Title

942-963 Rise Lane and 969-979 N Fair Oaks Avenue (District 12): Consideration of an alteration to approved conditional uses in the Commercial Corridor-Transitional (CC-T) District for a planned multi-use site containing a mixed-use building and multi-family dwellings to allow alternative screening along the boundary of the complex adjacent to residentially zoned properties.

Body

The applicants are requesting approval of a modification of the district boundary screening requirements in MGO Section 28.142(8), Screening Along District Boundaries (highlighted): "Screening shall be provided along side and rear property boundaries between commercial, mixed-use or industrial districts and residential districts. Screening shall consist of a solid wall, solid fence, or hedge with year-round foliage, between six (6) and eight (8) feet in height, except that within the front yard setback area, screening shall not exceed four (4) feet in height. Height of screening shall be measured from natural or approved grade. Berms and retaining walls shall not be used to increase grade relative to screening height. For conditional uses, the Plan Commission may modify these requirements."
