Appeal of an “Approval with conditions” recommendation. The applicant proposes to re-purpose an existing tavern into a retail sales and service space (including but not limited to restaurants) with 6-10 tenants, expand the building at the southeast corner, add a partial second floor, add ground level and second floor patios connected via an external stairway, and provide a loading space. Two Adjustments are requested to:

1.         reduce the minimum 10-foot building setback to 6 feet, and to waive the L3 landscaping buffer for the residential-abutting site to the south; and

2.         reduce the residential-abutting setbacks for a loading space from 5 feet with perimeter landscaping to the L4 standard to 0 feet, to waive the perimeter landscape requirement, and to allow the northernmost 4 feet of the loading space to be located between the building and the street (NW 28th Avenue).
