CASE: 131-83 ITEM: Rezoning (It-T to 5-2) Variance (Side dP Setback) (Reduced I'arkinl; Sparc::) APPLICANT: Cordon 9nyerknh1rr LOCATION: UnL Suuuyside Road SUMMARY 06 RP.OURST See attached letter which describes this revised request. The previous; request proposed to rezone the property to an R-0, Residential OfIlea nLStrIct, which would have required both a side yard setback variance and conditional use permit approval. The applicant has since withdrawn this previous request. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 1. Existing zoning on the property is R-3, Medium Density Residential. 2. Comprehensive Plan denotes the area as being Nigh Density Residential. 3. The applic4-nt unit is requesting a itresidential building nentirely to annofficevert 11e existingting building. 4. Setbacks: a) Front and rear setbacks have been met. b) The existing building is located [en feet from the cast property line. Setback requirements for R-3 (the present use and zoning of the building)is 20 feet when it abuts another residential lot. The setback requirement for B-2 buildings (proposed use) is also 20 feet when it abuts a residential lot. The existing setback for both the present use (R-3) and proposed use (8-2) does not meet Code requirements. By changing the zoning and use of the existing structure, a continuance of the non -conforming setback is being requested. This would require a variance to continue the non -conformity. It should be noted that the variance request is not as a result of an action by the applicant. A non -conformity exists whether the building remains as an R-3 or whether it is converted to offices (B-2). 5. There are no minimum lot width and area requirements for B-2 uses. n 6. Parking - The site plan shows 18 parking spaces, whereas, the Zoning Code requires 20 spaces. A variance of 2 parking spaces is required. Spaces shown measure 9-1/2 x 20 feet, meeting existing Code requirements.
