The materials received have been prepared by yourself and the!site plan and drainage plan are dated Pebruary 2, 1994, Revision February 23, 1994 C and the tt~pographical map is dated 2/1/94. We offer the following comments: 1. ~ !The subject property is zoned B-3 Highway Business for which self storage facilities ~re not a permitted use. Accordingly, a request for a conditional use permit has also bee~inifiated by you. The adjacent pamels to the north and east are also zoned B-3 Highway ~usiness, the parcels to the south and west are zoned R-i Urban Residential and ?ark. ~ o ~: '~The subject property is 50,000 square feet.in size.. The subject property is located in the Critical River Overlay District and as cted to a 30% impervious surface area which includes structures and pavement~ The proposal submitted appears to establish approximately a 90% impervious surface a~a. In accordance with City Code, Mr. Dubats has applied for a variance from this restriction. The variance must be: reviwed and cerdfiecl by the Commissioner of DNtL Building ~.leva¢on; City Code requires the finished floor elevation to be 18 Lnches above the center!ine of Ebony Street N.W. The proposed structure elevations meet or exceed the 18 inch r~uirement. ~i City Code requires 35 foot front yard, 10 foot side yard and 35 foot rear yard setbacks fbr smactures in the B-3 District. The proposed structures meet the front, rear and south sid~ setback requirements. The site is proposed to be deveToped with zero lot line setback off. the north side. In City Staffs opinion, this is reasonable because it provides for a uniform klistance between buildings that is corisistent with the storage facilities developed on Lots 1 ~nd 2. The variance to the side yard setback will be officially addressed along with the v~riance to the impervious surface area at the March 17 Board of Adjustment~ Off StreetiParkin_~ Spaces: City Code d~s riot address the mount of required parking for&elf s!orage facilities. However, the site plan proposes ample driveway and parking areas Ifor each unit of storage space. !
