built within a 120' wide right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:

East - Archon Apartments; PD- 162- MF-2
West -Blooming Colors Nursery: LI
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
light industrial/showroom uses
DISCUSSION: Site Plan:
As noted above, this applicant received site plan approval
earlier this year for a 5,400 square foot Veterinary Clinic.
This site plan is being amended to increase the square
footage of the building to 5,950 square feet and to revise
the elevations. The building is essentially in the same
location as the approved site plan, however, the depth of
the building has increased by approximately 10 feet,
moving the building closer to the north property line. This
building will now be setback approximately 80 feet from
Belt Line Road. The apartments to the east are setback
approximately 60 feet from Belt Line Road, so this
relocation will not have a negative impact on the
streetscape. A lobby area has also been added to the
eastern elevation. All other elements of the site plan have
remained essentially the same, parking count, location of
the dumpster and landscaping. However, the typical
parking space has been labeled as 9' by 18'. The
minimum requirement for a parking space is 9' by 19',
with a 24 foot aisle required unless additional landscaping
is provided. In terms of landscaping, the only substantial
change is the addition of two (2) Chinese Pistache trees
along Belt Line Road.
Elevations:
The most substantial change in this amended site plan is
the proposed revisions to the elevations of the building.
The previously approved plans indicated porches on the
north and west, and dormers on the east and west
elevations to break up the expanse of the roof. The main
exterior material was proposed to be face brick with stone
as architectural accent along the bottom and the corners of
the building. The columns were a combination of brick

and stone. In our opinion, the approved elevations for
this building are mcuh more attractive than this proposed
revision.
The revised plan includes the same building materials as
the previous, however, the building facade and the roof
design has been substantially revised. The porches have
been deleted, except for a roof over the door on the north
elevation and porch along a portion of the east elevation.
The revised elevations also include additional stone on the
east and west facades. The columns that were previously
brick and stone are now proposed to be all stone.
The roof (composition shingle) has been redesigned which
has resulted in awkward roof lines. This roof structure on
the east and west elevations are approximately 100 feet in
length and almost 15 feet in height and therefore dominate
the appearance of these facades. The dormers which were
previously used to break up the massive appearance of this
roof have been deleted in this revised plan. The applicant
has submitted pictures of a similar building, however, the
building in the pictures appears to be 2/3 the size of the
proposed building, has standing seam versus composition
shingle roof and therefore does not appear so massive.
Final Plat:
As discussed, the preliminary plat for this and two
additional lots was approved in April of this year. The
first phase of this development is a Veterinary Clinic on
Lot 2.
This plat provides for the mutual access easements along
the north and west property lines. Once Lot 2 is
developed, the mutual access easement will be extended
to the west to provide access to the proposed median
opening on Belt Line Road. If this additional accessibility
is desired prior to the development of Lot 2, then this
easement can be extended by separate instrument. The
construction and funding of the median opening may also
occur by separate agreement between the land owners.
This plat also provides for the extension of the 15' hike
and bike trial easement adjacent to Belt Line Road.
Item # 9
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the amended site
plan and final plat and DENIAL of the revised elevations.
The approval of the site plan is subject to:
1. A revision to the parking to provide 9' by 19'
parlcing spaces with a 24' aisle.
2. The incorporation of the previously approved
elevations into the revised site plan package.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request.
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request
4) Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date (site plan only).
