STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval subject to the following
condition:
1. The applicant must provide written permission to use
available parking within 400 feet of the subject property
or apply for and be granted a special exception to the
parking requirement by the Board of Adjustment.
Bono Esperanza has applied for a specific use permit to allow
a funeral home in a GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family
Dwelling) District. The property is located at 3311 Calder.
The funeral home will operate out of an existing commercial
building. It will provide complete funeral services except
for an on-site crematory. The funeral home will be open 10
a.m. - 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday. On days with
visitation, the funeral home will be open until 8 p.m. Three
employees will work at the facility.
Mr. Esperanza states that the chapel will accommodate up to
seventy-five persons. Based upon that number, nineteen parking
spaces will be required. The site plan shows five parking
spaces across the front of the property. According to the
Calder Street Project Engineer, the property frontage will
remain as it currently exists, which is a driveway. The
applicant must provide written permission to use available
parking within 400 feet of the subject property or apply for
and be granted a special exception to the parking requirement
by the Board of Adjustment.
Exhibits are attached.
