General: The plan proposes to construct an office building with a track terminal and a future recycling transfer station. The site is generally located west of Azurite Street and North of McKinley Street. %oning: The site is zoned Business Warehouse; the Site Plan submitted should be modified to correctly reflect BW, Business Warehouse instead of I, Industrial.

The access plan is acceptable. Building Size: The office building is proposed to be 19,926 square feet in size, with a second floor mezzanine area of 1,248 square feet. A recycling facility of 17,100 square feet in size is shown on the site plan, but is being proposed for construction at a future date. Lot Coverage: The site is approximately 8.94 acres or 378,616 square feet in size and City Code restricts building coverage to 35 percent of a lot area or 132,516 square feet in this case. The size of the proposed structure, including the future addition, is 37,026 square feet. Utilities: Sanitary sewer and municipal water are provided along both McKinley and Azurite Streets. Service connections located behind the street curb are available on McKinley Street.
