RE: Property located at 1311 Wellborn Road {Southwood Crossing at Bee Creek)
Dear Ms. Ruiz :
This letter is to inform you that the above referenced property has received an administrative adjustment of 16
parking spaces (10% adjustment) of the required 164 parking spaces, according to Section 12-7.3, Off-Street
Parking Standards . The subject property is zoned GC General Commercial and developed as a shopping
center, with a gross floor area of -21 .000 sq ft (excluding Phase II , or Layne's) that requires 84 parking spaces.
The shopping center is permitted 25% (5 ,250 sq ft) to be occupied by intense use tenants. The shopping center
is occup ied by 12,325 sq ft of existing and planned intense uses , an excess of 7,075 sq ft beyond the 25%
threshold . This requires 56 additional parking spaces, 30 parking spaces for 4 ,500 sq ft at 1 :150 and 26 parking
spaces for 2,575 sq ft at 1:100.
According to the Unified Development Ordinance Section 12-3.17, the Administrator has the authority to
authorize adjustment of up to ten percent (10%) from any numerical zoning standard set forth in the Unified
Development Ordinance . To approve the application for an adm ini strative adjustment, the Adm inistrator shall
make an affirmative finding that specific criteria, as outlined in Section 12-3.17.E of the Unified Development
Ordinance , have been met.
The Adm inistrator has found that:
Granting the adjustment will ensure the same general level of land use compatibility as the otherwise
applicable standards because the reduction of 16 parking spaces does not significantly alter the intensity of
the land use ;
Grantin g the adjustment will not materially or adversely affect adjacent land uses or the physical character
of uses in the immediate vicinity of the proposed development because the reduction of 16 parking spaces
does not significantly alter the character of the structure or its density; and
Granting the adjustment will be generally consistent with the purposes and intent of this UDO owning to the
scale of the reduction .
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 979. 764.3570 .
Sincere~ /
