1. Background:
Minor Subdivision Appeal - #15-92
Z Meeting
on June 2, 1992 the Director of Planning approved the Fries
Enterprises Building Minor Subdivision request, which was to create
a 1.6 acre one lot Minor Subdivision. The purpose of the Minor
Subdivision is to create a legally subdivided lot under the
existing building at 1137 Riverside, as required by the Zoning
Code, due to a change in use at this location. The change of use
occurred with the location of Autobahn West, an auto repair shop,
in the existing building. Auto repair is a permitted use in the I-
G, General Industrial Zone, which is the zoning on that portion of
the property that includes the existing building.
In approving this Minor Subdivision, the Director of Planning
adopted the following findings:
A. The proposal meets the design criteria and standards of the
City for streets and utilities.
B. The lot in this subdivision fronts on a dedicated right-of-
way.
C. The lot is consistent with, and meets the requirements of
the I-G, General Industrial and B-P, Planned Business
Zoning Districts.
An appeal of the administrative approval of this Minor Subdivision
has been filed by the Michaels', owners of the B&M Roofing Site,
located to the west of the Fries Enterprises Building site. The
Minor Subdivision section of the City Code provides for appeals of
administrative decisions. Such appeals must be filed by a party -
in -interest within seven days of the decision. The appellants, as
adjacent property owners, are parties -in -interest and the appeal
was filed on June 3, the day after the approval decision was made.
The appeal is based on concerns regarding access and multiple curb
cuts on Riverside Avenue (see attached).
RECOMMENDATION
The Fries Enterprises Minor Subdivision meets the City's design
criteria and standards for streets and utilities and the lot fronts
on a dedicated right-of-way. All Zoning Code requirements for the
I-G and the B-P Zoning Districts have been met. Therefore, staff
recommends that the Planning and Zoning Board uphold the approval
of the Fries Enterprises Building Minor Subdivision, 015-92.
