Body
Issue/Request:
This application is for the rezoning of 3.28 acres from PI (Planned Industrial) to CP-2 (Planned Community Commercial) and preliminary development plan for the development of three (3) 1-story retail/restaurant buildings. This lot is currently vacant and was previously part of the Polytainers lot.
The plan also depicts future adjacent development to the north and west that are not part of this application and are shown for illustrative purposes only. The development shown to the west is the 4-story, climate controlled, 114,448 square foot indoor storage facility (Appl. #PL2017-205) that was recently approved by the City Council. The development shown to the north is a future hotel project expected to only require staff approval through the final development plan process, provided the development complies with all Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requirements.
The applicant requests the following modifications: (1) a reduction, by one, from the required number of parking spaces for Lot 2 from 56 to 55 for a restaurant use; (2) a reduction, by 2 feet, from the required 20’ parking setback along NE Douglas Street; (3) a reduction, by 0.5 inches, from the required 3-inch caliper for the shade trees; (4) a reduction, by 1 inch, from the required 3-inch caliper for the ornamental trees; and (5) a reduction, by 3 feet, from the required minimum height of 8 feet for the evergreen trees. Staff supports the requested modifications.
It should be noted and re-stated that Lots 1 and 5 as shown on the plan are for illustrative purposes only and are not included within the boundaries of this application. Approval of this application does not constitute any approval for Lots 1 and 5.
