Title
BA-18-16: VARIANCE REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO REDUCE THE BUILDING FRONTAGE ON STATE ROAD 7 FROM THE REQUIRED MINIMUM OF 70% TO 42% FOR THE ARBOR VIEW PROPERTY LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF N.W. 31ST STREET AND NORTH STATE ROAD 7
BACKGROUND: Per Section 9.7(h) of the Zoning Code, a minimum frontage of 70% is required on State Road 7 in the TOC-G zoning district. The proposed property has an irregular shape that does not allow for building construction in the northern panhandle of the site. The total frontage on State Road 7 is 576 feet of which 246 feet are part of the panhandle that is only 50 feet deep and cannot accommodate a building. The remainder of the site is 330 feet and the proposed building is approximately 244 feet along State Road 7 which is 74% of the buildable area of the site. The petitioner proposes site amenities on the panhandle portion of the site such as a dog park, exercise path, and shuffleboard courts. Petitioner is requesting a reduction of the minimum frontage required from 70% to 42% due to the irregular property configuration.
The Site Plan was approved by the Development Review Committee on May 10, 2016. An excerpt from a draft of the meeting minutes is attached.
RECOMMENDATION: See attached Staff Recommendation.
FISCAL IMPACT: n/a
