City l 40„,..._ Request for Action River To Item Number Planning Commission 4.1 Agenda Section Meeting Date ' Prepared by Planning Items August 13, 2013 Jeremy Barnhart, CODD Deputy Director Item Description Reviewed by Request by RJ Ryan construction for site plan review for building design alternatives Reviewed by Action Requested Approve by motion the proposed building design for the Preferred Powder Coating,with the following conditions: 1. All roof mounted units must be screened from view from area public streets. 2. Garage doors shall be painted to match the lower portion of the walls. 3. As a Conditional Use Permit is not a Building Permit,the applicant shall apply for all required permits. Background/Discussion Preferred Powder Coating is proposing construction of a 100,000 square foot light industrial facility on a lot located within the Natures Edge Business Center development. This lot is zoned Business Park (BP). During the review of the Conditional Use Permit for the garage doors (required because they face a public street), some questions were raised regarding the building elevations, and whether the proposed was consistent with the requirements of the zone. In Section 30-1294 (e), the Business Park zoning district outlines several required criteria, all intended to upgrade the appearance of these buildings from the historical standard industrial building. Requirements include a mix of surface materials, surface planes, and screening, and other interest adding features. In particular, these improvements are required on the more visible surfaces of a project, or those that are adjacent to residential. The Ordinance provides an alternative,in Section 30-1294 (e) 4 (e). The Planning Commission may approve,via site plan approval, a project where a lower percentage of materials, or design techniques alone are proposed. The building is to be constructed of precast exposed washed aggregate tilt up concrete panels which includes parallel recessed sand blasted bands. The bottom of the wall will be sandblasted. Colors include beige and a light tan,with bronze accents (window and door trim). The corner of the building that houses the offices for Preferred Powder is architecturally different than the remainder of the building. The office section includes higher walls,rock face block,windows and a different style of precast concrete. There are windows on three sides of the building, the exception being the west facade.
