APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE
MOBIL SERVICE STATION
NORTHWEST CORNER OF INTERSECTION OF WOOLBRIGHT ROAD AND
CONGRESS AVENUE
The petitioner, Mobil Oil Corporation, requests by this application relief from the
requirements of Sec. 11.L.3.d.(1) of the City's zoning code, whereby no driveway shall
be constructed closer than 110' from the intersectng rights of way lines of public
streets.
The purpose of this application is to allow the demolition of the existing Mobil service
station located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Woolbright Road and
Congress Avenue, and the construction of a new Mobil facility, including a 2,436
square foot convenience store and car wash. The facility will provide six pump
islands, with a total of 12 gasoline dispensing pumps.
The subject site is .879 acres, with 168 feet of frontage on Congress Avenue and 175
feet on Woolbright Road. One curb cut exists on Congress Avenue, located 62 feet
from the intersection of the right of way with Woolbright Road. The site plan
accompanying this application indicates a new location for this curb cut, moving it 125
feet from the intersection. Two curb cuts exist on Woolbright Road to service the
existing site. One cut, the westernmost, will be closed with the new plan. The
remaining cut will be left where it currently exists. The movement of the curb cut on
Congress Avenue and the closure of one of the existing curb cuts on Woolbright Road
will significantly reduce the existing nonconforming conditions of the site.
The requested variance meets all of the criteria for approval.
A. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the
land, structure or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands,
structures or buildings in the same zoning district.
Special conditions and circumstances exist for the site. The site has been used for a
gasoline service station since prior to the adoption of the code section for which
variance relief is sought. Although the site lacks sufficient depth and width to meet
the Code's requirements for location of curb cuts for gasoline stations, it is of sufficient
size to accommodate contemporary design for a new Mobil facility.
B. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the action
of the applicant.
The special conditions which exist are not the result of action by the applicant. The
site has been developed for a service station for a very long time, and met City codes
at the time of the original construction.
C. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any
special privilege that is denied by this Ordinance to other lands, buildings or
structures in the same zoning district.
The granting of the variance will allow the site to continue to operate as a service
station, but with improvements in design.
D. That literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning
district under the terms of the Ordinance and would work unnecessary and
undue hardship on the applicant.
The literal interpretation of the provisions of the City code would prohibit the
redevelopment of the site for a service station facility, since safe and adequate access
through the site for customer's cars and tanker trucks could not be accomplished.
Other properties have certainly been allowed to alter improvements, to update the
appearance of the structures, to meet changing customer's tastes and needs, to
accommodate new technology. Granting the variance requested will allow the desired
redevelopment, to accomplish a contemporary function and appearance for the facility.
E. That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible
the reasonable use of the land, building or structure.
The variance requested is the minimum variance that will make possible the
reasonable use of the land. The site is already improved with a service station. The
placement of the curb cuts have been carefully considered in the design of the new
facility, to allow for smooth traffic flow into and out of, and through the site, for
customers as well as tanker trucks. Redevelopment of the site, with the relocation of
the Congress Avenue curb cut, and the closure of one of the curb cuts on Woolbright
Road, will actually reduce the existing nonconforming conditions of the site's
development.
