Request
A request for a 1) a 10 foot variance from the 15 foot rear setback, as described in Table 35-310.01, to allow 5 foot rear setback and 2) a 15 foot variance from the 20 foot side setback, as described in Table 35-310.01, to allow a 5 side setback and 3) a request for a variance to eliminate the 15 foot "Type C" bufferyard, as described in Section 35-510, to allow an office development.
Executive Summary
The applicant is requesting variances to allow the construction of a 38,356 square foot office building park. The property sits adjacent to a 216 foot wide drainage easement to the south, currently zoned "MF-33" Multi-Family District, and a multi-family development, currently zoned "O-2" High-Rise Office District. The property also has portions located within in the 100 year floodplain.
According to the UDC, an "O-2" zoned property abutting a residential zone, or use, must include a 30 foot rear setback and a 20 foot side setback. Since the "MF-33" zoned property is an easement, up to 15 feet of the easement can be used towards the 30 foot rear setback, thus the request for the variance from the 15 foot rear setback. Although the property to the east is zoned "O-2", the use is multi-family residential, which triggers the 20 foot side setback. The 15 foot landscape buffer is triggered when "O-2" zoned property abuts a residential zoned property, which in this case is "MF-33". The property also includes a 25 foot front setback, which further reduces developable space on the site.
