ITEM NO. 2 (CON’T.) Z-10248
The applicant has stated that they intend to add a canopy system on the west side of
the structure for cover above a two (2) lane divided drive. The canopy system will
be constructed of metal frame and be approximately 55’1” long by 25’ 81/4” wide.
The applicant states the canopy system will extend west from the restaurant structure
three-foot 7-inches (3.7) into the side setback line to provide adequate coverage for
the drive-thru lanes.
Section 36-346(d) states, “Side yard shall not less than thirty (30) feet. Therefore, the
applicant is requesting a variance to allow the canopy structure to extend into the side
yard set back.
Staff is supportive of the requested setback variance. Staff views the request as
reasonable. Staff believes the proposed addition to the front of the building will have
no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the general area.
E. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the requested front yard setback reduction from 30-feet
to a minimum of 26.3-feet as outlined in the staff analysis and indicated on the
submitted site plan.
