Title
Resolution to Approve Theta Delta Chi Site Plan, 700 South State Street (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 7 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Memorandum
Attached is a resolution to approve the Theta Delta Chi Site Plan. Approval of this resolution will allow for the construction of a 2,366 square foot addition to the existing fraternity house.
Petition Summary:
· The Site Plan proposes to construct a 2,366 square foot addition to the rear of the existing fraternity building, and adds bike storage, dumpster screening, and a patio area to the site. No change in the current occupancy of 33 residents is proposed. The site is .40 acres.
· The site plan was revised to meet a City Planning Commission request that the petitioner work out the Monroe Street driveway configuration to avoid interfering with on-street metered parking. The petitioner worked with the Downtown Development Authority to arrive at a mutually agreeable drive opening location.
· Permission to alter a nonconforming structure, and variances for the proposed number of parking spaces, the driveway width, and the width of the conflicting land use buffer were granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals at its meeting of March 27, 2013.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of February 21, 2013, recommended approval of this request. At the same meeting, the City Planning Commission approved continuation of the fraternity special exception use.
