.' 7 Variance 2 - Parking Setback The newly adopted City Parking Standards require all off-street parking areas to be setback 5 feet from the rear property line. The proposed off- street parking area would be setback 3 feet from the, rear property line. Again, the long and narrow shape of the subject site makes it difficult to develop the site and still comply with the required setback. Additionally, designs for the second building were based on the original plan, approved in 1984, which showed parking constructed up to the rear property line. Such an arrangement would have complied with the old parking standards which were revised in December of 1988. In an attempt to comply with the new standards, the architect has located the parking area 3 feet from the rear property line . Due to the narrow shape of the subject site, strict enforcement of Section 11-020 (f) would cause an undue hardship because of ,circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration. The proposed second building and site plan would contribute to the appearance of the subject site and allow for additional off-street parking for the existing building. The dark bronze and glass entrance to the proposed building coupled with the terraced landscaped area and landscaped ponding area would serve as an attractive display of New Brighton's industrial district to persons entering New Brighton along 5th Street NW.
