At the September 29, 2014 City Council meeting, Commissioner Gray asked that these two (2) cases be deferred in order to have time to determine if other options might be available to address the issue of driveway widths.. Staff further investigated and have concluded that there are no other options, other than amending the requirements of the Land Development Code. Commissioner Gray has since requested that the BZA minutes for the two (2) subject cases be placed back on the agenda, accepting the recommendations of the BZA of denial of the variance requests for both cases.
