March 27, 1992
TO: Board of Adjustment Member
FROM: Dale Jackson, Chief Building Official
SUBJECT: Agenda Item Number 5
PUBLIC ~G:
Consider a request for variance from Sections 31-1.3 of the City's Zoning Ordinance which
concerns the requirements for concrete paving surfaces.
This variance is being requested by Ms. Joy Onstott for the property located at 420 W. Bethel
Road.
EXPLANATION:
Ms. Onstott wishes to open a florist shop in a structure that was originally constructed
for residential use. Eight (8) parking spaces would be required for this use as approved by
Special Use Permit. The City's Zoning Ordinance would also require that the parking surfaces
be concrete paving.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Currently the site plan approved by the Spedal Use permit would provide for eight (8) off-
street parking spaces off of Mitchell Street which is an asphalt and gravel roadway substandard
to the City's roadway requirements. Since Ms. Oastott is requesting only a dolay until the
district is developed, staff has no objection but would recommend a m~x'imlzal rime llmlt to be
set for this paving, not to exceed 24 months.
