Request
A request for 1) a 14'11" variance from the 15' Type B bufferyard requirement, as described in Section 35-510, Table 510-1, along the front property line to allow the front bufferyard to be 1", and 2) to waive the planting requirement, as described in Section 35-510, Table 510-1, for shrubs along the front bufferyard to allow a bufferyard to contain only trees.
Executive Summary
The applicant is requesting two items. The first request is for a 14'11" variance from the 15' Type B bufferyard along the front property line to allow the front bufferyard to be 1" as this reduction would allow the parking spaces located in the front of the property abutting the existing bufferyeard to remain. The second request is to waive the planting requirement for shrubs along the front bufferyard to allow a bufferyard to contain only trees due to shrubs currently planted in the existing bufferyard. The lot includes an existing building with a row of parking spaces abutting a landscaped buffer owned by TxDOT. This lot is surrounded by other lots that do not have a 15' front bufferyard. Further, this property is surrounded by other commercially zoned properties.
