thank you for any help!
