Summary Explanation/ Background: The Applicant, G.I. of Commercial, LLC, filed an application (Attachment B) for a Variance from Land Development Regulations Article III., Section 5.32.2.G on January 06, 2021 to provide for an Outdoor Menu Board located approximately 99.42 feet from an abutting Residential Property where a minimum distance of 200 feet is required.
