SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
public/institutional uses.
DISCUSSION: Site Plan: Components of a site plan submission still missing are: samples
of exterior color selections, exterior lighting specifications, rear and side
building elevations and monument sign elevations. Elements of the site
plan and landscape plan which do not comply with City regulations include
lack of 30"-high plant material to screen the driveway on the south, lack
of a 6-high masonry screen wall on the east and location of a monument
sign too close to an interior property line.
Preliminary Plat: With the exception of half the width of Town Center
Boulevard where it adjoins City property, the Planning Department has
found no record in its files indicating that either Town Center Boulevard
or Town Center Drive has been dedicated. If the streets have been
dedicated by an insmanent other than a plat, the place of recording should
be noted on this plat. If not, sufficient roadway dedication needs to be
accomplished by plat to comply with Subdivision Ordinance requirements
[All lots shall be adjacent to a dedicated street to which access is allowed.
(Appendix C, Section IA13)].
