width between parcels from 5 feet to 1.73 feet and eliminate all landscaping for a certain parcel of land generally located at 7101 US Highway 19 in the “B-1” General Commercial Zoning District for the redevelopment of an existing site and building for retail uses. The adaptive reuse of the existing building and site for retail use from the previous furniture sales use has created the need to request variances and waivers due to changing Code requirements for the retail use. The proposed plan illustrates what the applicant believes is the best balance to achieve the minimum requests that could be allowed to permit the project to proceed. Subject to any matters that may be discussed at the hearing, staff has not identified any inconsistencies with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposal should have no adverse effect on adopted levels of service for City infrastructure.

After review of Case No. BOA 2010-23, the variance criteria established in Section 18-1504.3 of the Land Development Code, and the corresponding Findings of Fact identified in Section III, A-F of the staff report, I move to:

Furthermore, after review of Case No. MS 2010-48, the waiver criteria of Section 18-1512.10(B) and the corresponding Findings of Fact identified in Section IV, A-E of the staff report, I move to:
