Taft Hill Village
Alternative Compliance Request
Section 3.6.2(G)
Reason for the Request
This section states that Lots having a front or rear lot line that abuts an arterial street shall have
a minimum depth of 150 feet. Lot 1 of this development, which is the lot that does not meet the
standard of this subsection, was built in 1944 and pre dates the Land Use Code.
Justifications
The Land Use Code states that: Upon request by the applicant, the decision-maker may approve
an alternative lot plan that does not meet the standard of this subsection if the alternative plan
includes additional buffering or screening that will, in the judgment of the decision maker,
protect such lots from noise, light and other potential negative impacts of the arterial street as
well as, or better than, a plan which complies with the standard of this subsection.
1. The home on Lot 1 is an existing condition.
2. Enhanced landscaping, including planting beds, evergreen trees and street trees, have
been provided along the arterial (Taft Hill Road) to help buffer the property from noise
and views out into the street.
In conclusion, the proposed lot configuration functions as well or better than a configuration
that would meet the standards as written.
