Action Requested: (Circle One) Setback Variance Appeal of Zoning Official's Interpretation arking Variance Special Exception Sign Variance Other Current Zoning of Subject Property: C-1 General Commercial Applicable Ordinance Section: Unified Development Ordinance, Section 7.2.H, Number of Off-street Parking Spaces Required GENERAL VARIANCE REQUEST The following specific variation from the ordinance is requested: 1.450 LBB c ro ppt rcw;�►-I- Modify the retail sales parking requirement from 1:250 sq. ft. to 1 sq. ft. In order to tie this variance to the proposed furniture store, the ZBA could condition the variance upon the use of the retail sales area as a furniture, appliance or carpet store. The proposed store will have approximately 15,000 sq. ft. in warehouse space and 35,000 sq. ft. in retail sales. At the current requirement of 1:250, the facility will need a total of).55'2' ° parking spaces. At the proposed requirement of 138 sq. ft., the facility will need a total of parking spaces which is more than adequate for a furniture store. "5a Lgg 1=vrccpplt2- L1313 PO This variance is necessary due to the following special conditions: c`P p t t ca F Special Condition Definition: To justify a variance, the difficulty must be due to unique circumstances involving the particular property. The unique circumstances must be related to a physical characteristic of the property itself, not to the owner's personal situation. This is because regardless of ownership, the variance will run with the land. Example: A creek bisecting a lot, a smaller buildable area than is seen on surrounding lots, specimen trees. Note: A cul-de-sac is a standard street layout in College Station. The shape of standard cul-de-sac lots are generally not special conditions. The parking requirements in the City's UDO do not distinguish between types of retail sales and services. The parking requirement for a new HEB grocery store, Walmart or Target is the same requirement as a new furniture, appliance or carpet store. A single tenant furniture company is interested in purchasing the subject property and has developed several conceptual plans; however, the current parking requirement is much more than necessary. Since so much of the retail sales area is filled with large pieces of furniture, the occupancy of the building will be much less than an average retail store. The unnecessary hardship (s) involved by meeting the provisions of the ordinance is/are: Hardship Definition: The inability to make reasonable use of the property in accord with the literal requirements of the law. The hardship must be a direct result of the special condition. Example: A hardship of a creek bisecting a lot could be the reduction of the buildable area on the lot, when compared to neighboring properties. The additional paved parking area that is not needed by this development will only add to the run-off near Carter's Creek which is high priority rural greenway. The following alternatives to the requested variance are possible: Modifying the parking requirements in the UDO to provide an alternate parking requirement for furniture, appliance and/or carpet stores. This variance will not be contrary to the public interest by virtue of the following facts: The proposed parking requirement of 1:350 sq. ft. is adequate given the demands of a furniture store. The applicant is proposing a condition on the parking variance that it be tied to the use of a furniture, appliance or carpet store.
