New Appeals a. Appeal No.ZBA 0316-01 (16-12500001) New Action Mobile Industries,LLC,request a Variance to reduce the E .................................. The subject property is being described as Kelly Margaret Land,Block 10, Lot 1, located on McGloin Road,east of Bockholt Road,and no of Joe Mireur Road. Andrew Dimas, Development Services, read item "a"' into record as shown above. He presented several aerial views of the subject property. The purpose of this appeal is to request a variance to eliminate the required 25-foot zoning district buffer yard where an industrial use is redeveloping adjacent to a single- family district. The adjacent uses are either industrial or vacant agricultural lands.The property is different from the surrounding properties since it is the only industrial property adjacent to single-family properties that were part of a mass annexation in 1962. The requirement of the zoning buffer yard was not due to the applicant's own actions.The buffer yard requirement is a result of the adjacent properties in zoned 46 6"" at the time of annexation. Under today's Unified Development Code (UDC), newly annexed properties are initially zoned"FR7 Fa rrn Rural District rather than "RS-6" Single-Family. Had the adjacent property been zoned "FW' Farm Rural, the buffer yard would not have been required. Due to the difference in zoning districts, the Unified Development Code (UDC) requires a zoning district buffer yard. As per section 7.9.6.A a"Type E"buffer yard will be required. A"Type E"buffer yard consists of a minimum 2 ® foot wide buffer yard and a minimum of 50 points. He also informed the Board that of the I I public notices mailed, zero notices were returned neither in favor nor in opposition. Staff recommends approval of the variance request.
