This item concerns a request for a variance to landscaping and buffering requirements under chapter 107 of the Unified Land Development Code. The variance process allows for development activities that do not fully comply with the code, provided certain conditions are met. These conditions include review and approval by the planning board, ensuring the variance does not amend the comprehensive plan, is not expressly prohibited, and is not a use variance. The variance must also be granted due to unnecessary hardship to the property owner and not be contrary to public health, safety, and welfare. This item is currently under review by the Planning Board. If approved, the project could involve site preparation, installation of landscaping and buffering materials, and related site work. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this review process, as early engagement before final site plans and permits are issued could offer a competitive advantage.
