Building Setbacks Section 5-040 Required Proposed Front (east) 30’ to lot line 50’ to boundary w/R-1 30’ 63’ Rear (west) n/a 49’ Side (north) 50’ 50’ Side (south) 50’ 130’ As noted in the above table, the proposed building placement meets the minimum setback standards of the B-1, Limited Business zoning district. Parking Setbacks Section 11-020(6) Required Proposed Front (east) 30’ 30’ Rear (west) 5’ 5’ Side (north) 25’ 25’ Side (south) 25’ 25’ As noted in the above table, the proposed parking lot meets the minimum setback standards of Chapter 11 of the Zoning Code. Building Height Section 5-040 (1) Required: 2 stories, 36’ – whichever is less Proposed – 2 stories, 25’ As noted above, the proposed building height is in compliance with the maximum allowed in the B-1, Limited Business zoning district. Floor Area Ratio The B-1, Limited Business zoning district does not have a minimum or maximum floor area ratio (F.A.R). For discussion purposes, the maximum F.A.R. allowed in the B-2, Neighborhood Business district is .75. The proposed F.A.R is 0.25 (45,163 SF land area/ 11,200 SF building area), well below the B-2 maximum of .75, which would be the intent of the B-1 district assuming the absence of a minimum F.A.R is an oversight in the code. Staff finds the proposed F.A.R to be reasonable given the Limited Business zoning designation the applicant is seeking through the Rezoning. Required # of Parking Stalls Section 11-030(3) requires office buildings and/or professional office uses to be parked at a ratio of one parking stall for every 200 SF of floor space. Section 11-030(1) requires the calculation to be based on gross square footage minus 10%. This equates to the following: 11,200 SF gross floor area – 10% = 10,080 SF / 200 SF = 50 stalls The applicant’s proposed Site Plan depicts 50 surface parking stalls and two indoor stalls, for a combined total of 52 parking stalls. Staff finds the proposed Site Plan to be in compliance with the minimum number of required parking stalls for an 11,200 SF office building.
