STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval subject to the following
conditions:
1. A six (6) foot wide landscape strip shall be installed
along the Ave. C and Franklin St. frontages of the parking
lot.
2. Provide an eight (8) foot tall wood screening fence and
a ten (10) foot wide landscape strip along the south
property line.
3. Provide a ten (10) foot rear yard building setback, a
fifteen (15) foot interior side yard building setback and
a twenty (20) foot front yard building setback or get a
variance to the front, side and rear yard building setbacks
from the Board of Adjustment.
Arden Diamantis, the property owner, has applied for a specific
use permit to allow a restaurant in a NC (Neighborhood
Commercial) District. The property is located at 1695 Franklin
St.
Mr. Diamantis plans to construct a 3,000 sq. ft. commercial
building with related parking. The building would contain
different suites available for different types of businesses
such as, but not limited to, clerical, legal, insurance, office,
general merchandise and a restaurant. As for the uses listed,
a restaurant would be the only one to require a specific use
permit.
In November, 2007, Mr. Diamantis received a specific use permit
to allow a smaller building for similar uses. However, Mr.
Diamantis never developed the property. That specific use has
since expired.
Exhibits are attached.
