1701" Circle. Staff directed you to apply for a street vacation if you felt that was the best solution. On April 10, 2015, the city received your applications for the above use. Staff conducted a thorough site plan review and has the following comments: Business Park Building Materials /Design As stated at the March 24, 2015 meeting, the Business Park ordinance will be the baseline staff, the Planning Commission, and the City Council will use for the establishment of the PUD and standards. 1. The building is proposed to be pre -cast 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% of one or more acceptable materials (brick /stone veneer). The submitted elevations do not indicate what type of pre -cast wall panels are being proposed. Stone veneer is shown as approximately 17% on one elevation only. 2. The building shall be designed so as to prevent the appearance of straight, unbroken lines in the horizontal and vertical surfaces. 3. 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. 4. 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 easiest method is an extension of the parapet. If you would like examples of this treatment being used in the metro area, we will provide examples. The design as submitted does not meet the BP design guidelines. The building will need to at least match, if not exceed the design criteria. Please submit revised elevations that address the above information. A colored elevation rendering would be beneficial for the Planning Commission and City Council review. Parking /Landscaping Section 30 -935 states: (a) All off- streetparking areas shall include unpaved, landscaped islands that are reasonably distributed throughout the parking area. These islands should be located to break up eaianses of paved areas and facilitate trac control,. Islands shall be provided in a ratio of at least one island per 15 parking jpaces. (h) Landscaped islands shall be equal to the sitie of 'a parking stall, at minimum. The provision of feaver, but larger parking lot islands is encouraged. 5. The submitted site plan shows 37 stalls along the western property line and one landscaped island. The city ordinance would require an additional landscaped island in the parking area.
