FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Request for a certificate of appropriateness to allow two parking
lots
FILE: CA-1903
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval subject to the following
condition:
1. A 6' wide landscape strip will be required along the parking
lot frontage along Liberty and Broadway.
Altus Beaumont wants to construct two overflow parking lots
at 2666 Liberty and 2669 Broadway. Both properties are vacant
and zoned GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling)
District.
The Historic District regulations state that parking lots must
be setback along street frontages not less than the required
yard setbacks or as far back as the front of immediately adjacent
buildings, whichever is greater. The proposed parking lots
are setback 30' from the front property lines. The front
setback in a GC-MD District is 20'. Adjacent structures are
30' from the front property line.
The landscaping regulations require that a 6' wide landscape
strip be installed along the parking lot frontages on Liberty
and Broadway. The ordinance does allow 3' of the required
landscape strip to be placed on the public right-of-way.
Exhibit is attached.
