PUBLIC HEARING BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA15-06, CHRIS CLARK, 2905 MUSTANG DRIVE The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA15-06 submitted by Chris Clark for property located at 2905 Mustang Drive, platted as Lot 1A, Block 1, � Mustang Addition. Section 43.E.3, Nonconforming Uses and Structures allows the Board of Zoning Adjustment to approve the remodeling and/or enlargement of a nonconforming use. The applicant requested a special exception allowing the existing apartment complex to remain as developed and recreate 18 apartment units in an existing apartment complex as shown on the plot plan. Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested special exception. Specifically, the apartment complex, developed in the mid-1970's, was in complete compliance with zoning ordinance 70-10 in effect at that time. Mr. Stombaugh stated that when the complex was originally developed there were (18) previously accounted for units that were conjoined to create larger living units that were in high demand at that time and has since diminished. The applicant proposed to "unmerge" them bringing back the original unit count. Mr. Stombaugh went on to explain that in an effort to reduce the level of non-conformity relative to the current zoning ordinance, the applicant had addressed areas that were physically possible to address, specifically, the addition of landscaped islands throughout the parking area (which were not required relative to Ord. 70-10) and the inclusion of more property for additional parking that contained 56 parking spaces, 36 � spaces of which were required (2 spaces per unit) for the newly recreated units. No "new" construction was proposed other than the creation of the additional parking area. 2 Board of Zonirg Adj &3/5 With no questions for Mr. Stombaugh, Chris Clark of 3929 Willowbend Drive, The Colony, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; he gave a brief presentation to the Board and � requested favorable consideration of the request and offered to answer any questions of the Board. Robert Rainwater asked what the motivation was behind disjoining the units. Mr. Clark stated, that larger units had less of a market demand and they took longer to lease. Discussion was held with Mr. Stombaugh relative to the property being non-conforming and clarification as to why they were before the Board. With no further questions for Mr. Clark and Mr. Stombaugh and no additional speakers, Robert Rainwater made a motion to close the public hearing.
