STAFF REPORT
Munro=s Safety Apparel, LLC has applied for a variance to the
minimum setback requirement when abutting street right-of-way
from 25' to 15'. The property is located at 1520 Broadway.
The applicant states that he would like to construct a kitchen addition
onto the southwest corner of the Munro=s Community Room. Mr.
Munro allows charities, service organizations and business associates to
use this facility.
The addition is proposed to be 15' from the right-of-way lines along
Gulf and Broadway. The zoning of the subject property is split
between GC-MD and HI. The portion of the property where the
addition is being constructed is zoned HI. As such, the setback
requirements are 25' from any street right-of-way.
The applicant states that the expansion will not block any roads, alleys
or impede any views. Neither will the expansion infringe on any
utility lines or drainage facilities. Just west of Gulf St. is a Union
Pacific railroad right-of-way. Gulf St. has a low amount of traffic.
The nearest residential zoning is over 200' from the subject property.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all
three conditions necessary for approval have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
