Gas station rear setback variance (VAR-26-3)
Description
Request to cut the rear-yard setback from 10 feet to 5 feet to rebuild a fire-destroyed gas station with better vehicle and pedestrian flow. Approved by the Board despite staff and Planning Commission recommendations to deny.
Impact summary
The new building sits 5 feet from the rear property line next to a storage facility, requiring two-hour fire-rated walls, in exchange for safer turning space and sidewalks out front.
