OTConnell City Clerk Building Dear Madam: ti. V, .This is in the matter of 1) the appeal of George Ostrand to establish a 30 foot building line on Westminster Street, and 2) a permit for a 34 car private off - street parking lot on property located on the west side of Westminster Street between vacated Rose Avenue and Geranium Avenue. The property is described as Lots 1 through 6, and the east one foot of Lot 7, Block 4, Westminster Addition, also the north one "half'of the vacated alley lying south of the above described property and all of vacated Rose Avenue lying north of the above described property. On September 1, 1960, the City Council reclassified a major part of this property from 4A" residence to "C" residence. The site is presently vacant, and the appli- cant proposes to develop it with two 17 unit apartment buildings, although at the time the petition to rezone this property was circulated, it was stated that this property would be developed with two 11 unit apartment buildings. This property has a frontage of 197.64 feet along Westminster Street and extends to a depth of 238 feet, resulting in an area of approximately 47,035 square feet. It should be pointed out that the northerly 33 feet of this site is still classified in a "B" residence district as it is the north one -half of the recently vacated Rose Avenue which portion was not reclassified on September 1, 1960. The south 10 feet is the north one -half of the recently vacated public alley. The applicant's plan indicates that the portion of the site classified "B" residence will be used for side yard area only. North and adjoining is a two - family residence which fronts on Westminster Street; east and across Westminster Street are recently constructed single - family resi- dences; south and adjoining is a two - family residence which fronts on Geranium Avenue;*west and adjoining is the Freeway right -of -way. The proposed development meets the required density and building ground coverage standards. The Traffic Engineer has approved the plan which meets the standards for this type of facility. The property under consideration consists of a number of lots that originally had their street frontage along Rose Avenue. This street is now vacated, and thus the property has frontage only along Westminster Street. It is therefore necessary to establish a building line set back from this street. Because a portion of this tract is classified "B" residence, the set back as required under Chapter 62 of the Zoning Code would be 47 feet. The applicant is requesting a set back of 30 feet which would be in keeping with the two - family residence adjoining to the north. The set back of 30 feet would provide for a more desirable development in terms of front and rear yard, as well as off - street parking area. The Board of Zoning considered these two matters at their regular meeting on March 16, 1961 and recommend 1) the granting of the appeal to establish a 30 foot C j Ostrand - page 2 set back from Westminster Street for the above described property, and 2) the granting of a permit for a 34 car private off- street parking lot on the above described property in accordance With plans approved on that date.
