The site plan proposes a 20,832 square foot building, which is in compliance with the 35% lot coverage restriction. The building does not exceed the 35 foot height restriction and the exterior walls are proposed to consist of concrete masonry units. The plan shows two accesses onto 140th Avenue, which is acceptable. Code requires a minimum of 1 loading berth; 4 loading docks are proposed on the rear or south wall and I overhead door is proposed on both the east and west ends of the building. It doesn't appear that the overhead doors on the east and west ends of the building have enough maneuvering area for tractor/trailer rigs. In accordance with City Code, all driveways, parking areas and loading areas are proposed to be surfaced with bituminous and finished with B-612 concrete curbing. Three waste storage areas are proposed and the construction materials are painted concrete block with cedar gates. This is consistent with the 100% screening requirement in City Code. The Landscape Plan complies with the 20 foot wide landscape area requirement along 140th Avenue. Staff has suggested, and the developer has agreed to the addition of a couple of trees on the east and west property lines to intensify screening activity at the overhead doors. The Lighting Plan appears to comply with City Code requirements; fixture diagrams will have to be submitted for review and approval.
