Docket No.: 17010014 V
Parkwood Crossing Amenity Building Height Variance
Petitioner: Strategic Capital Partners, its successors and assigns
FINDINGS OF FACT - DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and
general welfare of the community because:
The height of the proposed amenity building is consistent and compatible with the taller office
buildings that surround it and there is a significant landscape buffer with mounding and mature
th
evergreen trees south of the proposed amenity building along the north side of 96 Street.
2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be
affected in a substantially adverse manner because:
The height of the proposed amenity building is consistent and compatible with the taller office
buildings that surround it and there is a significant landscape buffer with mounding and mature
th
evergreen trees south of the proposed amenity building along the north side of 96 .
3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in
practical difficulties in the use of the property because:
The proposed amenity building has been designed to be a height that is consistent and
compatible with the taller office buildings that surround it and to provide the internal floor
plans on the first and second stories to accommodate the proposed function of the building.
The amenity building is very well designed and should be an asset to the Parkwood Crossing
Office Complex. Further, there is a significant landscape buffer with mounding and mature
th
evergreen trees south of the proposed amenity building along the north side of 96 Street that
th
will buffer the view of the amenity building from 96 Street. Absent the granting of the
requested variance, the Applicant will not be able to construct the building for its intended
purpose and full potential.
