COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property suitable for
light industrial/showroom uses.
DISCUSSION: In reviewing site plans, the planning staff carefully checks landscaped
areas, pavement areas and building coverage for compliance with zoning
regulations. The only feature of the proposed site plan which staff found
not to be in compliance, is the indication of two monument signs on the
property. The Zoning Ordinance limits this site to one monument sign.
Staff requested but did not receive either the elevations of proposed
monument signs or information on the nature of parking lot light fixtures
and standards.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends approval of the site plan subject to the following
conditions:
1. Reduction of the number of monument signs to one per platted lot,
unless the Board of Adjustment authorizes a variance to the
requirement.
2. Provision of elevations of the proposed monument signage.
3. Provision of information regarding the nature of parking lot light
fixtures and standards.
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.
