Commission grants 2.5-foot lot-width variance for West 28th Street parcel
Summary
The commission approved planning variance PV26-13, a 2.5-foot lot-width variance to allow creation of a lot 47.5 feet wide rather than the 50-foot minimum; approval conditioned on City Council's expected rezoning approval.
The Bryan Planning and Zoning Commission approved planning variance PV26-13 for a West 28th Street parcel, granting a 2.5-foot variance from the 50-foot minimum lot width to allow a proposed lot 47.5 feet wide. Staff presented the variance as part of a two-item application tied to rezoning RZ26-10; the parcel is roughly 460 feet deep with lot area roughly 330–335% above the zoning minimums, and staff recommended approval conditioned on the associated rezoning being approved by City Council.
During the presentation staff emphasized the geometric constraints and noted the required buffer from industrial zoning (100 feet) effectively prevents industrial redevelopment on the narrow parcel. Committee member S3 moved to approve the variance adopting the staff report and analysis as the commission's findings; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously. Staff noted the final plat cannot be filed until the rezoning and variance are both approved.
