Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV22-011A
Ordinance #1895-2022, passed July 11, 2022 (CV22-011), allowed a 54-unit apartment building with reduced development standards in the AR-3, Apartment Residential District on property located at 840 Michigan Avenue. The ordinance included variances for reduced parking setback, a parking space reduction, and reduced building setbacks of not less than 9 feet along Buttles Avenue, 13 feet along Thurber Drive West, and 23 feet along Michigan Avenue, but inadvertently did not include allowance for a generator and transformer to encroach into the setback area along Thurber Drive West. However, the site plan and Statement of Hardship included with the ordinance reflected this reduced setback area for the generator and transformer. This ordinance amends Section 1 of Ordinance #1895-2022 to correct the building setback variance discrepancy. No other aspects of Ordinance #1895-2022 are changing.
