Village Plaza Theatres – Special Use Permit

7.46.B.11 & 11B

Modifications to the Application

The applicant intends to initially build a movie theater and associated parking.  The applicant seeks approval of a Special Use Permit that would also authorize a second phase of development, to include an additional building and additional parking, as drawn on the proposed site plan.  The applicant would like approval of this second phase to be flexible, such that the second building could be developed either as office space or as residential dwelling units.

The applicant would like to request a variance for the 20% maximum impervious surface requirement for land within in the RCD (5.5.2.2). The impervious surface as existing is approximately 25% of the land within the RCD, and the current Special Use Permit proposal would reduce that amount to about 24%. Most of the impervious surface is being utilized for multi-site vehicular circulation and thus is necessary for public safety and service functions. We feel that both the reduction in the amount of impervious surface as well as the critical public value of the driveways as they exist warrant the requested variance.
