File No.: Z-5910
mazer• Jackpot, Incorporated
Address: 7300 Geyer Springs Road
Description: Lot 1R, Nosals Replat
Zoned• C-3
variance Recruested: A variance is requested from the
area regulations of Section 36-
301(e) to permit construction of a
new convenience store with a
reduced rear yard setback of 1
foot. The ordinance requires a
rear yard setback of 25 feet.
A variance is also requested under
the provisions of Section 31-12(c)
to permit construction of a canopy
which will cross a platted 40 foot
building line. The canopy will
have a front yard setback of 5
feet.
Justification: The buildable area of this lot is
greatly limited due to its shallow
depth of 100 feet and by the 40
foot building line along the
Forbing Road and Geyer Springs Road
frontages.
Present Use of Propert : Convenience store with gas pumps
Proposed Use of Property: Same; the existing store is to be
removed and a new building
constructed in its place.

A. Engineering Issues: I
Compliance with the City's Stormwater Detention Ordinance is
required.
B. Staff Analysis:
The applicant proposes to raze and remove the existing
convenience store on this property. A new convenience store

Item No.: A (Cont.)
will be built in its place. The existing store consists of
a small building and a detached canopy over the gas pump
islands. The new store would be larger and the gas island
canopy would be attached to the building.
The new building is proposed to have a reduced rear yard
setback of 1 foot on the south side. The ordinance requires
a rear yard setback of 25 feet. The proposed canopy will
cross the platted 40 foot building line and will have a
setback from the Geyer Springs Road property line of 5 feet.
The lot adjacent to the south is zoned C-4 and is occupied
by a 4 bay car wash. Allowing the proposed convenience
store to have a reduced rear yard setback will not impact
the car wash property. A driveway separates the car wash
building from the proposed new convenience store.
The property line, on the Geyer Springs Road frontage, is
setback from the traffic lanes by approximately 10 feet. If
constructed with a 5 foot setback from the property line,
the canopy will be located 15 feet from the traffic lanes.
The support posts for the canopy are located back an
additional 10 feet. Staff feels that this will give
adequate sight distance and the proposed canopy will not
intrude upon the Geyer Springs Road traffic.
Staff feels that the proposal is reasonable, due to the
shallow depth of the lot and the limiting factor of the 40
foot building line, and supports the requested setback and
building line variances.
If the building line variance is approved, the applicant
will need to file a one lot replat and an amended Bill of
Assurance reflecting the change in the building line.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested building line and
rear yard setback variances.
