COMPREI-IF~NSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
Light Industrial/showroom uses
DISCUSSION:
The intended use of this property is an 88,000~ square foot
office/warehouse building. The building is parked at a ratio of
approximately one space per 200 square feet allowing the building to be
leased as 100 percent office if the market demands.
Along the north side of the building adjacent to the loading areas of the
existing industrial uses, Essex Wire and Marek, the site plan indicates a
six foot wall to screen the loading and parking areas. Two sides of this
wall will be constructed of tilt wall panels to match the proposed
building. The northern section of the wall adjacent to the existing
industrial is proposed to be concrete panels, with different materials,
texture and color than the other sides of the wall. Staff is recommending
that the flit wall panels, matching the main structure also be used along
the north property line.
Per the elevations, the facade will be approximately 40% store front
windows and the roof line will undulate between 23' to 25'-8". The
color board indicates the main facade will be light beige with accents of
light and dark brown. Chrome finished columns will mark the main
entry doors along Crestside and Lakeshore Drives.
There are several problems with the Landscape Plan. The requ ed
perimeter landscaping is being provided along the street frontages, and
the interior landscaping is being provided in the parking islands.
However, there is an 10,00(O square foot deficient in the provision of
non-vehicular landscaping. Also, Section 34-1-8(B)(3), of the
Landscape Ordinance states that a "single row of parking shall have
landscape islands separating no more than 15 space er /ess than 5
$oace$." At the southwest comer of the building three parking spaces
are shown separated by a landscape island. Staff is recommending that
these three spaces be eliminated and devoted to landscape areas.
Maneuvering out of these spaces may also be potentially hazardous given
their proximity to Crestside Drive. This project is significantly over
parked for pure office as well as office/warehouse and the loss of
parking spaces to adhere to the landscape requirements should not have a
significant impact on the development.
As discussed, the area north of the building will be screened with a six-
foot wall, and therefore exempt from the landscaping requirements, per
provision 34-1-8(A) of the Landscape Ordinance. However, 10 feet of
Item # 14
perimeter landscaping and trees are being provided adjacent to the wall
along the north property line.
The Re-plat of Lot 1R, Block C of Northlake Business Park proposes to
dedicate fire lanes and two 20'x 20' water line easements to provide for
a looped water system. A 26' TP&L easement is proposed to be
abandoned by this plat. This easement was originally established when
this property was platted into two lots. Now that it is being re-platted
into one lot, this easement is no longer required. However, prior to the
filing of the plat additional TXU easements may be needed.
RECOMMF~NDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending approval of the SITE PLAN subject to:
(1) All three sides of the screening wall being ~ of tilt wall
(2) Correct the scale on the Landscape Plan from 1:40 to 1:30
(3) Revise the site plan to provide for the required noo-vehicul:ar
(4) Remove three (3) parking spaces at the southwest comer of the
building and add to landscaping areas.
Staff is recommending approval of the REPLAT of Lot 1R, Block C of
Nortblske 635 Business Park subject to:
(1) Prior to the filing of the plat additional TXU easements will be
provided, if necesmry.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request.
2) Recommend di~pproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request
4) Tal~ under advisement for reconsideration at a later date.
