The company is requesting the city to allow 92 percent impervious cover, where 85 percent is the maximum normally permitted, and to allow a 26-foot buffer yard, where a minimum of 75 feet is required, at its location at 602 West First Street.
Grocery Supply Company seeks to add a 9,000 square foot tarp-type covering to the west side of its main structure and replace the 9,000 square foot area of gravel parking with pavement. The company says the covering and pavement is needed to store buggies and carts, which are used by employees within the building to collect orders for shipping to customers.
City staff recommends denial of the variances, citing concerns about industrial use being allowed within 26 feet from the adjacent residential properties and the potential effects of noise, light and debris to them.
The board will meet Monday at 5:15 p.m. at Brenham City Hall.
