GERMAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a commercial building containing office, eating and drinking establishment, and outdoor patio uses in the R-2F, Residential District, as permitted by Ordinance #2531-2022 (CV22-040), passed on October 17, 2022. The requested Council variance allows a maximum of 2,117 square feet of office space, 5,169 square feet of eating and drinking establishment space, and 1,871 square feet of outdoor dining space, and is required because the square footage of allowable eating and drinking establishment space granted by CV22-040 is being increased from 4,125 square feet resulting in more parking spaces being required. Variances to dumpster area, lot coverage, building lines, side yards, and a parking reduction from 87 required parking spaces to zero provided spaces are also included in this request. In response to the parking space reduction, a parking study was reviewed and approved by the Department of Public Service with CV22-040. Staff supports the requested uses and variances because they are consistent with the existing uses occurring on the property and, the historic development pattern of South 3rd Street, and are supported by the German Village Commission.
