(4) Compatibility Buffer. A compatibility buffer is required along a site’s property line that is shared with a triggering property. a) The minimum width of a compatibility buffer is 25 feet. b) A compatibility buffer must comply with Section 25-8-700 (Minimum Requirements for Compatibility Buffers). ITEM05/2PRESENTATION-NG1The Galindo neighborhood strongly opposes the 600 Cumberland variance request for the following reasons: • Allowing a variance undermines current zoning laws and sets a negative precedent for future developers to disregard the few remaining community protections. • The proposed project would be significantly out of scale with nearby residential and commercial properties. The development would negatively impact the quality of life and the character of the neighborhood. • The project developer’s inability to reach max density is not a hardship.
