SUBJECT: Consider a request for a variance to the minimum front yard
building setback from 25' to 0'
FILE: 620-BA
STAFF REPORT
Eric and Roxanne Hellberg have applied for a variance to the
minimum front yard building setback from 25' to 0'. The property
th
is located at 407 7 St.
The purpose of the variance request is to allow the construction of a
surface parking lot that will be used in conjunction with the leasing of
the former Easy=s Restaurant building at 2333 Calder.
The proposed tenant will be operating a pub/grill. On May 16,
2011, the Planning Commission recommended approval of a
specific use permit for the parking lot subject to meeting the setback
requirement or the granting of a setback variance by the Board of
Adjustment.
The Historic District regulations state that A a parking lot must be set
back along street frontages not less than the required setbacks or as
far back as the front of the immediately adjacent buildings, whichever
is greater.@
The applicants will be leasing the parking lot to Mike Albanese, the
owner of the restaurant building. Mr. Albanese states that the
th
required setbacks along Broadway and 7 will drastically cut the
number of available parking spaces that could be placed on the subject
property. The leasing of the restaurant building will greatly depend
upon how many parking spaces can be made available for customers.
Currently, there are 8 marked parking spaces behind the restaurant
building and 29 marked spaces in a parking lot south of the
restaurant. That parking lot was constructed by the former owner
without any building permits. Therefore, marked spaces may not meet
City Code. At least 4 of the 29 spaces are located within the 25'
front yard building setback.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all
three conditions necessary for approval have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
