Z-6700
TCBY Enterprises, Inc.
11300 N. Rodney Parham Road
Lot 2, Pleasant Valley Place
Commercial Subdivision
C-3
A variance is requested from the
height regulations of Section
36-301 to permit a new roof
addition which exceeds the
allowable height.
Applicant's Statement: TCBY
Enterprises proposes to remodel the
Valley West Office Building located
on N. Rodney Parham Road #11300.
The existing three-story office
building has a flat roof that is
currently at the C-3 zone allowable
height of 35'-011. The remodeling
project includes the resurfacing of
the exterior, adding windows and a
new grand entrance facing Rodney
Parham. The proposed roof is an
integral part of the remodeled
design. In order to install the
hipped roof, we are requesting a
variance to the height restriction
of 35'-0" in the C-3 zone. The
new, hipped roof has been designed
with a slope of 4:12 and will
increase the building height to
43'-6" in lieu of 35,-0" as
required in section #36-301.

Staff Report:
A. Public Works Issues:
1. Rodney Parham is listed on the Master Street Plan as a
minor arterial. Dedication of right-of-way to 45 feet
from centerline will be required.
1. Repair or replace any curb and gutter or sidewalk that is
damaged in the public right-of-way, prior to occupancy.
B. Staff Analysis
The C-3 zoned property located at 11300 N. Rodney Parham
Road is occupied by a three-story office building. The
building has a flat roof and is currently at the maximum
building height permitted in the C-3 zone, 35 feet. The
applicant proposes to substantially remodel the building
with improvements to both the interior and exterior. The
applicant also proposes to install a hipped roof on the
building, raising the height of 43.5 feet.
Staff believes the requested height variance to be
reasonable. The minor height variance should have no effect
on adjacent properties. The variance will allow for only
the roof addition, no additional floors of office space.
The proposed remodeling, including the addition of a
colored, standing -seam, metal roof, should result in an
improved building which should enhance the neighborhood.
The proposed remodeling will not reduce the building's
existing rear or side yard setbacks. A new, grand entrance
will be added to the front which has a setback exceeding 200
feet.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested height variance
subject to compliance with the following conditions:
1.The standing -seam metal roof is to be painted a non -
reflective color.
2. Compliance with Public Works Comments, including any
variance of these requirements as may be granted by the
Board of Directors.
