OLD BUSINESS
NEW BUSINESS
The following application has been filed for Review and Public Hearing before the Board of
Adjustment.
2. V-24-01 Legislative Hall Parking Garage Project - Legislative Hall Parking Garage Project
proposes redevelopment of the property for construction of a three-story Parking Garage
and other site improvements with portions of the existing surface parking lot and an
office/credit union building to remain. The project has requested variances from the Zoning
Ordinance, Article 5 Section 11.21 pertaining to development within the Flood Hazard
Area (1% Annual Chance Flood/100-year floodplain). Variance Request 1 is to decrease the
required reduction of the impervious surface area of the predevelopment conditions on the
lot from 15% to 5% (Article 5 Section 11.211a). Variance Request 2 is to recognize that
48.7% of the lot is within the flood hazard area which is greater than 33% that allows
Planning Commission consideration of reductions in impervious surfaces (Article 5 Section
11.211b). These Variance Requests would allow for some project development within the
Flood Hazard Area. The 5.28 acre +/- property is zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone)
and is subject to H (Historic District Zone). The property is located at the southeast corner
of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard South and East Avenue/E. Water Street. The owner of
record is the State of Delaware - OMB: Division of Facilities Management. Property
Address: 425 East Avenue and existing building addressed as 150 E. Water Street. Tax
