CASE REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW; CASE OF AMSCO By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: A1 Harp of AMSCO has submitted a site plan for an expansion to their existing facility at 14021 Azurite Street N,W. AMSCO manufactures coating materials primarily for recreational uses such as tennis courts and running tracks. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) d) Site location map Certificate of survey Site Plan (3 sheets) City Staff review letter dated December 28, 1992 Observations: The proposed expansion consists of a 1,200 square foot office area and a 1,600 square foot cold storage area. The expansion is in compliance with City Code standards with respect to lot coverage and setbacks. The 5 parking spaces currently existing on the site meet the minimum code requirements for one space per employee on the maximum working shift. The applicant should be required to extend the existing off-street parking area 20 feet to the north to provide additional parking for customers and better access to the northern overhead bay. City Code requires that driveways, off-street parking areas and loading areas be paved and curbed. These existing areas of the parcel are currently not paved. The applicant should be required to pave and curb the driveway, off-street parking area and all loading areas. Pending improvements to Azurite Street N.W., the paving and curbing of the driveway should only be required up to a point that would be representative of the street right-of-way. With regarding to Azurite Street N.W., it is currently a non-public, unimproved roadway which has been maintained by the City for approximately 10 years. The City will not accept the street for public purpose until it is brought up to standards. The agreement entered into with the applicant for the expansion is proposed to obligate the permittee to participate in any petition for improvements to the area. "- The applicant is proposing that the exterior walls of the expansion will be of 100% metal materials. Code requires 50% other than metal on any wall adjacent to existing or furore streets or structures. The existing structure on the parcel is constructed of concrete block. Recommendation: City Staff recommends site plan approval contingent upon revising the site plan to include the paving and curbing the off-street parking area, loading areas and driveway; and amending the building plans, preferably to a concrete block construction, to meet the minimum code requirements with respect to architectural standards. Commission Action: Motion to: Recommend that City Council grant site plan approval to AMSCO contingent upon compliance with City Staff's review letter dated December 28, 1992.
