Petitioner withdraws parking‑variance request for 52–54 South Broadway

The Board of Zoning Appeals voted to remove a petitioner’s request for a parking variance from its agenda for the property listed as 52‑08‑27‑302‑117, commonly known as 52 through 54 South Broadway. A board member moved to withdraw the item and the board approved the motion.

A board member said the petitioner had emailed that he wanted the application removed because the building had been used as apartments before the ordinance date and therefore is grandfathered and does not need the variance. As one member summarized during the discussion, "He had just he sent an email stating that, he'd like to have it removed from the agenda that he said we do not need to have the variance granted as the building is grandfathered to not needing 2 parking spots since it was being used as apartments before the date of the ordinance." The board accepted the withdrawal; a member noted that "if they later on find out that they need to come back they'll have to reapply."

The withdrawal means the board took no formal action on the parking‑variance request itself; should the petitioner later determine a variance is required, the petitioner must refile the application and return the matter to a future meeting.
