Title
Public Hearing - Variance Request V14-028 - Reduction of side setback from 20' to 16' - 0.7 Acres - Land Lot 492 - 2267 Dixie Avenue - Fairbanks Property Services, Inc.
Body
ISSUE: The applicant is proposing to redevelop the subject property at 2267 Dixie Avenue with a new 1,948 sq. ft. office building and a 9,375 sq. ft. auto body shop. The subject property is currently vacant and under development. In order to develop the property as proposed, the site will require three variances as the site is very constrained. The applicant is requesting a side setback reduction from 20' to 16', a rear setback reduction from 30' to 4.5', and a street side setback reduction from 33.35' to 25.6'.
BACKGROUND: The subject property was annexed into the city, at the request of the property owner, by the Mayor and Council on May 19, 2014 by a vote of 7-0. In addition, the Mayor and Council approved a waiver of development fees for the project at the August 4, 2014 meeting by a vote of 6-0.
RECOMMENDATION/REQUESTED ACTION: Community Development recommends approval of the requested variances with the following condition:
1. Approval of the requested variance shall be conditioned upon the development of the property in substantial compliance with the site plan and elevations submitted with the variance application.
