Case File:CU 12-20 Cornerstone Conditional Use Permit Page 3 If denial of such a permit should occur,it shall accompany recommendations or determinations by findings or a report stating how the proposed use does not comply with the standards set forth in Section 30-654. In the review of the standards for a CUP as outlined,it appears that the request is consistent with all of these standards. ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan/ 171s`Focused Area Study The use of the property for auto sales is appropriate based on the Comprehensive Plan and the 171st Focused Area Study. The Focused Area Study anticipates that changes to Highway 10 access may impact businesses that rely on direct or nearly direct access off of 10. This is one of those businesses. Transportation/ Circulation Access to the site will be via driveways off of 173rd from the north and 171st from the south. Accesses off of Highway 10 were closed by the applicant in 2006. It is important to note that when access off of Highway 10 shifts, the Chrysler and Kia will be furthest from the likely primary entrance, at 171st, coming from the east. Utilities No changes to the utilities are proposed. Landscaping Landscaping was proposed as part of the 2006 submittal. No changes are suggested, although a site inspection will be completed to ensure all trees are still living in the spring. Rooftop units In the review of the application, staff had noted that a number of roof mounted units are not screened, clearly visible from the adjacent Highway 10,in particular from the south. Roof top units are to be screened from adjacent public ways as viewed at the property line. The city requires improvements to developments that do not meet the present day standards in scale with the level of their improvement. After review, staff determined that screening the southern portion of the building would be inconsistent with the scaled improvements; these units do not need to be screened, although staff continues to recommend that to the property owner, as these improvements detract from the high quality brand they are developing.
