What this is
The owner of a 38.4-acre property at 2900 Telecom Parkway is asking for a variance from the city's subdivision code to allow Building 4 (2940 Telecom Parkway) to be sold as a separate flag lot — a lot that lacks direct frontage on a public street.
Why it matters
Approving this variance would allow a commercial building to be split off and sold separately, affecting how that large tech-corridor property is developed and accessed.
