. . . Case File: CU 06-31 Page 3 In the review of the standards for CUP as outlined, it appears that the addition is consistent with all of these standards. Overview The request consists of Proposed Addition A at 3,600 sq. ft. and of Proposed Addition B at 3,230 sq. ft. The site currently has two buildings on the property; the Precision Frame & Alignment building at 5,525 sq. ft. and Deano's Collision building at 14,440 sq. ft. The Proposed Addition A expansion would be attached to the Precision Frame & Alignment while the Proposed Addition B expansion would be attached to the Deano's Collision building (which requires the approval of a variance). Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan guides this area as Highway Commercial and the proposed use is consistent with the plan. Design Standards The existing buildings, as well as the previously approved additions, were constructed prior to the adoption of the current design guidelines (May 16, 2005) for the C-3 zoning district. The requirements are to have at least two approved materials on each fas;ade. The applicant is proposing matching the same material that currently exists on each building which is metal panels. The buildings are considered non-conforming. Staff would recommend that the additions not be required to have the second material as required by ordinance, as the majority of the buildings only have one material. Instead, staff would recommend that the required second building material be utilized at the front elevation/entrance to meet the intent of the design requirements for the C3 zoning and provide more prominent visual impact. Parking and Circulation Based on the square footage (26,795) of all the buildings and the city's requirement, a total of 89 parking stalls would be required on site for all buildings (1:300). The proposed layout exceeds this requirement with a total of 93 stalls. The minimum 10' setback from the property line is also maintained. Ten of the existing parking stalls are being relocated to within 10-feet of the north property line. This will allow for more vehicular circulation as well as provide one additional parking stall. The site has two existing access points, one off of V ance Street and one off of 173rd Avenue. The applicant is not proposing any additional access points.
