He explained that Basalt Properties, LLC is proposing to develop two commercial buildings on 2.62 acres along Basalt NW, south of Highway 116. The subject properties currently consist of three separate parcels platted as Gateway North. As part of the development, the Applicant has also applied for a minor subdivision to combine the three lots into one lot and site plan approval of the buildings to be constructed. As part of their request, the applicant is also asking that the property be rezoned to Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow for two principal buildings on the property and a reduced rear yard setback for one of the buildings. The property is 2.62 acres in size and is currently vacant. It was previously used for outdoor storage by the previous owner. The applicant is proposing to develop two principal buildings that will be used for storage and industrial uses. He stated the City will be expending significant funds and would like to maximize the use of the property. Mayor Gamec suggested the contract address joint parking so there are no future problems with joint access or easements. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon stated the main entrance will be towards the north, where the parking is. The Code addresses the front yard as being the eastern elevation which meets the front yard setback. He stated this looks more like a side yard setback but, technically, it is a rear yard setback. He stated staff supports the request for a reduced rear yard setback of 26 feet instead of the required 35 feet. City Council/September 23, 2003 Page 32 of 41
