Darkenwald Family Partnership Page 4 May 24, 1994 • DENSITY Given the previous issues, the amount of commercial activity for this site is the last of the three major concerns. Therefore, it is recommended the building containing Mr. Movies and Little Caesar's Pizza be removed from the proposal. This will reduce the number of vehicle trips to the site and help alleviate the traffic congestion that is presently on Carson Street. Furthermore, additional parking space for the auto mall can then be provided as well as increasing the amount of green space. Based on these three issues, it is difficult for staff to make a recommendation at this time. However, assuming the turn lane improvements can be made at Carson Street and Main Street and the second commercial building with the Mr. Movies and Little Caesar's Pizza, the auto mall concept, by itself, appears to be an acceptable use of the property. Without going into much detail, other issues which need to be addressed by the developer include: * Providing significant landscape buffer along the west property line next to • Guardian Angles. * Architectural enhancements to the building presenting an aesthetic appearance along the Highway 169 corridor. * Monument style signage along with uniform signage on the building be provided. * Provide adequate parking for both short term, long term, and employee parking. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the Planning Commission continue this item until the June 28, 1994 Planning Commission meeting, allowing staff and the developer an opportunity to resolve the traffic and site plan issues. In addition, it is recommended the Planning Commission accept the concept of an auto mall of approximately 19,900 square feet and exclude the second free-standing building from the project.
