FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for a waiver of the sidewalk requirement
FILE: 787-OB
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of the sidewalk waiver
along Langham and denial of the sidewalk waiver along College.
Nikul Patel, representing Arvansa Property Management, has
requested a waiver of the sidewalk requirement for a new retail center
being built at 6120 College. Mr. Patel states that the reason for the
request is that there are no sidewalks on the north side of College or
the west side of Langham.
Along Langham, the property line is approximately 30 feet from the
edge of pavement. However, there is an open drainage that would
make it very difficult to install a 5 foot sidewalk. Along College, the
property line is approximately 15 feet from back of curb. There is
adequate room to install a sidewalk.
The Subdivision Regulations state that the Planning Commission may
grant a waiver to the sidewalk requirement if the applicant can prove
that there is an engineering reason for not installing a sidewalk.
