Item # 6
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property suitable for
light industrial and showroom uses.
DISCUSSION: The replat is to create a single 11.42 acre lot to accommodate the
construction of a 105,920 square foot office/warehouse facility with an
anticipated 60,100 square foot future addition. The applicant generally
complies with city requirements. However, the applicant will have to go
to the Board of Adjustment to request a special exception for parking. A
building of this size is required to provide 130 spaces and the applicant is
short 37 spaces. However, if the future expansion and parking are built
as shown the applicant eventually would comply with the parking
requirements. The fenced storage area located immediately to the east of
the truck court should be screened with a 6 foot high brick masonry wall.
However, City Council may waive or modify the requirement.
Applicant is proposing extensive feature landscaping with a monument
sign at the southwest corner of the property. Applicant will have to
furnish an elevation for the sign which delineates dimensions and specifies
the building materials to be used. Staff requests that a notation be placed
on the landscape plan that future parking spaces located against the eastern
property line and fire lane will be screened with a hedge screen 30" in
height. The required tree ratio for the non-vehicular open space should
be corrected to 1 tree per 2,500 square feet of open space.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Planning staff recommends approval of the replat subject to the following
conditions being met:
1) Board of Adjustments approval of a special exception for the
parking.
2) City Council approval of a waiver of the brick masonry
requirement for the fenced open storage area adjacent to the truck
court.
3) Submittal of the monument sign elevation.
4) Inclusion of a notation on the landscape plan indicating a future
30" high hedge to screen for future parking spaces against the
eastern property line and the fire lane.
5) Change title block and renumber lot consistent with previous work
(see Lot 3C, Replat of a Portion of Lot 5R of Freeport North).
