DISCUSSION: This request would allow this 1.37 acre tract to be developed for 109
parking spaces. This parking is to be used as overflow employee parking
to serve B & D construction, which is located to the east of this site. The
parking lot use is compatible with surrounding developments as well as
fulfilling a need for additional parking for an existing business. The
parking lot will not be lighted, therefore the use of this lot will be limited
to day light hours only. No signage will be permitted on this site except
for movement control signs as provided for in Section 29-3.2.(A) of the
Zoning Ordinance.
The site plan indicates 109 parking spaces with one access point on North
Lake Drive. This parking lot has been landscaped in accordance with the
provisions of the Landscape Ordinance providing for perimeter and
interior landscaping. Non-vehicular landscaping was not required due to
the lack of any structures. Approximately 33 % of this tract is devoted to
landscaping and 34 trees will be planted.
The replat of North Lake Business Center Phase 1 provides for a 24-foot
fire lane which will encircle the parking spaces. No additional
easements or right-of-way will be required.
