FILE: 697-BA
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.
Exhibits are attached.
