Page 2 of 4 Zoning Board of Adjustment Minutes of September 2, 1993 Staff realizes that in this particular section of town, the buildings are built on the property lines. If setback requirements for this building were enforced, it would appear out of character with the rest of the Main Street area. Staff, in reviewing this request, kept in consideration the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, Visions '89, and the proposed Bayfront Master Plan. In particular, the proposed Bayfront Master Plan places the highest priority on upgrading bayfront access corridors, specifically along West Main and San Jacinto Streets. Staff feels that special consideration should be given to the character and appearance of the building which will replace the old one. Staff met with Mr. Meza and agreed on several conditions that should be included as part of the special exception. In regards to the parking requirements, this area already has a lack of off street parking and Mr. Meza will not be creating a new situation. Based on the facts and considerations of this report, staff finds this request to satisfy Zoning Ordinance guidelines, and therefore, recommends that SE93- 006 be granted subject to the following conditions: · The front setback shall be reduced to zero. · The side setback, adjacent to the North 3rd Street right-of-way, shall be reduced to zero. No portion of the structure shall, however, encroach beyond the property line and onto the public right-of-way. · Off street parking requirements for customer and employees shall be waived. Company vehicles shall be parked on premise. · A rear setback of at least 45 feet shall be maintained. · The rear setback area shall be surfaced in accordance with the provisions of Zoning Ordinance Section 10-605.6 with driveway access being provided from the adjacent alley. There shall be no outside storage.
