FROM. PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJEC L VAR!ANCE APPLlCA nON v -66-6 - 250 WES T COLORADO BOULEVARD.
APPLlCA liON
The application i~ filed in the name of Norman L. Scheinman, ~equesting a variance
to construct a morket. restaurant and two shops, totaling 7800 square feet in area
with forty (40) automobile parking spaces.
SUBJECT PROPERTY - SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING
The subject property is a vacant parcel in Zone R-3, formerly used for service
station purposes. The adjacent properties to the east and south are also zoned
R-3 and developed with 0 mote! and a church. Praperty to the west is zoned
R-l and i~ port of the Turf Club complex. To the north, properties are in Zone
R-3 and R-l with a mixture of uses. Immediately north is a vacant lot and an
apartment development. Northerly of these two sites are single,-family dwellings,
duplexes and a nursery use.
ANAL YSIS
In order to qua! ify far a variance 0 property must meet four conditions:
1, That there ore exceptional or extroordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the property involved, or to the intended use of the property,
that do not apply generally to the property or class of use in the same
zone or vicinity.
2. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to
the public health or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements
in such zone or vicinity.
3. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant possessed by ather property
in the same zone and vicinity.
4. That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive
general plan.
- 1 -
~I
t,
.
.
.
"
.
.
Of the four conditions enumerated above, Number Three presents the strongest
point upon which basis for a variance may be founded. Several variances have
been granted on property surrounding the sHe which have generally, by such action,
established the inapplicability of pure R-3 zoning. Motel, restaurant uses, and
Turf Club offices have been permitted on adjacent property similarly zoned.
The subject pr."perty has, in the past, had variances to allow operation of a
restaurant and service. station (See attached Resolution No. 2665).
,
The irregular shape of the pal.cel would present some'problems of development
which ore !'lot normally associated with other R-3 property in the City.
Development of compatible. structures in this location with surrounding uses could
be achieved through proper architectural control and trea,tment. ' The proposed
qevelopment has deficiencies in parking, walls and landscaping which would
have to be correcTed or modified before approval could be granted.
A! though general agreement has been reached in the past that the property
required. some zoning rel1ef, the form ,such variance should toke should be
closely evoluated. The uses aHowed in the vicinity have predominately been
service type c.riented uses. It con also be argued that motels ore related ,to
the basic R-J zoning because of their residentiol nature.
The. Staff is of the opinion, that the proposal doe.s not meet the requirement
thot the variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan,
Furthermore, the proposed uses may be moterially detrimental to. the. welfare
of the commun ity.
Central area studies and other general planning studies have never designoted
property in the vicinity for general retail commercial use. Service stations
which could be considered retail commercial are allowed in the zone, subject
to issuonce.oFa conditional use permit. If the proposed facilities were allowed
it would constitute a departure from .the concept of present general plan think-
ing. The City has experienced a rapid growth of convenience facilities
throughout the city at a time when it is attempting to revitalize its central
area. Many statements declaring the adequate amount of conv,enience commercial
zoning to serve the needs of the community are a matter of reco.rd. To grant
convenience comm.ercial uses in this location would odd another such.t1evelopment
which, in the opinion of the Staff, will be. detrimental to the overall commercial
balonce'and welfare of the community.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Department recommends thot the variance be denied without
prejudice.
If the Planning Commission should determine otherwise, then it is recommended

that revised p)ot plans be submitted showing compliance with all the
requirements I~stab! ished for the zone. under which the proposed use
would be permitted. Traffic, water and public .impravements requirements sholl
conform ,to the recommendations of the Water and Public Works Departments.
