Staff recommends the following actions on the required waivers from the Design Guidelines:
1. Approve the waiver to reduce the front setback when a parking lot is between the building and the street from 60 ft to 55 ft since it is a minor reduction of the setback area and still provides a setback distance greater than the 20 ft required by the base zoning of C-H-1 (Highway Commercial), and because if the subject property had a straight front lot line, the encroachment would not occur and the waiver would not be needed.

Staff recommends approval of this request for a Certificate of Appropriateness for a building permit subject to one condition:
1. The project is still subject to all previous conditions of approval.

1. This request is for the Extra Space Storage facility at the intersection of Dutchtown and Cogdill Roads. The grading, architectural, landscape, lighting, and site plans for the Extra Space Storage facility have already been approved (TTCDA Cases 4-B-22-TOB, 10-A-22-TOA, 9-A-23-TOA, and 1-A-24-TOA). The building has been constructed and all other approvals remain in effect. However, the building encroaches into the front setback area along Dutchtown Road. This was depicted in the original site plans (Case 4-B-22-TOB) but was not caught in the initial review. A waiver should have been requested for this encroachment and is now needed after the fact. Therefore, this is a request to reduce the front setback along Dutchtown Road from 60 ft to 55 ft and is not a request to approve the site plans outside of this fact, though they have been provided here for reference.
2. Staff supports this waiver as it is a minor reduction of the setback area and still provides a setback distance greater than the 20 ft required by the base zoning of C-H-1 (Highway Commercial). The subject property has an angled corner where the right turn lane of Dutchtown Road approaches Cogdill Road. It is at the point where the property turns that the building encroaches slightly into the setback area; if the front lot line of the property were a straight line, there would be no encroachment and the waiver would not be needed.
3. Site plans show the building encroaching by 3 ft. Staff has proposed a waiver of 5 ft to provide a buffer space.
4. The initial approval for Case 4-B-22-TOB was subject to two conditions, and those still apply. One condition was to increase the floor area ratio from 30% to 31.8% and the other was to reduce the parking setback to 10 ft.
