Current Zoning: “I-1” – Light Industrial District. SPIN Neighborhood #8. DETAILS: The properties are located north of Exchange Blvd. between Market Loop and Commerce St. Four industrial buildings are currently located on two platted lots described as Lots 1 and 9, Block C, Commerce Business Park. The applicant is proposing to replat the two existing lots into four lots with one building on each lot. A Plat Revision must comply with all underlying zoning district regulations. Although, there are no changes to the improvements on the property, the new lot boundaries create non -conformities with the current zoning regulations. The new lot boundaries change the location of the front lot line which changes the location of the rear and side yards. This creates a deficiency in the meeting minimum side yard setback due to how the buildings were originally constructed. Additionally, the lots were constructed prior to the district having a maximum impervious coverage regulation. The new lot boundaries create new lots in violation of the current maximum impervious coverage regulation for the zoning district. The applicant has requested variances to these two requirements from the Zoning Board of Adjustment and the variances will be heard at their April 13, 2017 meeting. Zoning Board of Adjustment approval of both variances is required before the Plat Revision can be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. VARAINCE REQUEST: Subdivision Ordinance No. 483, as amended, Section 5.06.B.3 requires 5’ sidewalks on all nonresidential properties platted or replatted after the effective date of the ordinance. However, sidewalks are required with new development and are to be provided at the time of construction. Since the buildings already exist on the property, the applicant has requested a variance to the sidewalk requirement.
