way to 0’ in HI (Heavy Industrial) zoning.
Location: 399 Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway
Applicant: Munro’s Dry Cleaners, Inc.
Ms. Ward presented the staff report.
Munro’s Dry Cleaning, Inc. is requesting a variance the minimum right-of-way setback in HI (Heavy
Industrial) zoning from 25’ to 0’. An addition is proposed to the rear of the building to allow for
covered parking at 399 Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway. The roof has been designed to line up with the
existing structure that is located just inches from the Broadway Street right-of-way. New regulations
require that the addition be set back a minimum of 25’ from the right-of-way, due to the industrial
zoning at the rear of the property.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all three conditions necessary for a
variance have been met.
Slides of the subject property were shown.
Fifteen (15) notices were mailed to property owners within 200 feet of the subject property. No
responses were received in favor or in opposition.

Blanchard stated that he only wanted to expand in the service alley area where the delivery trucks are.
Chairman Timaeus asked if anyone had any questions or comments for the case. No further discussion
was made. Board member Maness made a motion to approve a request for a variance of the minimum
right-of-way setback in HI (Heavy Industrial) zoning from 25’ to 0’ as requested for File 697 BA.
