MISSOURI #300 PHOENIX AZ 85014 ZONING HISTORY: The subject property is a 7.14 acre C-3 zoned tract with an existing car dealership located at the intersection of Satellite Boulevard and Commerce Avenue. The adjacent tracts are C-3 with existing car dealerships. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS: The applicant is seeking approval of two variances. The first variance (ZVR2011-00015) is to allow a 10% increase for signage for a single elevation. The second variance (ZVR2011-00016) is to allow a 15% increase in total aggregate sign square footage for all elevations. The applicant’s request would increase their allowable signage from 200 sq. ft. per wall to 221.02 sq. ft. and increase the allowable aggregate sign square footage from 400 sq. ft. to 458.99 sq. ft. The applicant’s letter of intent states they combined two automotive enterprises and the increase in signage will allow awareness to customers and generate the revenue needed to support their business.

ZVR2011-00015 & ZVR2011-00016(MMS)

These applications were tabled at the March 8, 2011meeting. Should the Board consider approval of this request, staff would suggest the following conditions:

MOUNTAIN MAP NUMBER : R6054 249 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT : RESTAURANT VARIANCE REQUESTED : INCREASE GROUND SIGN AREA FROM 75 SQ. FT. TO 126 SQ. FT. COMMISSION DISTRICT : (3) BEAUDREAU APPLICANT: DENORRIS JAMES 2903 RAVENWOLFE WAY SNELLVILLE GA 30039 CONTACT: DENORRIS JAMES PHONE: 404.569.8754 OWNER: DENORRIS JAMES 4200 STONE MOUNTAIN HWY. LILBURN GA 30047 ZONING HISTORY: The subject property is a 2.379 acre C-2 zoned tract with an existing building located within the U. S. Highway 78 Corridor Overlay District.

The applicant is remodeling the building for a restaurant.

Should the Board consider approval of this request, staff would recommend the following conditions:

1. The applicant shall obtain all required permits within 30 days of the variance action and all construction shall be completed within 120 days of the issuance of a building permit.
