*11" W 6 October 1982 PLANNING REPORT CASE NUMBER: 1399-82 APPLICANT: votel Realty, Inc. LOCATION. Southwest Corner of McCarron f s Boulevard North and Rice Street AcTlol REQUESTED.: Approval of variances to Setback Requirements for Building, Parking, and Sign PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1 The property in question was formerly operated as the La., Senorita Re sta1lraIlt o prior to that a 3,2 bar and restaurant, The applicant proposes to substantially remodel the interior of the building and the exterior and convert the property to a real estate office, 2. The existing structure is not conforming in that it is 25 feet from the north property line and the parking on the east side extends into the public right -of -way whereas a 15 foot setback is required, The pp licant has prepared a plan which is attached on the yellow sheets indicatin existing parking arrangements and the proposed,. Mucci of the P roblem is created by the fact that an additional 17 feet of right -of -way was taken for the expansion of Rice Street leaving portions of the existing arkin g g within the public right -of -ways The staff has worked with the applicant in the attempt to come up with a reasonable parking arrangement and elimination of some of the curb cuts to make the site more workable and attractive, we suggest that the proposed solution achieves that objective. 3* The ya(.ppli�cant seeks a variance to the setback to the building on the the building is already there, it mould a ear; that o si t ' v mu gp p x e consideration to this request is appropriate, 4, we suggest that approval be considered for the variances to the parking setback in accordance with the proposed s-.te plan. This would involve a variance to allow parking up to the property lute on the north side, and within the public right -of -way to the extent that the parking lot be no greater than 40 feet distance from the front of the building. The latter would be on the condition that the new driveways be constructed with concrete curb and gutter and asphalt as iridlcated on the proposed site plan. Though this parking arrangement does- not conform to the required 15 foot setback, it certainly reduces the congestion at the corner, makes the site more attractive, and reduces the access drives to two rather than the continuous curb cuts that exist on the site.
