FILE: 694-BA
STAFF REPORT
Soutex Surveyors & Engineers is requesting a variance the minimum right-of-way
setback in LI (Light Industrial) zoning from 25' to 10'. The area has been zoned LI for
many years, but continues to be developed with commercial establishments. The rear
setback in GC-MD (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling) would be 10', but
rezoning this property would be considered spot zoning, and is not, therefore, feasible.
By moving the main structure as far back as possible, the owner hopes to provide as
much maneuvering space as possible around the gasoline pumps.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all three conditions
necessary for a variance have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
