Home My WebLink AboutItem III PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT OCTOBER 2,2018 ITEM III: ACCESS CONTROL VARIANCE FOR REDUCED LATERAL CLEARANCE AT 101 W. SNELL ROAD *This staff report has been revised on September 27, 2018 after further staff review* GENERAL INFORMATION Owner/Applicant: Mathfab LLC Action Requested: The petitioner is requesting an access control variance to permit the following: 1. Reduced lateral clearance from W. Snell Road to 40 feet where code requires a minimum of 75 feet. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: The Access Control Ordinance, Section 25-104.1(1) of the Municipal Code. Property Location and Background Information: The subject area consists of one parcel, approximately 4.4 acres in size, located on the south side of W. Snell Road,west of N. Main Street. The site includes two industrial/light manufacturing buildings and associated parking areas.The surrounding area consists of commercial,industrial, and residential land uses. The 10 and 20 Year Comprehensive Land Use Plans both recommend industrial uses for the subject site.

West Commercial SMU Comprehensive Plan Land Use Recommendation Land Use 10 Year&20 Year Land Use Recommendation Industrial ANALYSIS In August 2015, Planning staff was made aware that additional parking stalls had been added to the subject site without prior permit approval. The site has two driveway accesses from W. Snell Road. The eastern driveway also provides access to the neighboring commercial property to the east. The additional parking stalls accessed from the eastern driveway result in a 40' lateral clearance from W. Snell Road, where code requires a 75' lateral clearance. The applicant states that the variance is necessary as they have limited options for providing the needed additional stalls for employees. In this particular case, staff does not see the requested reduction as a major issue as most commercial/industrial properties in the vicinity have nonconforming lateral clearances, including the adjacent property to the east with shared access (approximately 47' lateral clearance). However, staff is recommending that the northernmost stall be removed to match the lateral clearance of the shared parking area to the east. The Department of Public Works has reviewed the proposal and noted that the lateral clearance should match the shared parking area to the east to prevent further access concerns related to truck movements. Public Works also noted that the new parking areas must meet collect and convey requirements for stormwater runoff. RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS Staff recommends approval of the access control variance to permit reduced lateral clearance from W. Snell Road with the following conditions: 1. Northernmost parking stall removed to match lateral clearance of existing shared parking area to the east. 2. Stormwater collect and convey plans be submitted and approved to meet City stormwater requirements.
