What's on this agenda

The Wake Forest Board of Adjustment holds a public hearing on two variance requests for the Home Depot at 11915 Retail Drive. The store sits in Capital Plaza Shopping Center. Applicant Scott A. Mommer Consulting represents property owner HD Development of Maryland. It wants spandrel glass to cover 100% of the glazing required on the store's north elevation, instead of the ordinance's 15% cap. It also wants a new Tool Rental Center's pickup, drop-off and storage areas placed in the front and street-side setbacks. The ordinance otherwise limits accessory uses to the side or rear yard.

Granting either variance takes four of the board's members agreeing that the request meets each of the ordinance's four findings-of-fact tests. Staff's analysis finds both hardships self-created by the proposed use, not by any condition specific to the property. Staff recommends the board weigh the two requests separately. The board also takes up the minutes from its February 17 meeting.
