would effectively result in the creation of an unusable building <br />and would be a significant burden on the property owner. <br />Further, since other buildings along Eleventh and Bush Streets <br />do not comply with the setback standard, this building would <br />be inconsistent with the development pattern of the area. <br />Finally, by allowing the building to expand and maintain the <br />existing setback, it will assist in improving vehicular and <br />pedestrian circulation on the site. As a result, special <br />circumstances exist that warrant a variance. <br />2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and <br />enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. <br />The granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation <br />and enjoyment of substantial property rights. Allowing the <br />building to be constructed with a reduced setback will allow <br />the owner the ability to construct a larger, more functional <br />building on an underutilized parcel of land. The strict <br />application of the standards would result in an impact to the <br />internal circulation pattern of the site and would result in a <br />reduction in parking for OCSA, which would make the office <br />use infeasible at this location. Therefore, the granting of the <br />variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of <br />substantial property rights and will preserve the property <br />owner's right to develop on the site with a use that is allowed <br />in the zoning district and will assist in revitalizing the area, <br />which preserves the property owner's right to upgrade and <br />develop their property. <br />3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to <br />the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. <br />The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the <br />public or surrounding properties as the building and site <br />have been designed to comply with all applicable <br />development standards except for landscape setbacks. The <br />building expansion and related site improvements such as <br />new landscaping will enhance this property as well as the <br />surrounding properties. The proposed addition has been <br />designed to be compatible with the surrounding properties, <br />including the adjacent residential properties, through site <br />design and conditions of approval. The proposed project will <br />make a substantial capital investment in the site, thereby <br />enhancing this property and the surrounding properties. <br />Resolution No. 2017-28 <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />31 B-9 <br />
