Item # 12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
light industrial/showroom use.
DISCUSSION:
The submitted replat shows that the interior lot line between Lots 1 and 2 has
been shifted southward by about 4', thus increasing the size of Lot 1 by
4,840 sf and decreasing the size of Lot 2 by 9,317 sf. The location of the
fire lanes along the southern and eastern property lines of Lot 1 were shifted
slightly northward and the fire lanes for Lot 2 will be platted with this replat.
The submitted site plan shows two single story tilt wall structures to be built
in two phases. Phase I consists of the construction of the eastern building
located adjacent to Beltline Road. The building measures approximately
108,000 sf and the applicant is providing 443 parking spaces and 5 loading
spaces during Phase I. The remaining 326 parking spaces, 5 loading spaces
and the second building will be built at an undetermined future date. There
appears to be some inconsistencies with regards to the number and layout of
the parking and loading spaces between the Site Plan and the Landscape Plan.
The total number of parking spaces indicated on the Site Plan is 769 while
the Landscape Plan shows 780. Also, the parking and landscaped areas
within the interior courtyard areas of both buildings do not track on the two
drawings. The zoning ordinance calls for planting islands located at each
terminus of each single row of parking. Planting islands are missing from
the parking spaces located in the interior courtyard areas adjacent to both
buildings. Also, the zoning ordinance does not permit more than 15 parking
spaces within a single row of parking. The following additional items must
be corrected with regards to parking:
1) at the northwest corner of Beltline and Wrangler there is a row of 16
parking spaces;
2) the two double parking rows located west of Building 1, show a row of
18 parking spaces and a row of 21 parking spaces.
3) adjacent to the northern property line there are three rows of 17 parking
spaces.
The landscape plan shows an attractive landscape treatment of 3 ft. high
berrns with groupings of Live Oaks and Crape Myrtles interspersed along the
tops of the berms along Beltline Road and Wrangler Drive. Two oversized
landscaped islands are shown at both the Beltline and Wrangler entrance
driveways separating the ingress and egress vehicular movements. The
landscape plan will have to be revised to reflect the total number of parking
spaces shown on the Site Plan, as well as to show the loading spaces. The
changes will affect the calculations of the interior landscaping figures, Staff
has concerns with the accuracy of the landscaping calculations shown on the
submitted plan. Currently, the applicant is stating it will be providing a total
of 151,~.~. sf of landscaping. According to staff calculations the total area
available on this site for landscaping is 150,263 sf. Staff suggests the
applicant check the figures when they revise their plan.
Item # 12
The building elevations show a single building very similar architecturally to
the IBM building under construction on Lot 1 of the replat. However, the
elevations do not call out the colors of the proposed building materials. Staff
presumes the submitted plan is showing the elevations of the building to be
built during Phase I. As staff is reviewing the entire site we need separate
elevations for the second building. The western elevation should, show the
building wrapping around the interior courtyard area. Staff sees a very linear
architectural treatment on that particular facade.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Because of staff concerns expressed above, we are reluctant to recommend approval of this case.
However, staff could support the replat. With regards to the site plan approval we can
recommend favorably ~ if the following conditions have been compiled with prior to the
Planning and Zoning Commission hearing:
1. Match information presented on the Site Plan with the Landscape Plan.
Revise the Landscape Plan to reflect the following:
a) Single row of parking can not contain more than 15 parking spaces.
b) Planting islands shall be located at each terminus of each single row of parking.
c) Show the loading spaces.
d) Match Site Plan parking layout and the total number of parking spaces.
e) Revise landscape tabulations to show the correct pavement area and number of
parking islands.
Revise the Building Elevations to reflect the following:
a) Provide all four building elevations for both buildings.
b) Provide greater detail on type and color of proposed building materials.
