~• • Page -2- The company is now proposing to cunstruct an approximately 8,762 square foot building addition (building #3) that will be connected to both existing buildings on the site. The south side setback is proposed to extend the side wall line of building #l. This would maintain the present nine (9) foot side setback. The side setback required by the City's current Zoning Ordinance (#1501) in Light Industrial Zones is ten (10) feet. The addition as proposed will also effectively cover the area dedicated for parking after the last addition. The applicants are requesting exceptions to the L. I. side setback requirements and to the on-premise parking requirements. Analysis• Zoninq Ordinance Section 11-6605 states: The term "special exception" shall mean a .deviation from the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance...which shall be granted...only when the Board [of Adjustments] finds that • such special exception will not adversely affect the value and use of adjacent or neighboring property or, be contrary to the best public interest. Among the exceptions which the Board is empowered to grant, the following two apply to this request: Section 11.605.2.B.3: A yard exception on corner lots. Section 11-605.2.C: To waive or reduce off-street parking and loading requirements when the Board finds the same are unnecessary for the proposed use of the building or structure for which the special exception request applies. As noted on Exhibit B, southern setback of the proposed addition is to match the nine (9) foot side setback of building #1. As the facility is situated on a corner property (South 16th & West "F" Streets), it is eligible to be considered for an exception of this type. Exhibit C also indicates that eight (8) parking spaces will be eliminated from this property if the addition is constructed as proposed. While Section 11-605 allows a special exception for on-premise parking requirements, the following factors must be considered.
