ZBA Application Package 92922

A Class (C) variance is required for the deficiency in the parking requirement. The parking variance can be granted for the following reasons: 1, Public transportation is available within walking distance to White Street, Park Avenue and Main Street. 2. The trend of working from home has reduced the need for vehicles and related parking. MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE A Class (C) variance is also required for exceeding the maximum permitted lot coverage. The Industrial zone requires a maximum permitted lot coverage of 75% while the application proposes a coverage of 90.8%. The lot coverage is directly related to the need for parking, which contributes to the increase in impervious coverage. The plan proposes a stormwater management system with underground infiltration of stormwater runoff. The proposed drainage system offsets or otherwise compensates for the increase in lot coverage CONCLUSION The proposed addition of two residential apartments is in character with the area in terms of residential use, prevailing setback and building height. The special reasons are consistent with the Municipal Land Use Law to allow the Zoning Board of Adjustment to grant the Use Variance, parking variance, and the maximum lot coverage variance. The variances can be granted without any substantial detriment to the public good, and without substantially impairing the zone plan or the zoning ordinance. 4 of 5
