A-16-025
Applicant:
Danny Watson
Owner:
Chickencoop, LLC
Council District:|1313|Location:
5630 Walzem Road
Legal Description:
Lot 9, NCB 15894
Zoning:
"C-2 AHOD" Commercial Airport Hazard Overlay District
Case Manager:
Logan Sparrow, Senior Planner
Request
A request for a ten foot variance from the minimum ten foot bufferyard, as described in Table 35-510-1, along 70 percent of the frontage, to allow no bufferyard along Walzem Road.
Executive Summary
The applicant is developing a restaurant on a pad-site along Walzem Road. Because the zoning on the property is "C-2" Commercial District, and fronts along a minor arterial, a Type A bufferyard, requiring a ten foot depth, must be established. The applicant states that the site plan has been designed to account for all of the planting requirements. Private restrictions mandate that the development provide for more parking spaces than what the city requires. In this case, the Unified Development Code requires that 70 parking spaces be provided. However, private deed agreements require the development to provide 90 parking spaces, well above what is required for a restaurant. The required ten foot bufferyard is provided along 70 feet of the 234 foot frontage, equaling about 30 percent of the frontage. The applicant is seeking a variance to eliminate the ten foot depth along the remaining 70 percent of the Walzem Road frontage.
