Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV22-005A
Ordinance #1669-2022 (CV22-005), passed June 27, 2022, a concurrent Council variance to Ordinance #1668-2022 (Z22-007) included a variance to reduce the required perimeter yard along the eastern property line for a multi-unit residential development. This ordinance updates the variances requested because the overall development site is unable to combine parcels due to different taxing districts. This has resulted in additional variances to maneuvering, parking space, perimeter yard, and minimum number of parking spaces required. Staff supports the additional variances as they are the direct result of the applicant’s inability to combine parcels and that the site plan filed with Z22-007 is not changing as the result of this amendment.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
