Docket No. 10070012 V Section 6.04.03 Reduced front yard setback
The site is located at 14598 Oakridge Road on 11.04 acres and is zoned S2 /Single Family Residential.
Filed by Paul Reis of Krieg DeVault and Glen Ritchey of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

e 3 S x construct a new facility to house an existing use,
r z and legally establish reduced setbacks.
r Surrounding uses are primarily residential.
it -w 40-4-- o �'„1
Analysis: Our Lady of Mount Carmel operates a
i "a neighborhood med facility and office in an
1 w 1
d .P), existing house. They would like to move to a
facility designed for this u ose to be located at
I� f a Y tm p IP
4f' r the northwest corner of their site. The new
bu which would be brick to match the other
tea=
1 7 buildings on the campus, would have better
4, ',lc:- r0:
v t 1 t access to parking than the existing building, and
.i N would be more integrated with the rest of the
�a ..y�� 7 7 i,_1 o, campus.
As the campus, and the surrounding area have developed, 146 Street was widened and reconfigured to
accommodate the additional traffic. The setback along the right -of -way was consequently reduced, but
was considered grandfathered since no work was being done on the site at the time. Now that new
construction is proposed, the petitioner is requesting that the reduced setback be legally established. The
reduction will not have any effect on current landscaping, parking, or building locations.
The proposed building will lessen the impact of its use on adjacent residences because it will be more
centrally located within the campus, and is in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan.
Findings of Fact: Special Use Amendment
1. The premises in question is particularly physically suitable for the proposed Special Use
because: it is a continuation of an existing use, to be located in a purpose -built building within
the site.
2. The Special Use will not injuriously or adversely affect economic factors, such as
cost/benefit to the community and its anticipated effect on surrounding property values
because: it is a continuation of an existing use, and will be located farther from adjacent
residences.
3. The Special Use will be consistent with social/neighborhood factors, such as
compatibility with existing uses and those permitted under current zoning in the vicinity
of the premises under consideration and how the proposed Special Use will affect
neighborhood integrity because: it is a continuation of an existing use, and will be located
farther from adjacent residences.
4. The Special Use will not injuriously or adversely affect the adequacy and availability of
water, sewage and storm drainage facilities and police and fire protection because: it is a
continuation of an existing use, and will be located farther from adjacent residences.
5. The Special Use will not adversely affect vehicular and pedestrian traffic in and around
the premises upon which the Special Use is proposed because: it is a continuation of an
existing use, and will be located farther from adjacent residences.
6. The Board has reviewed the requirements of Ordinance Z-160, Section 21.03 (1 -26) as
they relate to this Special Use, and does not find that those criteria prevent the granting
of the Special Use: the proposed building complies with all criteria.
Findings of Fact: Reduction of required front yard
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals, and
general welfare of the community because: there will be no physical changes made to the site.
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: there will be no physical changes made to
the site.
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 expansion and reconfiguration of
l46 Street reduced the required front yard.
Recommendation:
The Dept. of Community Services recommends positive consideration of Docket Nos. 10060008
SUA and 10070012 V after all concernk have been addressed.
