Alternatively,parking spaces,with an island, could be improved on the east side of the lot. The parking,including the proof of parking areas,meets the requirements. Architecture The building is to be constructed of precast exposed aggregate tilt up concrete panels. The building color is described as "color 1."The corner of the building that houses the offices for Preferred Powder is architecturally different than the remainder of the building. The office section includes rock face block and a different style of precast concrete. There are a total of 10 loading bay type overhead doors and two garage style doors. There is no description of the color the overhead doors will be,but staff recommends the doors be of similar color to the surrounding building. Zoning The subject property is zoned Business Park (BP)where light manufacturing is a permitted use, and loading areas/overhead doors when located in front yards is a conditional use.
