Section 1. BACKGROUND.
1.01 DJR Architects on behalf of Tom Miller are is requesting a Final Development Plan with
Variances and a Conditional Use Permit to tear down the existing two office buildings on these
sites and build two buildings containing retail space that would total 18,000 square feet, and a
114-unit, 4-story apartment building at 3101-3201 West 69th Street.
1.02 The following Variances are requested:
1. Retail building setback variances from 35 feet to 20 feet from York Avenue and 69th
Street.
2. Apartment building setback variances from 54 feet to 35 feet from York Avenue and
69th Street.
3. A parking lot setback variance from 20 to 5 feet.
4. A building height variance from 50 feet to 54 feet for the apartments.
1.03 On May 28, 2008, the Planning Commission (4-3-1) recommended approval of the requests.
• 1.04 On June 5, 2008, the Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously approved the variance. Staff
appealed the decision in order for the City Council to take final action on the Final
Development Plan, Conditional Use Permit and Variance.
Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 Approval is based on the following findings:
1. The proposal would meet the required standards and ordinances for a final
development plan.
2. The proposal would meet the required standards for a variance, because:
a. The proposed use of the property is reasonable; as it would encourage ground
level retail and service uses that create an active pedestrian and streetscape
environment.
b. The intent of the ordinance is to encourage retail uses to create an active
pedestrian and streetscape environment that can provide future pedestrian
connections.
c. The building height and setback variances for the apartments are now required
because of the recent Zoning Ordinance amendment that now requires the building
• height to be measured from existing grade.

• d. The proposed height and setbacks have not changed from the original plans.
However the building is now over 50 tall when measuring from existing grade rather
than proposed grade, therefore, the setback requirement increases from 35 feet to
54 feet.
e. If the project were built as a traditional strip mall with parking in front of the building,
all setbacks would be met.
f. The proposal enhances the entrance to the street.
g. The variance for the parking setback would provide parking close to the store front
entrances, similar to parallel or on-street parking in front of stores.
