Request
A request for 1) a 55.5 foot variance from the "GC-3" 60 foot front setback, as described in the US 281 North Gateway Corridor District Plan, and 2) a 15 foot variance from the "GC-3" 20 foot side setback, as described in the US 281 North Gateway Corridor District Plan, and 3) a request for a 14.5 foot variance from the 15 foot "Type B" bufferyard along the front property line, as described in Section 35-510, to allow a commercial building.
Executive Summary
The applicant is requesting the variances to redevelop an existing automotive repair shop. Previously, the automotive repair shop was located on 42,775 square feet of property; however, the Texas Department of Transportation acquired 36,336 square feet of the subject property to allow for future road expansion, leaving 6,440 square feet to develop on. The proposed new development will consist of a 1,585 square foot, four bay shop building with a detached 265 square foot office building. There will be adequate parking for the business. The US 281 North Gateway Corridor District Plan places restrictions on building setbacks. These restrictions were intended for much larger lots. The plan calls for a 60 foot front setback and a 20 foot side setback. The lot measures a maximum of 52 feet deep, less than the 60 foot front setback, and a maximum of 132 feet wide. Further, the Highway 281 arterial triggers a 15 foot bufferyard along the front of the property. The relocation of the business will result in the loss of four bays from the original automotive shop.
