Petitioner seeks approval of a Developmental Standards Variance of Section 27.3.2 in
order to forego the installation of perimeter parking lot curbing.
The site is located at 3106 East Cannel Drive. The site is zoned R-l/Residence within
the State Highway 431/Keystone Avenue Overlay Zone.

In deciding whether or not the applicant has presented sufficient proof to permit the
granting of a variance of development standards, the Board shall determine in writing
that:
1. The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and
general welfare of the community;
The lack ofparking lot perimeter curbing on this site will not be injurious to the
public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because site
drainage control is being accomplished by alternative means, and the aesthetic
impact will be mitigated by a row of low shrubs along the parking lot perimeter.
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; and
It is the Department's opinion that the use and value of the area adjacent to the
property will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner by the lack of
parking lot perimeter curbing.
3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance will result in
practical difficulties in use of the property.
The strict application of the Zoning Ordinance will not result in practical
difficulties in the use of the property. The site is now and has been for several
years occupied by a church and utilized for religious purposes. The site would
continue to function in this ma1ll1er if perimeter curbing were required to be
installed.
The Plan Commission has approved an ADLS Amendment (Docket No. 53-02 ADLS
Amend) for this site with the condition that the drive alignment be revised to the satisfaction of
the Department of Engineering and the Department of Community Services.
The Department recommends favor,able consideration of this petition with the following
condition:
1) That the petitioner revise the drive alignment such that an opposing left turn
movement is established with Waterford Lane.
The petitioner will need to re-describe the two existing Tax Parcels into a single property.
before coming forward with a petition for the expansion onhe Special Use.
