BILL ESTES PRE-OWNED SUPERSTORE
06090013 V: Parking Lot Pole Light Height
I. Statement of Variance
The petitioner desires to maintain the existing 3D-foot tall parking lot lights and to
add additional lighting that matches the existing fixtures on the property. Section
23C.12(B) of the Zoning Ordinance limits parking lot poles to a "uniform height not
to exceed 24 feet".
II. Statement of Support
The Bill Estes Pre-Owned Facility is an existing business. While the building will be
razed to create a new showroom, the petitioner desires to retain portions of the
existing development. This includes the existing parking lot lights. These lights
exceed the maximum pole height that is currently required by the Ordinance. In
addition, as the petitioner is expanding the operation, additional lighting will be
required. To keep the lighting uniform, it is proposed that the new lights match
the existing, thus also exceeding the 24-foot maximum height.
