RE: .CASPCA Renovation &:Expansion 21.7:Exception request :
Dear J,T:.Newberry'
I am writing to'request an exception from:section 21.7,;and by.extension,4.20.: Section 4.20(a) lists a 50' :
building setback on conventionall commercially zoned districts from any residentially zoned district.: TMP"
45-86 is:zoned.C-1 and the parcel to:the NW, TMP".45-86A,;is:zoned R-6. : :.
As you can see."on:the concept plan provided:with•the Special Use Permit application,the existing
CASPCA"facility violates this requirement in:one smell area: The proposed;additions also extend into that
50'setback,in two areas.:One is for a small "quiet:dog addition and one is for:the"Animal Control Officer :
salliport addition :Both of these additions need to be in the locations shown, as their relation to existing. ::
internal and external layout is imperative. The VDOT land acquisition resulted in an:oddlyshaped"parcel ; :.
with boundary lines that create awkward setback scenarios:
The Planning Commission action letter forSP200700044,datedDecember:21; 2007,includes approval of
a waiver from the"20' residential setback'. I don't:know if requirements have changed between then and
.
now,or what in Particular that waiver was in reference to but it seems this request:isin keeping with the
previous:approval. The required20' parking setback and buffer area will be maintained as shown:. :
•
could not find any particular findings that this request needs to address as the only findings listed in •
section 21..7 are for exception from the buffer requirement; if! have overlooked something, please let me
know:
:.Thank you in advance for your:.consideration of this.application. .
• . Very..truly.yours'.. : : . .. : . : • : ' '
