Title
ZV2025-0005, Walmart, 12800 Pines Boulevard, variance request. (Cole) (District 4)
Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Lisa Leonard, agent for Wal-Mart, is requesting a parking variance for Wal-Mart, located at 12800 Pines Boulevard to allow 31 short-term parking spaces, instead of a maximum of 10 short-term parking spaces as allowed by Code.
The building was approved in 1993 through site plan SP 93-48 as a Home Depot. In 2010, through SP 2010-07 the building was repurposed for the current tenant Walmart.
In 2019, both ZV 2019-06 and MSC 2019-17 were approved to allow 10 short term parking spaces and associated canopy. Additionally, in 2022, site plan application SP2022-0005 was approved to allow an addition to the existing building to accommodate online orders.
On June 18, 2024 (Ordinance 2022) Code section 155.608 was amended resulting in an increase of the permissible number of short-term parking spaces for this site from 3 parking spaces to 10 parking spaces.
On 3/20/2025 the property owner was cited (code case 250300997) for the addition of short-term parking spaces without approval. Should the Planning and Zoning Board approve the variance as proposed the code case will be resolved.
