COMPREHENSWE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
historic district use.
Item # 18
DISCUSSION:
This site plan amendment involves classifying this proposed use as general
retail which allows for a variety of retail and/or personal service
establishments to be located at this address. By broadening the use
classification it provides the property owner more flexibility in terms of
leasing and avoids the need to bring forth a site plan amendment each time
the owner has a new prospective tenant.
The current applicant is proposing an antique and home accessories store
featuring the sale of fine collectibles and upscale decorative items. The
site plan, driveway location and number of parking spaces being provided
are identical to the previous submittal. The property owner will be adding
about 1,615 sf of new pavement to the existing 960 sf of asphalt/concrete
pavement to accommodate 4 new parking spaces as required by ordinance.
With regards to signage, the Planning and Zoning Commission will be
reviewing the size, the font style and color of the attached sign elevation.
The proposed signage plan shows a 12.5 square foot wooden attached sign
with black lettering and a black border. Should the tenant name change, as
long as the size, the font style and color of the sign remains identical to the
elevation being approved by both the Planning and Zoning Commission
and City Council, additional paper work will not have to be submitted to
the Planning Department. However, it does not exempt the new tenant
from securing a sign permit from the Building Inspections Department.
Lastly, the landscape plan shows that an existing 44-caliper inch
Hackberry tree may possibly be removed due to root penetration under the
house foundation. A reminder that a tree removal permit will need to be
executed prior to removal of any trees. However, planning staff
encourages the preservation of the tree.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends approval of the special use permit subject to the following
conditions being met:
I) Revise proposed signage plan showing all dimensions of the sign,
lettering, and borders.
2) The site plan should show existing and proposed driveway widths. (See
Engineering Department comments).
3) Show the location of existing driveways of adjacent properties. (See
Engineering Department comments).
4) Preservation of the 44-caliper inch Hackberry tree.
5) A Tree Removal Permit will need to be executed prior to removal of
any trees. (See Leisure Services Department).
Item # 18
