PLAT -KING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMDER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 5 December 1984 1559-84 First Grand Avenue Liquors, Inc. Southeast Corner of County Road D and Old Highway 8 Approval of Special Use Permit for Off. -Sale Liquor Store Variance to Parking Setback 1. This property is an old service station site with multiple driveway access to County road D in the north and Old Highway 8 on the northwest. The applicant proposes to expand the existing 1,955 square foot structure with a 3,000 square foot addition to be occupied by an off -sale liquor store. Attached are copies of the proposed site development plan and a perspective indicating the proposed development to be done by Fred Thorne, developer and owner of the property. 2. You will recall the recently approved and adopted off -sale liquor ordinance allows land in the B-2, B-39 and Shopping Center district to be used for an off -sale liquor store if contained in a shopping center structure exceeding 40,000 square feet in area. A free standing liquor store such as the one proposed, requires a special use permit by the City Council. The property in question is zoned B-3 and the applicant is seeking approval of the special use permit. 3. The applicant is also seeking a variance to the 15 foot setback requirement for parking areas contiguous to a public right-of-way. You will notice on the site plan that the proposed dimension and variance sought is to reduce the setback to five (5) feet. Obviously, this is done because of the extremely small site, and the location of the existing structure on the lot. the parking required for the total structure which will be approximately 69000 square feet when completed, is 30 spaces. The site development design indicates accommodation for 32 spaces, and two more if the landscape triangle in front of the entrances is eliminated. Depending upon the use of the remainder of the building (approximately one-half) it is likely that at most times the 22 parking spaces along the southerly portion of the property will be adequate. The parallel parking spots indicated for the driveway along the northwest side of the site are not efficient parking spaces though it could be rationalized that these would be used less than the more efficient spaces on the south (perpendicular parking).
