Request
A request for a 25 percent variance from the requirement that a building located in the "C-1" zone have at least 30 percent of the fa?ade dedicated to windows, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a building to have five percent of the fa?ade dedicated to windows.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 6515 Tezel Road, immediately north of the intersection of Tezel Road and Old Tezel Road. The property owner is seeking to develop a church at the subject property. Due to the nature of the proposed development, the applicant had concerns about dedicating 30 percent of the front fa?ade to window openings. According to the application this standard would require a significant portion of stained glass, which is costly, and the owner wishes to reduce the amount needed for the church use. The other option would be to use regular windows, but the applicant is concerned that those would detract from church operations.
