<br />City Council / CU 05-19 <br />~overnber21,2005 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Overview <br /> <br />On February 9,2004 the City Council approved the Conditional Use Permit for Elk Ridge <br />Center. That plan consisted of six buildings (excluding the bank) with 94,105 square feet of <br />building space. They were divided as follows: <br /> <br />. Lot 1.. .29,330 sq. ft. Retail building <br />. Lot 2.. .16,000 sq. ft. Retail building <br />. Lot 3.. .4,500 sq. ft. Class I restaurant <br />. Lot 4.. .15,000 sq. ft. Retail building <br />. Lot 5.. .22,275 sq.ft. Retail building <br />. Lot 6...7,000 sq. ft. Class I restaurant <br /> <br />The applicant is proposing an amendment to the approved CUP which will still include six <br />buildings (excluding the bank) with 93,858 square feet of building space. They are divided as <br />follows: <br /> <br />. Lot 1. . .4,500 sq. ft. retail building <br />. Lot 2.. .18,600 sq. ft. retail building (14,600 retail + 4,000 restaurant) <br />. Lot 6.. .47,562 sq.ft. retail building <br />. Lot 7. . .10,560 sq. ft. day carel school building <br />. Lot 8...7,336 sq.ft. Class I restaurant <br />. Lot 9. . .5,300 sq. ft. Class I restaurant <br /> <br />The proposed changes will result in 247 square feet less of building space. <br /> <br />The City Council is being asked to approve the Conditional Use Permit for the overall site <br />plan for the project. The applicant will have to apply for separate Conditional Use Permits <br />as each lot is developed. <br /> <br />Parking and Circulation <br /> <br />The project includes 548 parking spaces; 540 parking spaces are required by code. The <br />parking areas are broken into smaller lots by landscaped islands and buildings, thus avoiding <br />the large unbroken parking lots typically found in commercial developments. There is a <br />main drive aisle that loops through the site connecting the two access points from Holt <br />Street. Internal traffic is then directed into the smaller lots, which serve the individual <br />buildings, by secondary drives aisles. <br /> <br />The applicant should provide a lighting plan showing the location of the light poles in the <br />parking areas. In order to limit the impact of lighting on the residential area, the applicant <br />should consider using additional shorter standards instead of fewer taller standards. This <br />would also be in keeping with the pedestrian scale that the developer is trying to create. <br /> <br />S:\pLAN~I~G\Case Files\2005\CU 05-19 7040 Lakeland Partners\CU 05-19_CC.doc <br />
