Title
Resolution to Approve Bombay Grocers Planned Project Site Plan, 0.34 Acre, 3070 Packard Road (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 8 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Memorandum
Attached is a resolution requesting approval of the above planned project site plan for the construction of a 4,960-square foot, single-story retail building on this vacant site. A planned project modification has been requested from the 40-foot front setback requirement of Chapter 55 (Zoning). The petitioner has requested a reduction from 40 feet to zero feet. The petitioner has also requested modifications to the conflicting land use buffer requirements of Chapter 62 (Landscape and Screening). A 15-foot buffer is required along the rear property line; however, a portion of the driveway is located within the buffer area. The petitioner proposes to provide more landscaping in the remaining buffer area.
Benefits justifying these modifications are allowing the use of the existing rear access route, which will eliminate a curb cut on the site; and bringing the proposed building into conformity with adjacent buildings, which will result in retail streetscape continuity and allow a greater rear setback to buffer the adjacent residential properties.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of May 20, 2008, recommended approval of the planned project site plan and modifications to the conflicting land use buffer requirements.
