BZA approves setback and parking reductions for CP Property Group; approval contingent on cross-access agreement
Summary
The board approved two petitions allowing reduced side-yard setbacks and a two-space reduction in parking for a commercial building at 785 North Superior Drive, subject to a parking and access agreement with the neighboring property.
The Crown Point BZA approved two related petitions (25-37 and 25-38) for CP Property Group LLC to reduce a side-yard setback to accommodate a shared drive aisle and to reduce the required parking from 51 spaces to 49 spaces at 785 North Superior Drive.
Attorney Jim Weiser and developer representative Andrea Ragona described the request as necessary to construct a final building consistent with the quality and layout of the existing development. Planning staff told the board the proposed layout matches neighboring developments and recommended approval, conditioned on execution and filing of a parking and access (cross-access) agreement with the adjacent property to the north.
Board members discussed precedent and on-site circulation; one member observed that similar continuous drive aisles exist on neighboring properties and that the cross-access agreement solves the stated parking shortfall. The board voted unanimously to approve both petitions; staff will require the parking and access agreement before final permit approval.
