Applicant:
Swanson Development Group
Owner:
Nabil Issa
Council District:|1010|Location:
6647 Callaghan Road
Legal Description:
Lot 14, Block 1, NCB 12781

Zoning:
"C-2 AHOD" Commercial Airport Hazard Overlay District
Case Manager:
Margaret Pahl, AICP, Senior Planner
Request
A request for a 20 foot variance from the 30 foot rear setback requirement, as described in Table
35-310, to allow a new building to be located within 10 feet of the rear property line.
Executive Summary
The applicant is under contract to purchase the existing Texaco Gas Station and is planning to demolish the existing canopy and convenience store and construct a new building and service station canopy. The property includes 23,500 square feet and is surrounded on two sides by arterial streets and the other two sides by existing multi-family residential housing. The proposed redevelopment plans did not consider the adjacent land residential because the property is zoned "C-2". Residential land use however, even multi-family, triggers minimum building setbacks. The applicant is hoping to be given approval to construct within 10 feet of the rear property line. The applicant is satisfying a variety of development standards in this project, such as increasing the landscaping adjacent to the arterial streets and meeting the minimum side setback. The existing site has had a carwash and a large oak tree along this property boundary. Both of these are slated for removal during the redevelopment.
