Item No. 2 - Z -3449-A
Owner: Tim Templin by Bill Putnam
Address: Murray Street, just south of
West 65th Street
Description: Tract 77, Little Rock Industrial Park
Zoned: "I-2" Light Industrial
Variance: Request variance from Sections 7-104.2 E2
to permit a 15' encroachment into a
required side yard.
Present Use of
Property: Vacant
Proposed Use of
Property: NAPA Auto Parts Store (1/2 utilization)
Staff Recommendation:
Section 7-104.2, Paragraph E, Subparagraph 2 requires that
industrial buildings be sited with 30' side yards. The
applicant believes this to be an excessive requirement and
is seeking to leave only a 15' side yard on the west side of
his proposed building.
Staff feels that the criteria established within the Zoning
Ordinance relative to bulk and area requirements are
reasonable and proper for industrial development. There is
an awareness of certain efforts to have the requirements
reduced in a future amendment of the ordinance, but staff
believes that under the present circumstances it is
necessary to follow the ordinance. There are no hardships
unique to this property which would justify a variance.
Staff recommends denial of this request.
Board Action:
The applicant was present, and there were no objectors. The
applicant described the area around this property and the
circumstances which had prompted him to file the
application. He cited the problems of conflict that he
views as being between the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances
and made a lengthy presentation in support of his
application.
After a lengthy discussion, the Board moved to deny the
application. The motion was passed: 4 ayes, 2 noes and
1 absent.
