RE: Variance Case 06-00500168 - 1511 UNIVERSITY DR E
Dear Veronica,
The Zoning Board of Adjustments voted (3-1) to deny the variance for the
Minimum Off-Street Parking Standards requirement for the above-referenced
case. This vote was taken at the Board's regular meeting on September 5, 2005.
Please contact me at 979.764.3784.
Sincerely,
Deborah Grace
Staff Assistant
Secretary to the Board
PC: File
3- ( c , I e
The request is for a variance to Section 7.2 Minimum Off-Street Parking Standards for
the Wings 'n More Restaurant located at 1511 University Dr East.
The applicant would like to expand the outdoor patio by 650 square feet for additional
seating area and to add an outdoor bar.
( The subject property has approximately 245 feet of frontage along University Drive and
( has several access points via shared access easements throughout the developed
restaurant row along University Drive and along the Highway 6 frontage road.
VARIANCE INFORMATION
Background: The Wings 'n More restaurant was originally site planned and approved in
4� August of 2002. In order for the site plan to be approved, the property owner had to get a
joint parking and access agreement for 28 parking spaces from the adjacent property
owner where Gateway Phase Two is developed (Linen-N-Things and Pet's Mart).
Currently, there are 28 off-site parking spaces permanently dedicated to Wings 'n More.
The applicant's proposed expansion will require 10 additional parking spaces by the City
of College Station's Unified Development Ordinance.
The applicant has offered no special condition or hardship; however a letter has been
submitted with supporting information as to why the applicant feels the variance is
warranted.
As far as Alternatives the applicant has listed four options as foil
letter-fr
Option 1 - Provide the 10 parking spaces on site.
Option 2 - Justify for large-scale development why fewer parking spaces are required
based upon a parking study prepared by a professional engineer or
transportation planner.
Option 3 - Provide an alternative parking plan for shared parking. This requires that the
shared parking be provided off-site but within 250 feet of the subject property
under a shared parking agreement. This may be accomplished for multiple
use developments where the parking of the multiple uses is located near one
another and they have different peak parking demands or different operating
hours. This shared parking must be enforced with a recorded agreement.
Option 4 - Provide an alternative parking plan for off-site exclusive parking where
additional or"extra" parking is provided on an adjacent lot (not more than 250
feet away) and these spaces cannot be counted toward meeting the parking
space requirements of more than one user. Again this alternative parking must
be enforced with a recorded agreement.
The applicant states that all of these options have been explored. Option 1 will not work
because there is no space available on site. The other three options will not work
because they require cooperation of the adjacent property owner of the shopping center.
The adjacent property is not willing to enter into a signed agreement for the shared
parking. The adjacent property owner is not opposed to overflow parking into his
shopping center.
Recommendation: Staffs recommendation is for denial. All of the restaurants along
University Drive came in one at a time and were required to meet their own parking
