Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV23-041

PROPOSED USE: Accessory storage.

FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of part of one parcel developed with commercial retail in the CPD, Commercial Planner Development District. The applicant requests a Council variance to permit an outdoor storage area behind a retail building for gasoline-powered equipment. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Far East Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “Mixed Use 1 and Mixed Use 2” uses at this location. While the Plan does not address accessory storage uses, Staff supports the request as it will provide an accessory storage use behind the existing commercial building, hidden from the primary frontage along East Main Street.
