Memo to the Planning Commission <br />January 28, 1997 <br /> <br />Planned Unit Development <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />All of the proposed buildings within the Hillside Crossing Planned Unit <br />Development are required to receive a conditional use permit for site plan <br />review. This is a typical requirement in all of the planned unit developments <br />that are being approved along the Highway 169 corridor. This review process <br />is the opportunity for the Planning Commission and Council to review the <br />proposed development plans to determine their conformance with the "master <br />plan" approved for the Hillside Crossing project. <br /> <br />Parkinf/Access <br /> <br />The project is proposed to have two access point off of Evans Street. The first <br />access closest to the intersection of Evans and 193rd Avenue will be aligned <br />with the first access into the Sax grocery store. The second access further <br />north on Evans Street is located in an approximate location as identified on <br />the concept plans for the Hillside Crossing Planned Unit Development. <br />These two access points will provide easy circulation in and out of the facility <br />for passenger vehicles, recreational vehicles and delivery trucks servicing the <br />facility. <br /> <br />The total number of possible passenger vehicle parking stalls on site is 69 <br />spaces. The submitted site plan has been prepared illustrating 8 car-trailer <br />parking spaces in place of 24 passenger vehicle spaces. The Planning <br />Commission may want to discuss if they have a preference on how the <br />parking lot should be striped to accommodate car-trailer parking. The two <br />options that may be considered is to actually designate car-trailer parking by <br />striping, or, stripe the parking lot for passenger vehicles and allow the car- <br />trailer parking to occur wherever it may be convenient at any given time. <br /> <br />Landscap in~ <br /> <br />The landscaping plan consists of a variety of materials consistent with the <br />city's ordinances. The proposed landscaping along Highway 169 will need to <br />be reviewed to determine if the mature height of the proposed trees will <br />conflict with any overhead electric lines. If this is the case, the trees will <br />need to be relocated. <br /> <br />During staffs review of the plans it was felt that the proposed landscaping <br />near the entrance of the facility should probably be removed because of the <br />amount of pedestrian traffic in this area. Staff was concerned that the <br />shrubbery proposed for this area would receive a lot a abuse from customers <br />possibly cutting through the planting areas.
