Justification: The applicant's justification is presented in an attached letter. Present Use of Property: Vacant Commercial Building Proposed Use of Property: Pool Hall STAFF REPORT to Public Works Issues: No Comments B. Staff Analysis: The C-3 zoned property at 7524 Baseline Road is occupied by a one-story commercial building. The property is located at the northeast corner of Baseline Road and Chicot Road. There is paved parking on the south and west sides of the building. Access drives from Baseline and Chicot Roads serve the property. The building was previously used as a dry cleaning business. There is a total of 23 paved parking spaces on the site. The commercial building is currently vacant, and has 3,920 square feet of gross floor area. The applicant is proposing to convert the use of the building to a pool hall with bar service. Section 36-502(b)(3)c. of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum of 39 off-street parking spaces for this type use within the existing 3,920 square foot building (1 parking space per 100 square feet of gross floor area). Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance from this ordinance JANUARY 25, 2009 ITEM NO.: B (CON'T. standard to allow use of the building as a pool hall with bar service with 23 off- street parking spaces. The applicant has submitted a written lease agreement for the eight (8) parking spaces on the property immediately to the east at 7510 Baseline Road. Staff is not supportive of the requested parking variance. Staff does not feel there is adequate parking on the site to support the use as proposed, requiring one (1) parking space for each 100 square feet of gross floor area. The existing parking on the site is only 58 percent of the minimum parking requirement. Additionally, there are no additional parking spaces on the site immediately to the east (7510 Baseline Road), which are not spaces needed toward meeting the minimum parking for that property. Therefore, staff feels the lease of these parking spaces should not be considered. Staff believes the building at 7524 Baseline Road should be used for commercial or office purposes requiring no more than 23 off-street parking spaces. The proposed use of the property could generate an amount of traffic and parking which this site is not capable of handling. C. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends denial of the requested parking variance. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: (OCTOBER 27, 2008) Staff informed the Board that the application needed to be deferred to the November 24, 2008 Agenda based on the fact that the applicant failed to complete the notifications to surrounding property owners as required. The item was placed on the Consent Agenda and deferred to the November 24, 2008 Agenda as recommended by staff with a vote of 4 ayes, 0 nays and 1 absent. Staff Update: Staff has made numerous attempts to contact the applicant (phone messages and meeting follow-up letters) since before the October 27, 2008 hearing. The applicant has not contacted staff nor submitted proof of notification of surrounding property owners. Therefore, staff recommends this application be withdrawn, as it appears to have been abandoned by the applicant. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: (JANUARY 26, 2009) Staff informed the Board that the application needed to be withdrawn without prejudice, based on the fact that the applicant, in staff's opinion, had abandoned the application. The item was placed on the Consent Agenda and withdrawn, without prejudice, as recommended by staff with a vote of 5 ayes and 0 nays.
