"3. Ordinance Granting Zoning Variation For The Property At 168 Addison Road To
Allow For An Increase In The Maximum Lot Coverage Restriction In Section 4-C-2,
Table 3 Of The Village of Riverside Zoning Ordinance"
I thought they made setback and side ordinances to prevent jumbotron lot coverage. Why have variances, I wonder?
Yes, that Real Estate item has appeared very frequently over the last year.
You need the real estate so you can do a PUD with a developer. Trustee Shields informed us, at length and ad nauseum, why he was against ANY restriction as to height or bulk, either in the CBD or residential zones. And away we go.
You must log in to post.
