way shall be less than 36 inches in height. The developer should also work out the details of this screening plan for identification in the development permit. rchit¢ctura} Standards: City Code requires that in the IndUstrial District, exterior wall nishe{ be of material other than metal on 50% of the exposed walls. The building exterior is proposed to be rock face concrete block and the building front will be finished off with a metal f~,cia; this proposal is in a~ordance with City Code, ~ City Code requires that all solid waste and refuse receptacles shall be stored within a completely screened smacture or container. The site plan does not indicate a waste ~torage area in accordance with City Code and the plan should be amended accordingly. Off Stre_e~ Parking - Design: In accordance with City Code, the off-street parking areas are propose, gl to consist of a bituminous surfacing. For off-street parking areas, City Code requires~a 3 foot setback from road right-of-ways. The proposed off-street parking areas are proposed to be set back 20-22 feet from road right-of-ways. City Code requires that the bitu'rrfinous surfacing be finished with continuous concrete curb. The site plan proposes placing concrete curbing around the perimeter of customer/employee parking areas but it does not show curbing the outer perimeter of the interior loading area. The site plan must be correcw..d accordingly and it is not anticipated that the City would expect the loading area to be curbed until the final phase of the developmem_ Off Srre~ Parking - Spaces Required: City Code requires I parking space for each employei on the maximum working shift. Phase.I proposes to employ 20 persons and provides'32 parking spaces; Phase II proposes to employ 16 persons and provides 28 parking ~aces; Phase III proposes to employ 20 persons and provides 48 parking spaces.

Loading :Orca: City Code requires a minimum of two loading docks for the size facility proposed~ each loading dock should measure at least 12' x 60'.

Staff would assume that the interior loading area is not proposed to be paved until the third and final phage of the building consmaction. In addition, n-uck traffic is not supposed to be routed through customer/employee parking areas. Staff questions how the developer proposes tO provide mack traffic with a paved access to a paved loading area until Phase III is consmaCted. Lighting: The exterior lighting plan is shown on the site plan and is acceptable. Any lighting u~;ed to illuminate the site should be arranged to deflect light away from adjacent properties ~and roadways.
