Title
Approval of variance-Vaughn Street
Body
SUMMARY: Mr. Vipul Patel, the owner and developer of the property on Vaughn Street, is proposing the addition of two new housing structures within a pre-existing, non-conforming cluster housing development. With the addition of the two new structures, he is proposing the extension of an existing driveway along with a new driveway that will run perpendicular to the existing one. This would allow a “hammer” turn-a-round area. Per the Multi-family/Cluster Housing ordinance, a cul-de-sac is required but the City does allow “hammer” turn-a-rounds by the Crossville Regional Subdivision Regulations. Therefore, Mr. Patel is asking for a variance to the required cul-de-sac, as this is an existing cluster housing that currently does not have any turn-a-round available and the “hammer” style is allowed in the subdivisions.
The Planning Commission voted to approve the site plan contingent upon City Council approval of variance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the variance.
Recommended Action
NECESSARY PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Approve the variance
