We offer the following comments: General: The site plan is proposing to develop a multi-tenant office building on Lot 1, Block 4, Alpaca Estates. The site is generally located on Riverdale Dr. at Alpaca St. NW. Zoning: The site is currently zoned B-2 Business; office buildings are a permitted use in this zoning district. Lot Coverage: The site plan is proposing a 10,097-square-foot office building on a 67,019-square-foot lot, for a total lot coverage of approximately 15% (the maximum allowed under City Code is 35%). Accessory Use: There are no accessory uses indicated on the submitted site plan. Utilities: The facility will be served by on-site sewer and water fa, cilities. Setbacks: The building location meets the 35-foot front yard, 20~foot- side yard, and 35-fo0t rear yard setback requirements. City Code requires a 20-foot green space area adjacent to all public roads, which the proposed development appears to meet. The proposed development is adjacent to a residential area to the south. In this situation, City Code requires a 50-foo~ bufferyard between the uses with a 30% increase in plantings. ~ Signs: A sign is indicated in the submitted site plan. For your information, signs must be approved through a separate permit process. Please contact Chris Anderson, Community Development Assistant, at (763) 433-9905 for more information.
