Hovde, Staff Planner Report Date: March 4, 2009 Email: Ihovde(a)cstx.gov Meeting Date: March 13, 2009 For NORTHGATE PARKING LOT ON CHURCH STREET- DRB (09-00500028) Item: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on a request for a waiver to the Northgate District Sidewalk Standards and Street Tree requirements for the Northgate Restrooms project, located at 300 Church Street and generally located along Church Street to the north of the Northgate Promenade. Zoning District: NG-1 Core Northgate Location: 300 Church Street, located on the south side of Church Street to the north of the Northgate Promenade Applicant: Ed McDonald, P.E., City of College Station, Capital Projects Department Item Summary: The applicant is requesting a waiver to the sidewalk width and street tree requirements of the Northgate District. The Board is asked to consider relief from the sidewalk width standard of 10' along Church Street to allow for the inclusion of motorcycle parking facilities facing Church Street, in conjunction with the Northgate Restrooms project. Item Background: The Sidewalk Standards being discussed can be found in Section 5.6.B.8.b.2 of the Unified Development Ordinance, which requires a sidewalk existing on a site prior to development or redevelopment to be upgraded to meet current standards. Sidewalks are specified to be a minimum of 10' in width on Church Street. The Street Trees requirements standards being discussed can be found in Section 5.6.B.9.a.1 of the Unified Development Ordinance, which requires the installation of a minimum of 4-inch caliper trees every 25' on Church Street. Most of this block has already undergone redevelopment without widening the existing 5' sidewalk to the required 10' along Church Street, and therefore the widening of this approximately 55' section would be inconsistent with the remaining block totaling approximately 600' in length. Items for Review: The DRB has the authority, according to the Unified Development Ordinance, to approve such a waiver to the Sidewalk Standards and Street Trees where existing physical conditions prohibit the strict application of the ordinances.
