Daniel utility

Part of the SW 1/4, NE 1/4, Section

R-2
A variance is requested from the
location of off-street parking
provisions of Section 36-507 to
permit construction of a parking
lot on R-2 zoned property.
Applicant's Statement: This
applicant desires to construct
additional parking for his
business. He recently purchased
the 1.14 acre tract, zoned R-2,
adjacent to the property on which
his present business is located,
zoned 0-3.
The applicant is requesting this
variance to allow parking to serve
his business on R-2 zoned property
due to the fact that his business
is currently inadequately served
with the existing parking and the
area available for parking that now
exists on the site.
The applicant originally intended
to re -zone the property to allow
for this use but was instructed by
staff that the Planning Commission
had recently ruled to not allow any
revisions to the Land Use Plan in
this area to allow for rezoning of
any lands designated as Single
Family Residential to Commercial
use.

B. Staff Analysis:
Daniel Utility is located on the 0-3 zoned property at 9715
Colonel Glenn Road. The property is relatively deep
however, only the front portion adjacent to the street is
zoned 0-3. There is currently inadequate area available for
customer and employee parking. The company has recently
acquired the 1.14 acre tract adjacent to west. This
adjacent property is zoned R-2. Daniel Utility would like
to develop additional employee and customer parking on a
portion of this R-2 zoned tract. The portion to be
developed would extend approximately 160 feet south of the
street, the remaining 500± feet of the tract will remain
undeveloped.
Staff believes the request is reasonable. This narrow (75
feet wide) tract is located between Daniel Utility and a
single family residence. The biggest portion of the tract
will remain undeveloped. The new parking lot will be
developed in full compliance with City Code, including
landscaping and screening to shield the adjacent single
family residence. Any lighting will have to be low-level
and directional, aimed away from adjacent residential
properties.
Daniel Utility currently parks business related equipment on
the 0-3 zoned site. No portion of this R-2 zoned property
may be used for parking of equipment or storage of
materials.
In response to Public Works Comments, the applicant will
submit a revised plan reflecting the new right-of-way and
