This proposed use does not follow the council approved plan and would require a Land Use Amendment. Parking, Transportation, and Circulation They are proposing 37 stalls along the western property line to keep parked vehicles out the circulation area for the large equipment. Section 30 -935 states: a) All of- street parking areas shall include unpaved, landscaped islands that are reasonably distributed throughout the parking area. These islands should be located to break up expanses ofpaved areas andfacilitate trafc control. Islands shall be provided in a ratio of at least one island per 15 parking spaces. b) Landscaped islands shall be equal to the sitie of a parking stall, at minimum. The protision offewer, but larger parking lot islands is encouraged. The applicant is required to provide at least 2 landscaped islands in the western parking lot. The applicant indicated the building is positioned on the property with a 15 foot parking setback to maximize safety of the business for all drivers, customers, and employees. No turning radius exhibits were provided showing that the 10 foot reduction in the setback is needed. While flexibility in setbacks is a possible product of the PUD zoning, the overall goal of a high quality front yard and street scape must be established. Given the PUD flexibility in setbacks, it is expected that the landscaping and building design exceed the minimum standards. The applicant is proposing bituminous millings an approximately 25% of the paved parking area. This is not an approved surface in the ordinance. Building Materials Staff is utilizing the BP zoning district design standards as the baseline for review. The building is proposed to be tip up concrete panels & stone veneer. The BP district states building materials shall be of one of the acceptable materials (Integrally colored and exposed aggregate precast concrete panels) and shall be combined with at least 30 percent of one or more acceptable materials (brick /stone veneer). Garage doors shall have a color that matches or coordinates with the building's primary body color. The submitted elevations do not indicated what colors the walls and garage doors will be. The building shall be designed to screen equipment located on the roof of the building. Alternatively, such equipment shall be located in such a manner so that it cannot be seen from the adjacent public street, public path /trail, or adjacent residentially zoned property at the same elevation of the first floor of the building. The submitted elevations do not show any roof top equipment. Signage One wall sign is proposed on the west side of the building. A sign permit shall be obtained before signage may be installed. The applicant is proposing an entrance monument sign on their property to complement the sign the city has planned for the southern entrance to the park. It is unclear who would install, pay for, and maintain this sign. NADepartments \Community Devclopment \Planning \Case Files\CUP\CU 15 -08 Morrell \CU 15 -08 sr PC.docx
