2. Stormwater detention ordinance applies to this property.
B. Staff Analysis:
Harcros Chemical Company occupies the I-2 zoned property
located at 3100 West 65th Street. A chemical tank
containment area is located on the northern (rear) perimeter
of the property. The large tanks are contained within a
dike wall which has a setback of approximately 2 feet from
the north (rear) property line. Harcros proposes to
construct stairs and a covered landing over the existing
tank containment area, maintaining the existing setbacks.
City Code requires a rear yard setback of 25 feet in the I-2
district.
Staff believes the variance request to be reasonable. The
proposed stairs and covered working platform will be built
over the existing tank containment area and will maintain
the existing setbacks. No greater setback variance is
created by the addition of the stairs and covered platform.
The property to the north is also occupied by an industrial
use. A parking lot and outdoor storage area on this
adjacent property provide separation between the applicant's
