Staff Report:

classified on the Master Street Plan as commercial
streets. Dedicate right-of-way to 30 feet from

Street Plan). Construct one-half street improvements

Item No.: 5 (Cont.
4. Plans of all work in right-of-way shall be submitted
for approval prior to start of work.
5. Grading permit will be required on this development.
6. Stormwater detention ordinance applies to this
property.
B. Landscape and Buffer Issues:
Areas set aside for perimeter, interior and building
landscaping meet with landscape ordinance requirements.
However, a portion of the street buffer along Health Care
Blvd. drops 6 feet below the minimum 20 -foot width allowed
by the Zoning Ordinance.
All landscaped areas will be required to be irrigated.
Prior to a building permit being issued, a landscape plan
stamped with the seal of a Registered Landscape Architect
will be required.
C. Staff Analysis:
The proposed Lot 5, I-430 - Colonel Glenn Commercial
Subdivision is zoned C-3 and C-4 and is currently
undeveloped. The lot is approximately 14 acres in size.
The applicant proposes to construct a new one-story
commercial building on the property which will house a
multi -screen movie theater. The proposed theater prototype
building will have a maximum height of 51 feet - 6 inches.
The maximum building height allowed in C-3 and C-4 zoning is
35 feet.
Staff feels that the variance request is reasonable. The
proposed commercial building is located on a 14 acre lot,
with building setbacks which far exceed the minimum setbacks
allowed in C-3 and C-4 zoning. Based on the size of the
commercial lot and placement of the proposed commercial
building, staff feels that the proposed building height will
have no adverse impact on the surrounding lots.
D. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the height variance subject to
compliance with the requirements as noted in paragraphs A
and B of this report. The proposed commercial building will
have a maximum overall height of 51 feet - 6 inches.
