1. Front building setback variance from 74 feet to 52 feet. (A 22-foot variance.)

8. Minimum tract area variance from 10 acres to 2 acres (An 8 acre variance.)
9. A parking stall variance from 393 stalls to 373 stalls. (A 20-stall variance.)
1.02 The specific proposal is to tear down the existing two-story, 26,000 square foot office building
• to build a 75,017 square foot, four-story medical office building with a five-level attached
parking ramp.
1.03 On July 30, 2008, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Final Development
Plan and Variances.
1.04 On August 7,2008, the Zoning Board of Appeals approved the variances. Staff appealed the
decision in order for the City Council to take final action on the Final Development Plan and
Variance.
Section 2. FINDINGS .
2.01 With the exception of the variances, the proposal would meet the required standards and
ordinances for a Final Development Plan.
2.02 The proposal meets the required standards for a variance,because:
1. There is a unique hardship to the property caused by the shape and limited depth of
the lot,especially the western half of the site.
2. The variance would meet the intent of the ordinance because the building is reasonably
sized given the allowed FAR in the RMD district is 1.0. The proposed FAR is .85.
3. The height of the ramp and building are generally consistent with buildings and ramps
in the area.
4. The site's location adjacent to Crosstown Highway 62.

5. The high water table prevents the parking from being constructed under ground.
6. The site is an extension of the RMD District to the east.
7. The site would have adequate parking.

provided.
