PB 20-03 Central Avenue Redevelopment Area Zone (Signed Resolution)

relief can be justified under the (C)(2) criteria because the benefits of providing additional public parking for members of the community, as well as benefits of redeveloping this contaminated site and introducing proper stormwater managements, outweigh the detriments of less than required non-buildable area. With respect to the minimum landscape buffer variance, relief is only related to a buffer adjacent to residential uses. The relief sought is de minimis in that the Applicant is only seeking relief for a one foot or six inches deviation along several adjacent residential lots when measuring the setback to the lot line from the back of the curb. The Board finds that this relief can be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without substantial impairment of the intent or purpose of the Zoning Ordinance. Relative to the minimum unit size variance, it is justified because the bedroom units have been carefully designed to comfortably accommodate an eat-in kitchen, living area, bedroom, bathroom, closet storage and a washer/dryer. By sizing the units as proposed, the project can keep the building footprint small enough to accommodate the community parking, as well as including the first-floor commercial retail, the first-time commercial space is being included in the Central Avenue redevelopment and further enhancing the progress being made in the area. Accordingly, the Board finds that this relief can be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without substantial impairment of the intent or purpose of the Zoning Ordinance.
