36-597

Authorizations for waivers or modifications of cross access connections

The City Planning Commission may authorize modifications or waivers of the requirements of Section 36-59, inclusive, provided the Commission finds that:

(a)        due to the irregular shape of the zoning lot or the location of connections along other lot lines or boundaries between properties on the same zoning lot, it is not possible to design a complying parking lot with a complying cross access connection; or

(b)        site planning constraints necessitate the placement of a new or enlarged building against a lot line or other boundary between properties that precludes a cross access connection along such lot line or boundary, and no other site plan is feasible.

The Commission may request reports from licensed engineers or landscape architects in considering such modifications or waivers.
