Planning Commission/CU 04-25 September 28,2004 Page 2 • Site Plan (A1) • Floor Plan (A2) • Elevations (A3) • Landscape Plan (L1) Overview The applicant is proposing to build a 6,994 square foot Napa Auto building in the Mississippi Ridge development. Just west of the subject property, across Yale Street, are twin homes,which were approved as part of Mississippi Ridge PUD. Analysis Building Description and Design Standards The proposed building will be 100'long x 71'-4"wide and 22'-8" tall. There will be a trash enclosure adjacent to the building on the north side. The proposed building material will consist entirely of painted rockface concrete masonry units (CMU). The body of the proposed building will be painted a navy blue with a 2-foot wide painted gold band. A 20- foot wide by approximately 10-foot tall window is the only architectural feature on the east & south elevations. A 10'x 14' overhead door, the entrance and the trash enclosure doors face the twin home properties to the west. The entry is not clearly defined as required by the Mississippi Ridge PUD agreement and the proposed sign exceeds the height requirements and is not designed with the appropriate materials. The entry, exterior facade design and materials do not meet the requirements of the Mississippi Ridge PUD agreement. • Exterior facade materials need to be integrally colored CMU-painted CMU will not be allowed. • Facade colors should be subtle, neutral or earth tone colors. • Buildings should incorporate recesses, offsets, pilasters or angular forms so that no uninterrupted length can exceed 50-feet. The wall projection or recess should be a depth of approximately 3% of the length of the uninterrupted building length. • Architectural features &patterns that provide visual interest at pedestrian scale-not applied trim graphics or paint • Variations in roof lines and cornice details shall be used. Access, Parking and Circulation The proposed layout shows two access points off of Yale Street on the west side of the property. Unless they are shared drives centered on the property lines, staff does not recommend that two access points be allowed on each parcel. According to the ordinance parking requirements, the proposed plan would require 34 parking stalls. The Site Plan (sheet Cl) shows only 32 parking stalls,while the Site Plan S:\PLANNING\Case Files\2004\CU 04-25 Napa\CU 04-25_PC.DOC
