Memo to Planning Commission/CU 00-28 July 25,2000 Page 2 tanks are to be used for the storage of liquid fruit syrups, fruit concentrates and IIIother liquid ingredients for incorporation into the finished product as part of the filling process. Analysis Existing Conditions The subject property is located slightly west of the southwest corner of the intersection of Business Center Drive and Joplin Street. The property is currently vacant with a line of mature trees along the west property line. The property is zoned Business Park and guided Light Industrial. It is north of Country Crossing Townhomes, an area zoned PUD and comprised of single level townhome units. The southwesterly 310' of the subject parcel abuts Sandpiper Estates which is zoned R1 b (Single Family Residential) and guided Low Density Residential. The site is laid out such that the building is located within the north one-half of the property. Two entry drives are proposed from Business Center Drive; one each on the east and west property lines. There will be no access onto 183rd Avenue NW. A future expansion is proposed. This expansion will occur to the south and ultimately, the two entry drives will create a ring drive around the full building, once it is completed. IIICompliance with the Ordinance Requirements The site plan as proposed meets the building setbacks and front parking setbacks as required by the Business Park zoning. The east and west parking setbacks, however, have not been met and will need to be adjusted to meet the 20' parking setback requirement. A 50' hard surface setback is proposed along the property line adjacent to 183rd Avenue. This will allow for construction of a berm and landscaping to help screen the structure from the adjacent residential structures. For Phase One, 64 parking spaces are proposed. The amount of building being constructed, however, requires 162 spaces to be constructed. This is based on the following: Office space 17,600 s.f. 59 spaces (includes mezzanine space) Warehouse space 15,600 s.f. 8 spaces Manufacturing space 44,724 s.f. 95 spaces TOTAL 162 parking spaces The plan shows an expansion area of 96,480 square feet and associated proof of parking. Staff estimates that for future expansion the following number of parking spaces would be required: III S:\PLANNING\MICHMC\PLREPRTS\C000-28.doc
