Review File: Super America Site Plan Review September 28, 2012 Revised October 12, 2012 Page 5 of 7 feet and a maximum height of four and a half (4.5) feet to meet the forty percent (40%) threshold. The revised plans indicate that the attached car wash will be twenty-seven and a half (27.5) feet from the northern property boundary (Parkway street designation). The site will also include a combination of decorative fencing (Ameristar Echelon Series four [4] feet tall) and shrubs to create the required street edge. Calculations were provided that verify the combination of decorative fencing and shrubbery exceeds the required forty percent (40%) street frontage threshold. The proposed building location is generally consistent with Development Plan 6. 1, which the City's Housing and Redevelopment Authority has approved and will be considered by the City Council as part of the Design Framework ordinance amendment on October 23, 2012. Exterior Materials. The application includes two (2) sheets of architectural elevations, Sheet A3 (building elevations) and Sheet CAI (canopy elevations). The exterior finish of the building appears to consist of face brick, brick accent bands, clear tempered glass and dark bronze metal panels. The exterior finish of the columns supporting the overhead canopy for the fueling islands appear to match that of the principal building including face brick and brink accent bands. Waste Storage: The waste storage area is proposed to be contained in an enclosure near the northwest corner of the building. Exterior materials should be complimentary and consistent with the proposed building. The exterior materials appear to be consistent with the exterior of the building and include a wood composite gate for access. It appears that the western two (2) parking stalls may block access to the waste enclosure; however, based on the September 28, 2012 responses to the Staff Review Letter, to ensure access to the waste enclosure, these two (2) stalls will be `coned off during scheduled waste removal pick-ups. Off -Street Parking - Spaces Required: The COR -2 Commercial Sub -District sets a minimum parking space standard of two (2) spaces per 1,000 square feet and a maximum of four (4) spaces per 1,000 square feet for retail uses. The site plan proposes twelve (12) off-street parking spaces, which complies with the parking standards within the Design Framework. Signs: Please note that all signs for the proposed building must be approved through a separate sign permit process. Sign regulations can be found within the Design Framework as well as in City Code Chapter 117, Article II, Division 8. The developer is encouraged to review these sign regulations early in the process to avoid any unnecessary delays due to potential needs for special permits. No dimensions are provided for any of the proposed signs and thus, only general feedback is possible at this time, which includes the following: • Dynamic display signs are limited to no more than thirty-five percent (3501o) of the proposed signage. However, the City is considering an amendment to this specific provision. Your feedback is appreciated on a size of dynamic display that is desirable for your needs. • Additional information must be provided regarding the LED accent lighting. Any bulb emitting greater than 3,000 lumens (150) watts must be directed such that the bulb is not visible from off the property where such light source is located.
