This request for a variance from the Land Subdivision Code involves 5.59 acres. This request is intended to split one lot into two create an eastern lot of 3.46 acres and a western lot of 2.13 acres. The property is located one-quarter mile north of Kenosha Street, east of Elm Place and is platted as Lot 1 Block 1 Northside Christian Church.
Article 5 Section 5.1 of the Land Subdivision Code was updated by Ordinance 3710 (attached), which states that the procedures of this section may be used instead of the subdivision procedures for all lot splits which are non-exempt land divisions of platted or unplatted property resulting in the creation of no more than three (3) lots, including any remainders of the parent tract. Article 1 Section 1.4 provides the Planning Commission the authority in administration as a governing body. The applicant is requesting approval by the Planning Commission to create a fourth lot from the original platted Lot 1 Block 1 Northside Christian Church. A lot split application has been submitted as LOT-001645-2024, which would create the fourth lot. This lot is shown in the attached exhibit as the dotted line that divides the property.
There is currently one building on the existing lot that faces Elm Place. Additionally, the lot currently has two zoning districts and two land use categories. The applicant should have a pre-development meeting with Staff before proceeding with any further lot splits, rezonings, or comprehensive plan changes.
