Resolution No. 2025-38 Page 3 of 14 in reduction of building square footage and negative impacts to the feasibility of the site’s development. Additional impacts would include a reduction in drive-aisle lane widths, creation of onsite circulation hazards, and/or relocation of the drive- through lane. Approval of the variance enables a balanced site layout that accommodates safe vehicle movement, maintains adequate parking supply, and supports the successful redevelopment of this existing commercial center without adversely affecting the surrounding community. 3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The granting of this Variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The proposed Project will revitalize an underutilized and deteriorated commercial site, enhancing the visual quality and overall appearance of the area. The Project features modern architecture, upgraded landscaping, and neighborhood- serving commercial uses that will contribute positively to the community. The neighboring commercial and residential developments will not be affected by the reduced front-yard landscaped area. The proposed Project is meticulously designed to provide the safest fuel truck circulation route, ample space for drive aisles, and incorporates a site plan that minimizes disruptions for the neighboring residential properties to the east of the subject site. To achieve functional site design and efficient circulation, the Project also includes a lot line adjustment, resulting in a site area of approximately 32,459 square feet for 2745 W. McFadden Avenue and 69,221 square feet for 1001 S. Fairview Street. The site’s unique configuration and proximity to residential uses create physical constraints that justify the requested setback reductions. Granting this Variance will facilitate a well-planned and compatible redevelopment that promotes community reinvestment, economic growth, and improved neighborhood aesthetics, consistent with the intent of the zoning code and the City’s General Plan goals. 4. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the city. The approval of the proposed Project will be consistent with the General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (GC), which supports the development of highly visible and accessible shopping opportunities along arterial corridors. Additionally, this designation supports the development and continued operation of recreational, cultural, and entertainment
