Background Information:
This request is running concurrently with a zoning change from Heavy Commercial “HC” to Commercial “CM” (ZC-24-01). The zone change necessitates an alternative compliance to meet the build-to requirements of Commercial districts. This request is to position the building farther from the street behind easements along both frontages. A site plan has been submitted with the application showing intent to install bicycle/ pedestrian amenities and meet other staff-proposed conditions.
