.... " ~ )-' LP-94, NC-42 Page #2 have overhead doors which are used in,order to get the trucks that have been refinished out of ' the, buildings. After the trucks are refinished they are taken to' the rear of the site and stored unti,l the applicant's clients pick them up. The applicant contends that because of the garage do~rs and the area needed to maneuver the trucks and trailers the entire front yard cannot be landscaped ~s required. As indicated by the site and landscape plans the applicant is proposing to install 2 landscaped ,areas that a~e 251 x 40L. The only concrete curbing on the site encloses these landscaped areas. In addressing"the non~conformity of front yard parking the applicant is restricting front yard parking. to 4 spaces in front of the office building. All other parking will takep]ace in the rear yard ~f the site. The proposal of the applicant somewhat addresses the existing n b n - con for m i tie s . ' Howe ve r, s t a f f fee 1 s t hat the rea read d'i t ion a 1 means available to the applicant that are practical and ff implemented would better meet the intentions of the non-conforming use section of the zoning code. The landscaped areas should be extended to the south to the paved roadway. The other areas in the front yard that are not landscaped should be paved. The site plan does not indicate the necessary parking spaces. The plans should specifically indicate the areas for parking and the storage of vehicles in the rear yard. The storage of vehicles is required to be setback 15 feet from the property line adjacent to I-35W. It shou)d also be noted that the planindicat~s that the parking spaces are 9' x 18' . The zoning code requires that the spaces be 91 x 20'. There is adequate room in both the front and rear yard to extend the spaces to the required 2G feet. In summary, with above staff recommendations adjusting the applitant's .site and landscape plans, the application would meet the intentions of the non-conforming use pe~mit by reducing the impact 6f the existing non-conformities. In regard t6 the building plans, they are complete and contain all the necessary information. STAFF RECOMMENUATION Staff recommends that the Board recommend approval of NC-42 by waiving the reading and adopting the atta~hed resolution with conditions.
