Main Street and further <br />described as Lot 3; Block 39; Town of La Porte (see Exhibit A). <br /> <br />GC (General Commercial) <br /> <br />Mike and Debbie Sodaro, property owner. <br /> <br />A special exception to waive the off street parking requirements <br />of Zoning Ordinance Section 10-609. The exception is <br />requested under the provisions of Zoning Ordinance Section 11- <br />605.2.c. <br /> <br />The applicant plans to open a tea room, a type of small cafe, in <br />the building located at 317 West Main Street. This a permitted <br />G.c. use. The building contains approximately 1,000 square <br />feet of floor area. Under the terms of the Zoning Ordinance <br />Section 10-609, an eating establishment of this size is required <br />to have a minimum of 14 off street parking spaces. Due to the <br />manner in which the Main Street business district is developed, <br />it is not practically possible to develop off street parking. The <br />applicant is, therefore, requesting a special exception to Zoning <br />Ordinance parking requirements. <br /> <br />Zoning Ordinance Section 11-605.2 defines a special exception <br />as a specifically enumerated "deviation from the requirements <br />of the Zoning Ordinance." Section 11-605.2.c allows the Board <br />to consider "reduction or elimination of required parking". <br /> <br />The Zoning Ordinance also requires the Board to grant special <br />exceptions only: <br /> <br />· ''when...such exception will not adversely affect the value <br />or use of adjacent or neighboring property." <br />
