Overall, it appears that the architectural character as indicated on the preliminary site plan has been carried through to the remaining facades. It is important to note that there is no access to the building from Sunwood Drive, other than an emergency egress. It appears that the Applicant has attempted to enhance the street level presence along Sunwood Drive by introducing an architectural overhang with the 'Suite Living' branding to draw attention to a service /employee entrance along the side facade on the eastern end of the building. The Site Plan indicates two locations for wall signs and one (1) monument sign along Civic Center Drive. The proposed signs do not meet current City Code requirements for signs in the TC -1 district. Staff has already previously been drafting revisions to the City's sign code regulations, especially in The COR development, to allow for additional flexibility in sign standards. Signs are not approved through the site plan process, and are reviewed separately from the building permit. This should allow the City time to explore amendments to the City's sign ordinance before formally approving any signage plan. Civil Engineering and Landscape plans are generally acceptable with changes outlined in the Staff Review Letter. Sidewalks and standard landscaping must be provided along Civic Center Drive. Recommendation: The Planning Commission recommended approval of the site plan for Suite Living at The COR. The Preliminary Site Plan was approved at the November 23rd, 2010 City Council Meeting, contingent upon revisions as requested by City Staff outlined in the Staff Review Letter. A majority of those items have been addressed on the final site plan, and thus, City Staff would recommend approval of the Final Site Plan, contingent upon compliance with the City Staff Review Letter dated December 8, 2010. Funding Source: All costs associated with reviewing the application are the responsibility of the Applicant. Council Action: Motion to approve /deny the final site plan of Suite Living at The COR, contingent upon compliance with the City Staff Review Letter dated December 8, 2010, approval of the major plat of COR ONE, adoption of the ordinance amending setbacks in the TC -1 sub - district, and the Applicant entering into a Development Permit with the City as drafted.
