6~D ~ REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 7-26-93 ITEM NO.: p... I Department Approval: 1)0U Manager Reviewed: ~ Agenda Section: Reports and Recommendations Item Description: Rosedale Amoco request for a front yard setback variance at 2441 N. Fairview Avenue. Backaround: 1. Rosedale Amoco is proposing to add a 32 foot by 50 foot canopy over their fuel pump islands at their site at 2441 N. Fairview Avenue (northwest quadrant of County Road B-2 and Fairview) . The property is zoned I-1 Light Industrial and the minimum front yard setback in this district is 40 feet. The Roseville City code applies setbacks to canopies in the same manner as principal structures. 2. The site plan in the attached planning report indicates that the east edge of the canopy overhang would be 27 feet from the existing property line, requiring a 13 foot front yard setback variance. Past practice has been to recognize the customer convenience of canopies during City reviews of such applications and to be flexible when considering setback requirements on'existing sites. 3. The canopy structure itself is setback from the intersection of County Road B-2 and Fairview and with its 14 foot minimum clear height, will not pose any visibility obstructions for traffic at that intersection. 4. The Planning Cpmmission, at its July 14, 1993 meeting, unanimously recommended approval of Rosedale Amoco's request for a 13 foot front yard setback variance for the 'motor fuel pump island canopy at 2441 N. Fairview Avenue subject to the appropriate right-of-way being dedicated on the site. Alternatives: 1. Deny the proposed variance based on the finding that the proposal is not consistent with the standards of the Roseville zoning ordinance or with surrounding property development. 2. Approve the proposed variance based on the finding that the proposal would be consistent with the City's zoning code and would not be detrimental to the area.
