RESOLUTION NO. 199% R-97-36
At a public hearing of City Council held in Council Chambers, Room 305, City
Hall on June 10, 1997 and continued to July 8, 1997, and July 29, 1997.
WHEREAS, Diane Cox Basheer Communities, L.C., has submitted
application No. SE-167-95-1 requesting special exceptions pursuant to §213.2(f)
pertaining to §26-213.2(c) to allow a minimum side yard of greater than zero but
less than 10 feet (where zero or greater than 10 feet is required); and a special
exception pursuant to §26-19.3 to allow parking within the Resource Managemen
Area, at the Farr property at 10112, 10120, 10140, and 10172 Main Street;
WHEREAS, City Council has determined that the proposed special
exceptions are appropriate and meet the requisites established by City of Fairfax
Code Sections 26-213.2(f), 26-10.3 and 26-103(c), for the following reasons:
The proposed special exceptions for side and front yards meet the
established criteria. The Board of Architectural Review recommended
approval of these requests, with conditions, at its meeting of May 21, 1997.
The proposed special exception to allow parking within the Resource
Management Area meets the criteria established in Section 26-19.3. Only
approximately six guest parking spaces adjacent to the tot lot in the
Courtyard Plex area near Main Street are in the RMA. The applicant's
submitted Water Quality Impact Assessment indicates that the proposed
stormwater management proposal for the Farrcroft development will
prevent the exception request from causing a degradation of water quality
o
Granting the requested special exceptions is consistent with the goals and
objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, the Community Appearance Plan,
and the 2020 report, "Traditions with Vision," and will not produce any
negative impacts on the community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Fairfax on this 29th day of July, 1997, that application No. SE 167-95-1 be an~
hereby is APPROVED and
ADOPTED this 29th day of July, 1997, with the following condition:
1. For the side yard setbacks, the general development plan, proffers and
homeowner association covenants should preclude future encroachments, such a
fences, decks or house additions, into any side yards except for fences within the
side yard setback from the back comer of a home to the end of the property line t
separate adjacent backyards.
