We offer th~ following comments: Zoning: The site is z( Lot Coverage: The si restricted to 35% or .' for a lot coverage of square feet. With the compliance with City ~ned Industrial for which' manufacturing is a permitted use. :e is approximately 3.5 acres in size or 154,080 square feet. Lot coverage is 3,928 square feet. The proposed size of the building is 24,960 square feet 16%.

There~is also landscaping proposed along the building front. Landscaping is proposed to consist o412 trees and 46 shrubs. All plantings must be located 20 feet from the edge of street pavement. The plan also proposes to seed and mulch all disturbed areas. Architectural $~tndarlts: City Code restricts building height to 35 feet and exterior wall finishes must be of material that is 50% other than metal on the exposed Wails. The site plan appears to be for a 1-story building ~at 22 feet high, which is in complihnce with City Code. However, there is also reference on the ~ite plan to a future second story that indicates a proposed building height of 55 feet which is not inlconformance with City Code. This issue needs to be resolved. The exterior facing finish of the wt~lls ~s proposed to be pre-cast concrete panels which is in compliance with City Code. Waste Storage: City ~ode requires that all solid waste and refuse receptacles shall be stored wi~in a completely sCreened[structure or container. The site plan does not indicate a waste storage area in accordance with City Code and the plan should be amended accordingly.
