Request
A request for 1) a 14'11" variance from the 15' Type B landscape buffer yard requirement, as described in Section 35-510, to allow a buffer yard to be 1" along the north property line, and 2) a 9'11" variance from the 10' Type A landscape buffer yard requirement, also described in Section 35-510, to allow a buffer yard to be 1" along the east property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located along two thoroughfares: Potranco being a Primary Arterial Type A on the north, and NW Crossroads being a collector road on the south. The area is surrounded by various uses like, residential, commercial, and offices. The applicant is requesting variances to develop a vacant lot and construct an Information Technology building. Due to the existence of a Primary Arterial Type A road to the north and a Collector road to the east, the UDC requires a minimum of 15' buffer yard Type B along the north side and a 10' buffer yard Type A long the east side.

The applicant stated that this data center requires high security measures and because of the 14' electric, gas and cable easement, the security fence is set to be 14' away from the property line. The applicant is proposing to plant the buffer area vegetation further into the site. The buffer yard area will not be used for any construction.
