In November 2001, City Council approved PD-194 t
six buildings, totaling approximately 1,775,600-~,
property, which would be served by an 8.6-acre d~
comer of the site (adjacent to Wagon Wheel Park a~
State Road). The following variations to the Zonin
part of the Planned Development:
· Multiple monument signs, including bus
and Sandy Lake Road,
· Variances to the Tree Mitigation require
· Variances to the Perimeter Landscape R~
· The provision of a living screen in lieu e
~ allow for the development of
quare feet, on 110 acres of
~tention pond in the southeast
td Freeport Parkway, formerly
· Ordinance were approved as
ness park signs at Royal Lane
nents,
'.quiremcnts, and
wall.
A Detail Site Plan and Final Plat for 308,00)-square feet of speculative
office/warehouse on the southwestern lot were als ~ approved at that time. The
building has since been constructed and is occupied b Somera Communications.
In October 2002, Council approved PD-194R, to allo~v a Detail Site Plan and
Replat
for the Staples 228,250-sq.-fi. office/warehouse facility with future expansion of
161,750-sq. fi.
In February 2003, Council approved PD-194R2, which amended the Amberpoint
PD to modify the industrial park identification si~n location and design and to
incorporate an additional 9.102 acres into this PD. i

Dosed at 108,000~sq. ft., and
Building 4 was 501,600-sq. fi. This prot~osal shows the front two at
101,581 and 62,581-sq. ft., respectively, an~ Building 4 at 549,848-sq. ft.,
thus reducing the overall size by 3,590-sq. fi. The sizes were adjusted
due to the relocation of the future median opening on Sandy Lake. There
are seven proposed ingress/egress points tr~ serve these three buildings.
The one located southeast of Building 4 is proposed to be constructed at
this time, but barricaded until Freeport Parkway is improved. Staff has
concerns about track traffic entering and exi~ing at this point and the close
proximity of residences, and would recom~nend that a headache bar be
installed at the time of tie-in to limit this access to vehicular traffic only.
Item # 7
Page 3 of 6
Staff will evaluate the proposed barricade for safety and aesthetic issues
prior to City Council consideration. The ~outhwest ingress/egress point
will not directly align with the existing drive across Northpoint, and an
exception to this requirement is being reques~ted.
Parking:
The parking required and provided for e~ch proposed use (office and
warehouse) is broken down as follows:
Bldg. Total Area Office Area Warehm se Parking Parking
# (Sq. Ft.) (Sq. Ft.) Area (Sq. Ft.) Required Provided
4 549,848 54,000 10% 495,847i 90% 676 679
5 101,581 50,700 50% 50,8811 50% 220 229
6 62,581 31,200 50% 31,381 50% 135 137
714,010 135,900 19% 578,109[ 81% 1,031 1,045
There are 220 spaces required for Building 5, provided are 229 with 22
located on the west side of Building 6. Thet other parking areas proposed
are directly abutting or adjacent to each of t~eir respective buildings. The
difference from the approved Concept l~lan and this proposal is a
substantial increase in proposed office space. The previous plan indicated
that 46,680-sq. fl. would be devoted to o~ffice whereas this plan shows
135,900-sq. fi. and a subsequent increase in parking spaces required.
Landscaping:
The applicant is using a portion of the detention area for the required
nonvehicular landscape area. In a previous phase with the construction of
the detention area, trees were planted alongthe berm on the outer edge.
The majority have died and some were never installed in accordance with
the previous plan. Trees will be replanted along with the required
perimeter landscaping on Freeport. There isian existing 10' Hike and Bike
and Utility easement adjacent to Freeport P~irkway. This is proposed to be
expanded to 20' to allow for the future construction of a 12'-wide Hike
and Bike Trail. The perimeter landscaping will be planted west of and
adjacent to the easement. The perimeter lal~dscaping on the south end of
the lot (south end of the Future Phase) x~ill be constructed during the
construction of that phase. The landscaping along Freeport, Northpoint
and Sandy Lake will be a continuation of tt~e landscaping provided in the
previous phase to the west (Staples) with alternating Red Oaks and Live
Oaks. There are 41 Bald Cypress and 33 C~dar Elms shown on the Plant
Table at 6 caliper inches. UnfortunatelyI this was a mistake per the
Landscape Architect and will be corrected t~, read 3 caliper inches.
Elevations:
Page 4 of 6
Item # 7
The architecture of the buildings is similar to that of the Somera and
Staples buildings. The building materials are tilt wall with accents and
reveals throughout. The end entries are to be constructed of simulated
stone with cast stone caps, metal canol~ies and windows. Staff is
recommending that the north elevation for iBuilding 6 be considered for
enhancement with one additional entry in the middle to break up the
expanse, as Sandy Lake is a primary imago zone and the north elevation
for Building 5 shows multiple entries. The [front two buildings screen the
dock high doors of Building 4 from Sandy Lake Rd. There are 12'-high
screening walls along the west elevation of Building 5 and the east
elevation of Building 6 to screen their loading areas. The perimeter
landscaping (6-caliper inch Red Oaks ami Live Oaks, spaced 25' on
center) along Freeport and the addition of approximately 17 Eastern Red
Cedars at the north end of the detention are~ is intended to screen the dock
high doors of the south elevation of Buildix~g 4 from view from Freeport
Parkway. Future Building 3 will also screenithe south elevation from view
from Northpoint Drive.
Signs:
The final issue relating to this developme~at is the proposed monument
signs. As part of the approved Concept Site Plan for this PD and
subsequent revisions specific locations and design criteria for monument
signs were designated. Four 60-sq.ft. and o~ae 150-sq. ft. monument signs
were approved for this site. As part of this Detail Site Plan approval, the
applicant is requesting that an additional 160-sq. ft. monument sign be
located along Freeport. Staff recommends that this sign be permitted on
Freeport, but in exchange, one of the two proposed signs be subtracted
from Sandy Lake Road.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of PD-194R3-LI, Ambe~point Business Park Detail Site
Plan and PD revision, subject to:
1) Revise Elevations to show the screen walls locqtted on the west elevation for
Building 5 and the east elevation for Building 6 a~ shown on the Site Plan.
2) Enhance the north elevation for Building 6 to inclBde one additional entry in the
center to meet the articulation requirement of the Boning Ordinance.
3) Note on plans that the southeastern drive wil! not be used until Freeport
Parkway is improved. Submit proposed barricade, and indicate that a headache
bar will be installed upon tie-in.
