Discussion:
The applicant is requesting two variances for the business All Florida Plumbing located at 1103 South Ridgewood Avenue. The first variance is from Article III, Section 21-36.03(c) to allow for outdoor storage to exceed the height of the existing privacy fence. The outdoor storage of various plumbing equipment is currently screened behind an 8 foot tall privacy wall; however, the equipment exceeds the height by approximately 4'.
The second request is for a variance from Article XX - Ridgewood Corridor, Section 21-540.10 to allow for a predominant building color of yellow. The Land Development Code states that "The use of garish or gaudy colors is prohibited. The use of black, neon, or fluorescent colors is prohibited as the predominant building color." The building has been neon yellow since 2018, however a residential complaint has prompted the application for a variance.
