Commission approves special permit at 809 N. Eucalyptus to allow reduced parking and rear setback for professional office
Summary
The commission approved a special permit and detailed site development plan for 809 North Eucalyptus Street to allow a professional office in a C-4 zone with a reduction in required parking and the rear-yard setback; applicant submitted a parking study and received 17 letters of support.
On July 17 the El Paso City Plan Commission approved a special permit and detailed site development plan for 809 North Eucalyptus Street to permit professional office use in C-4 commercial with a parking reduction and a reduced rear setback.
Jose Beltran of Planning and Inspections described the site as approximately 0.05 acres with an existing vacant structure. The applicant requested a rear setback reduction from the required 10 feet to 6 feet, 9 1/4 inches and a 100 percent parking reduction (three parking spaces required) on the site; three bicycle spaces will be provided. The site is within 1,000 feet of mass transit and a parking study submitted by the applicant identified 44 on-street parking spaces within 300 feet and an average availability of 21 spaces.
Beltran reported staff had received 17 letters of support from surrounding neighbors. Bruno Vasquez, the project's architect, said the team worked with city departments and confirmed angled on-street parking will be provided to serve three spaces consistent with existing conditions on the block.
With no public testimony at the hearing, the commission voted by voice to approve the special permit and binding site plan. The approval allows the professional office to proceed with the reduced rear setback and the agreed on-street angled parking configuration to meet parking requirements.
