Building Setbacks – Meets Requirements Building setbacks in the GB District are 50 feet for the front yard, 20 feet for the side yard with a minimum of 40 feet total for both side yards, and 20 feet for the rear yard. The proposed building is unique as it has frontage on three (3) streets (I-694, I-35W and Gateway Boulevard). In addition, the Subject Parcel is located on the corner of Round Lake Road and Gateway Boulevard. City Code defines the front yard for corner lots as the shortest street lot line shall be the front lot line. The shortest street lot line is located adjacent to Gateway Boulevard. The proposed building has a minimum front yard setback of 74.8 feet from Gateway Boulevard. Proposed building has a minimum side yard setback from Lot 2 of approximately 32.5 feet and has secondary side yard setback to Lot 2 of 127.9 feet for a total of 160.4 feet. The minimum rear setback is 94.4 feet. E. Parking Setbacks - Flexibility Requested The GB district requires a 50 foot setback for parking areas from public streets and ROW. The applicant was requesting a 30 foot parking lot setback from Gateway Boulevard ROW and due to the required ROW dedication the Applicant is now requesting a 20 foot setback to the parking area on the north side of the subject parcel. According to the Site Plan the proposed parking areas are located approximately 50 feet from the back of curb of Gateway Boulevard. However, several properties along Round Lake Road and Gateway Boulevard have similar or greater reduction in parking lot setbacks. F. Building Height – Flexibility Requested Section 1305.04 of the City Code defines building height as “the vertical distance from the average elevation of the grade along a face of a building to the highest point of the roof surface of flat roofs, the deck line of mansard roofs, or the average height between the eaves and the highest ridge of gable, hip, or gambrel roofs.” These measurements are illustrated in the drawing below. Maximum height in the GB district is 35 feet. The Applicant is proposing a facility with maximum interior clear height of 32 feet. As it directly relates to the interior clear height, the proposed maximum building height measured from the finished floor elevation is 40 feet. However, special requirements for the GB district state that in order to accomplish the intensity and scale of development consistent with the defined purpose of the GB District, multi-story buildings will be encouraged.
