Background Information:
In 2015, the City Council granted a Warrant to Schlotzky's Restaurant to allow a deviation from the building height requirement within the "T5 SmartCode" zoning designation on the property. The Warrant allowed the construction of a building less than two stories in height. This warrant has since expired as the building ceases to be used and occupied as a Schlotzky's Restaurant (See Section 3.c.ii of the attached Warrant).
The applicant is requesting this Alternative Compliance from the two-story building height requirement to use the existing one-story building and continue a restaurant use, Local Joe's Kitchen. A full analysis on the request may be found in the attached staff report.
