Will fullY complY with all other requirements of this Code, including a1!Y applicable requirements and standards for the issuance of a license or permit to establish and operate the proposed use in the ciry. If denial of such a permit should occur, it shall accompany recommendations or determinations by findings or a report stating how the proposed use does not comply with the standards set forth in Section 30-654. In the review of the standards for CUP as oudined, it appears that the request is consistent with all of these standards. Analysis The two above ground storage tanks are 12-feet in diameter and 24-feet tall which is 4-feet shorter than the shortest portion of the building. The two tanks are proposed to be located on the east side of the building and are proposed to be milky white in color. The building will be earth-tone colors, a tan limestone mixed with red rock, and red rock. These mixed with the concreted base will give a warm golden appearance. The tanks will be screened by the building from most of the properties of the Sandpiper Estates. The tanks will not be screened by the building for those living in the Country Crossing townhome area. Staff is recommending berming to help further screen the tanks from the residential areas. Based on the possible future expansion area and view angles, the building will provide additional screening from Sandpiper Estates. Building Design The drawings indicate the building will be tilt-up construction with material and reveal patterns. It is unclear what the material changes are or the percentage of punched openings. The ordinance requires 30% of the fa<;:ade to be a second approved material or 40% punched openings, with or without glass. Major exterior surfaces that are adjacent to any public street, public trail/path, or adjacent residentially zoned properties shall not exceed 160 feet zero inches in length without a minimum four-foot depth change (recesses, protrusions, or a combination thereof), with at least two feet of such change to be in the entire height of the facade. The design of the building does not meet this requirement. The front and rear facades must meet this requirement. Staff will be working with the applicant on the building design to assure that it meets the ordinance requirements. S:\PLANNING MAIN\Case Files\CUP\CU 08-07 E&O Tool\CU 08-07_CC.doc
