MAC SH, LLC, is appealing to the Board of Adjustment under City Code
§§ 118-136 & 118-352 administrative determinations by the Planning
Director concerning the application by Palau Sunset Harbor, LLC for
Conditional Use approval for a 5-story mixed use structure consisting of
approximately 50 residential units and 13,056 +/- square feet of
commercial space, with mechanical parking lifts, located at 1201, 1225,
and 1237 20th Street, in the CD-2 Commercial Medium Intensity zoning
district. The appeal contends that: 1) The schematic diagrams submitted
showing a conventional parking alternative as required by §130-38 do not
meet the required setbacks of the Land Development Regulations (LDRs),
and the proposed off-street loading location is not in compliance with the
LDRs, both requiring variances, and therefore the use of mechanical
parking systems is not permitted; 2) Required notice was not properly
posted on the site 30 days prior to the scheduled February 28, 2012 public
hearing; and 3) The application was not complete 30 days prior to the
January 24, 2012 public hearing.
THIS CASE HAS BEEN CONTINUED TO THE JUNE 1, 2012 MEETING.
