Request
A request for 1) a 14'11" variance from the 15' Type B landscape bufferyard requirement, as described in Section 35-510, to allow a bufferyard to be as narrow as 1" along the west property line, 2) a 20' variance from the 25' maximum building height to allow a 45' tall building, and 3) a 9'11" variance from the side 10' setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a commercial building to 1" from the west property line and 4) a variance from the provisions in Section 35-517 "Building Height" that require that a commercial or office development that abuts a single-family district, when seeking height beyond that permitted by the base zoning district, shall be limited to the height of the adjacent single-family zone for the first 50 feet from the shared property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 1807 West Wildwood Drive along IH-10 Frontage Road. The applicant is seeking variances to allow for a three story office building with parking area. The applicant states that the existing property sits in an odd shaped lot and it will make it difficult for any residential use. Staff is concerned about the project as the requested variances seem to nearly double the allowed height, and all but eliminate the setbacks and bufferyards intended to protect nearby property owners.
