especially true on the west side of the lot where it is adjacent to County Road C/29thAvenue. The west side is also considered the front yard, requiring a large set back. In addition to being bordered by three streets, the building occupies more than 50 % of the lot. This situation further limits the amount of space available for parking. The Planning Commission found this property is *unique as it is bordered on three sides by streets, which according to the City Ordinance requires additional setback distances. Anthony Lane South on the west side of the property is found to be a wider street and as such would not be impacted by allowing the parking lot to encroach into the setback by nine feet; and WHEREAS, The granting of the variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code. The Zoning Code requires 38 parking spaces for the Building Fastener building based on square footage and largest shift. Granting a parking variance for the additional 11 spaces would be in keeping with the spirit and. intent of the Zoning Code. The Planning Commission found that by allowingtheparking p g variance, the impact on the surrounding properties and vehicular traffic would be reduced. Cars would not be parked on the street creating difficult passage for traffic in the area and Mr. O'Brien would not have to depend on neighboring properties to provide overflow parking for his employees and customers; and WHEREAS, The Planning Commission stipulated that if this request is approved and if any trees are removed for the construction of this parking area, he needs work to with City Staff to replace there. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Planning Commission recommends to the City Council approve a variance for parking expansion at 2825/2827 Anthony Lane South. Adopted this 25th day of Jq1y, 2006.
