"0-2". The ordinance allows only one driveway per 300
street of frontage in commercial zones. Planning Staff can
support the variance request for a second drive if the two
drives line up with those existing across the street. David
Scherer may wish to comment on the variance request.
H. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVAL of the site plan review. An amended site plan is
to be submitted in respect to the driveways. The Variance
request requires a separate motion. Approval is subject to
conditions in this staff report.
