Condition To Be Modified:                     

 

2.         To the owner's agreement to abide by the following:

 

a.         To the site plan received by the Department of Environment and Community Development on July 6, 1993.  Said site plan is conceptual only and must meet or exceed the requirements of the Zoning Resolution and these conditions prior to the approval of a Land Disturbance Permit. In the event the Recommended Conditions of Zoning cause the approved site plan to be substantially different, the applicant shall be required to complete the concept review procedure prior to application for a Land Disturbance Permit. Unless otherwise noted herein, compliance with all conditions shall be in place prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy.

 

The subject site is a 26.9 acre tract of land located on the eastern side of Buffington Road and the northern side of Spur 14/South Fulton Parkway, zoned M-1A (Light Industrial) pursuant to Z93-062 SFC and approved for the development of an Industrial Park.

 

The applicant is seeking the modification of zoning condition 2.a. to revise the approved site plan to indicate 9 out-parcels.  The applicant indicated that the creation of the proposed out-parcels is necessary in order to satisfy the needs of certain tenants of the development who wish to purchase the buildings which they occupy.  The applicant further noted that the proposed site plan change will not change the access or density of the site. 

 

Staff has reviewed the proposed modification of zoning condition 2.a. and notes that the creation of out-parcels will not impact adjacent or nearby properties.  Staff further notes that the site is already developed and the applicant is not seeking any variances to the required buffers or building setbacks.  At the Board of Commissioners meeting held on November 1, 2006, the Board voted to hold the subject petition for 30 days to allow the applicant and Owens Partners, L. P., owner of a portion of the overall development, to resolve outstanding issues.  On December 6, 2006 the Board of Commissioners deferred the petition for an additional 60 days.  Since that time the applicant has requested that the petition be withdrawn, and Staff supports the withdrawal request.

 

CONCLUSION:

 

Should the Board of Commissioners approve this petition, the Recommended Conditions should be revised to read as follows:

 

Revised Condition:                      

 

2.         To the owner's agreement to abide by the following:

 

a.         To the site plan received by the Department of Environment and Community Development on July 6, 1993 September 26, 2006.  Said site plan is conceptual only and must meet or exceed the requirements of the Zoning Resolution and these conditions prior to the approval of a Land Disturbance Permit. In the event the Recommended Conditions of Zoning cause the approved site plan to be substantially different, the applicant shall be required to complete the concept review procedure prior to application for a Land Disturbance Permit. Unless otherwise noted herein, compliance with all conditions shall be in place prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy.
