~ < ".... ~," 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 until the applicant's clients pick them up. Theapp1icant contends that beta use of the garage doars and the area needed to maneuver the tfucks and trailers the entire front yard cannot be landscaped as required. As i'ndicated by the site and landscape plans the applicant is proposing to install 2 landscaped areas tbat are 25' x 40'. T~~ only concrete curbing on the site encloses these landscaped areas. In addressing the non-conformity of frbnt yard parking the applicant is restricting front yard parking to 4 spaces in front 'of the office building. All ~ther parking will take place in the rear ya~dof the site. The propo~al of the applicant somewhat addresses the existing nan-conformities. However, staff feels that there are additional means available to the applicant that are practical and if 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 stora~e of vehicles is required to be setback 15 feet from the prop~rty line adjacent to I-35W. It should also be noted that the plan indicates that the parking spaces are 91 x 18'. The zoning code requires that the spaces be 9' x 20'. There is adequate room in both the front ~nd rear yard to extend the spaces to the required 20 feet. In summary, with above staff recommendations adjusting th~ applicant's site and landscape plans, the application would meet the intentions of the non-conforming use permit by reducing the impact of the existing non-conformities. In regard to the building plans, they are complete and contain all the necessary information. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board recommend approval of NC-42 by waiving the reading and adopting the attached resolution with conditions.
