Dear Jonathan,
It has been brought to my attention that, in the recent processing of
"Minor Plan Change" approvals in the Redevelopment Plan for the Industrial
Park, one point may have been overlooked. Namely: any relaxation of set-
back requirements which results in a set-back which becomes less than that
required by the City's Zoning Ordinance will, in fact, require a request
for a variance.
Specifically, this issue surfaces with respect to rear set back require-
s° ments. In a General Industrial zone, the City requires a 20' set-back.
The Redevelopment Plan requires 50' which we have reduced, on your parcel,
to 101 . When the time comes for you to plan that addition (to the rear
of your existing buildings) which would extend toward the rear property
line, you will need to seek a variance from the zoning ordinance.
(The City's side set back requirement is 151 . The Park's is 50' which
was reduced to 30' on your parcel. This remains well within the City's
requirement. )
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Sincerely,
. Penelope Kim
