A request for a 14.5' variance from the 15' Type B landscaped bufferyard along the south property line, described in Section 35-510, to allow a bufferyard to be 6" deep.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 10644 Interstate 35 North, situated along Interstate 35 North access road. The applicant is requesting bufferyard reduction variances in order to develop the eastern half of the property. Proposed designs include an employee parking lot, storage warehouse, and a drainage creek and detention pond. Because the width of the eastern half of the property is severely restrictive at 125' wide, ingress and egress easements, CPS electrical line easements, and the topographical changes existing along the adjacent residential properties and between the two lots of the property, the applicant has proposed to decrease the bufferyard requirements along the southern and northern property lines.
Additionally, the topographical disparities existing along the southern end of the applicant's property, adjacent to the residential zoned lots, prohibit development and must include a mandatory drainage creek and detention pond.
The applicant has reached out to Department staff and is interested in modifying the original request to seek a bufferyard alternative that provides between 3' and 5' of landscaped separation. Should the amendment be formally provided at the Board hearing, staff may concur with the alternative design.
