Petitioner seeks approval of a Development Standards Variance of Section 14.4.1:
Maximum Height in order to construct two (2) rooftop metal panel screen walls to a
height of forty (40) feet.
The site is located at 300 West 103rd Street. The site is zoned B-1/Business; B-
3/Business; and B-6/Business.
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 increased height of the addition will not be injurious to the public
health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because the
building is set back from the adjoining residential properties a distance
sufficient to preserve their privacy. Furthermore, the mechanical areas are
not occupied areas of the building.
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 increased height of the rooftop metal panel screen walls.
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 has for several years and
would continue to function adequately with a building that meets the
maximum height standards for the B-3/Business District.
This Item is also the subject of an ADLS petition (Docket No. 45-02 DP
Amend/ADLS Amend) before the Plan Commission. The Plan Commission Special
Study Committee is currently considering this petition.
The Department recommends favorable consideration of this petition conditioned
upon Plan Commission approval of Docket No. 45-02 DP Amend/ADLS Amend.
