PROJECT:
REQUEST: Tri-Dal Ltd. is requesting approval of a zoning change and site plan from "S-P-1"
Detailed Site Plan District to "S-P-1" Detailed Site Plan District to include a
contractor's storage yard. The purpose of this request is to add a two-story office
addition of approximately 4,200 square feet to an existing building. The change of
zoning is required for the "S-P-1" Detailed Site Plan District due to the increase in
square footage from the previously approved site plan. The specific changes include:
An increase in the floor area of an existing building by approximately 4,200 square
feet for office use.
Revisions to the exterior elevations associated with the above changes.
The following variance is being requested:
Sidewalk: Sidewalks are required along all street frontages where a City Council
approved site plan is required. This site requires such an approval due to the “S-P-
1” zoning. The applicant is requesting a variance. Under the current regulations,
none of the adjoining sites would be required to continue the sidewalk.
New construction intended to increase the square footage by less than 30% of the
existing building or less than 5,000 square feet shall be required to meet the
requirements of Ordinance 544-A (Landscape Ordinance) only as it pertains to the
square footage of the new construction. In this case additional interior landscaping for
20% of the proposed building square footage will be required to be installed upon the
inspection for a certificate of occupancy for the new building addition. A total of 420
square feet of interior landscape area must be provided and the following plant material
