The submittal is deficient of any proposed landscaping. City Code requires the planting of one (1) overstory tree for <br />every ten (10) parking stalls. These plantings shall be internal to the parking lot (or directly adjacent to it). <br />Additionally, the Subject Property is adjacent to residentially zoned parcels to the south and thus, a bufferyard area <br />is required with additional plantings. As part of the approval of the original Conditional Use Permit, coniferous <br />trees were installed. However, with the expansion of the parking area, this triggers the need for additional plantings <br />to provide screening and a buffer between the differing uses. <br />A majority of the parking expansion will be utilized by future motor vehicle dealer tenants of the adjacent parcel at <br />7850 Riverdale Drive. The expansion includes creating an internal shared access between the Subject Property and <br />the adjacent lot to the west. While Staff is not opposed to this connection, it will require the recording of a Cross <br />Access Easement against both properties. <br />Alternatives <br />Alternative #1: Adopt Resolutions #16-04-069 and #16-04-070 approving the request for an amended Conditional <br />Use Permit contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review Letter dated April 1, 2016. Staff is not opposed to <br />the requested amendment as long as the modifications outlined in the Staff Review Letter are incorporated into the <br />Site Plan. Staff supports this alternative. <br />Alternative #2: Adopt modified versions of Resolutions #16-04-069 and #16-04-070. Modifications could include <br />requiring striping of the entire site, not just the dedicated customer stalls, alternative screening (such as a privacy <br />fence), and/or other items based on discussion. <br />Alternative #3: Do not approve the request for an amended Conditional Use Permit. The current use of the Subject <br />Property is authorized through an existing Conditional Use Permit. The proposed expansion is acceptable as long as <br />it is in accordance with the provisions of City Code. Staff does not support this alternative. <br />Funding Source: <br />All costs associated with this request are the Applicant's responsibility. <br />Recommendation: <br />City Staff recommends approval of the amended Conditional Use Permit contingent on compliance with the Staff <br />Review Letter dated April 1, 2016. <br />Action: <br />Motion to recommend City Council approve Resolutions #16-04-069 and #16-04-070 granting an amended <br />Conditional Use Permit to Bethel Properties, LLC, contingent on compliance with the Staff Review Letter dated <br />April 1, 2016. <br />Attachments <br />Site Location Map <br />Site Plan <br />Aerial View of Subject Property <br />Staff Review Letter <br />Resolution #16-04-069: DRAFT Findings of Fact <br />Resolution #16-04-070: DRAFT Amended Conditional Use Permit <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Tim Gladhill Tim Gladhill 04/01/2016 03:42 PM <br />
