Z-3853-A Staff AnalysisAugust 19, 1985 Item No. A - Z -3853-A Owner: Address: Description: Zoned: Variance Requested: JT79TTPTCATT0N Frank Whitmore 2503 Gaines Lot 1 and the North 12 feet of Lot 2 Block 1, Kimball's South Park Addition 11C-3" General Commercial From the side yard setback provisions of Section 7-103.3/D.2 to permit a new addition with a 4 -foot setback Location of existing building and provide adequate parking. Present Use of the Property: Commercial Proposed Use of the Property: Commercial STAFF REPORT A. Engineering Issues None reported. B. Staff Analysis The request is to permit a 4 -foot side yard on the south side of the property. Because the lot to the south is used for a residence, the Zoning Ordinance requires a 15 -foot side yard. If the property to the south was a nonresidential use, then no setback would be necessary. In June 1982, the Board of Adjustment approved a similar variance for a building that is identified as the existing structure on the accompanying sketch. It appears that the 4 -foot side yard has had little impact on the residential use to the south. The proposed addition/structure will replace a smaller building so the amount of encroachment will increase but that should not create any problems. Staff feels that the owner has provided adequate justification and supports the variance with the condition that the City's traffic engineer approve the driveways and access. The lot has three driveways off two streets and one from the alley and this could possibly cause a traffic flow problem if not properly controlled. August 15, 1985 Item No. A - Continued C. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the variance subject to the traffic engineer approving the driveways and access.
