Variance Request by the Guardian Angels Foundation Rick Breezee, the Building and Zoning Administrator, indicated that the Guardian Angels Foundation is in the process of getting approval to construct a 35 unit apartment building adjacent to their existing high-rise facility located at 400 Evans Avenue. Rick Breezee further indicated that because this is going to be used as an apartment type facility, the present zoning ordinance requires that all multi~familytype structures be supplied with one enclosed and one unenclosed parking stall for each unit in the structure. Ms. Carol Mills, the Administrator for the Guardian Angels Foundation Nursing Home indicated that she is requesting a variance to the required number of enclosed parking stalls that is needed for multi-family housing. Ms. Mills indicated that the need for parking spaces diminishes as the building matures. Ms. Mills further indicated that when the present high rise structure was built approximately six years ago, the Planning Commission and City Council both granted a variance to the requirement for enclosed parking stalls. Commissioner Temple questioned how many proposed parking stalls would be used in the proposed apartment. Ms. Mills indicated that they were proposing to put no enclosed parking stalls in the building. Ms. Mills indicated that they have 23 cars out of 63 apartments in their existing building. Carol Mills indicated that in the new structure to be built, an enclosed walkway between the two structures would be provided with a grocery store for the essentials needed for the residents. Ms. Mills further indicated that the high rise would be within distance of the new shopping center. COMMISSIONER FUCHS MOVED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE VARIANCE TO THE REQUIRED ENCLOSED PARKING STALLS REQUESTED BY THE GUARDIAN ANGELS FOUNDATION FOR THE NEW THIRTY-SIX UNIT APARTMENT BUILDING TO BE CONSTRUCTED.
