Request
A request for 1) a 35 foot variance from the 60 foot front building setback, as described in the Northeast Gateway Corridor District development standards, to allow a new building 25 feet from the front property line; and 2) a 15 foot variance from the 20 foot side setback, as described in the Northeast Gateway Corridor District development standards, to allow a building to be five (5) feet from the side property line.
Executive Summary
The property is located on the southeast corner at the intersection of IH-35 North and Weidner Road. The site is a former gas station, currently used for vehicle sales. The proposed use will be a new 7-Eleven convenience store and gas station. The applicant has applied for building permits to construct the site as designed. The subject property is within the Exxon Subdivision Unit 7, which includes a 25 foot platted building setback, however since the property is within the Northeast Gateway Corridor, the new building must also comply with the "IH-1" design standards, which consists of a minimum 60 foot front setback and 20 foot side setback. Other corridor overlay standards regarding landscaping, building materials, percentage of windows on front fa?ade were also noted as denial comments during the permit review.
In reviewing the presentation of the proposed overlay ordinance from 2004, the Council emphasis was on limiting visual chaos and enhancing the City's image as scenic and livable. This goal resulted in enhanced landscaping requirements, parking lot screening and larger building setbacks. Redevelopment is an opportunity to further these goals.
