Request
A request for a 10 foot variance from the "Type B" 15 foot bufferyard requirement to allow a five (5) foot bufferyard, as described in Section 35-510.
Executive Summary
The applicant is requesting the variance from the 15 foot "Type B" bufferyard to reduce the landscape buffer to five feet and allow more developable space on the property. The property currently has two vacant commercial buildings, one built in 1932 and the other in 1958. The owner wishes to reduce the bufferyard to better accommodate parking. One of the two buildings on site is built within the front 15 feet of the property. The other building is located 28 feet from the front property line. The bufferyard is triggered due to arterial classification of N. New Braunfels Avenue. Additionally, there is about 15 feet of paved City-owned right-of-way in front of the subject property that could also include landscaping, if desired.
