STAFF COMMENTS:
The minimum required lot size in the C-2 (Large Scale Commercial) District is 50,000 square feet. Currently parcel 14-29-326-002 meets the minimum requirement, with an approximate size of 68,389 square feet and parcel 14-29-326-003 has an approximate lot size of 15,682 square feet and therefore does not currently meet the minimum requirement.
Each newly created parcel is required to meet the minimum lot size requirement of 50,000 square feet. In this instance, neither proposed parcel meets the minimum lot area requirement. Lot 1 (PIN 14-29-326-002) has a proposed lot size of 22,651 square feet and Lot 2 (PIN 14-29-326-003) has a proposed lot size of 43,996 square feet. Therefore a waiver is requested to allow two lots which are less than the required 50,000 square foot lot size.
In addition, please note that the current parcel boundaries incorporate a portion of the public right-of way and the proposed plat resolves that as well.
