The grading, drainage, and utility plans will need to be revised in accordance with the Staff Review Letter dated June 11, 2004, revised June 18, 2004. The revised landscaping plan is acceptable. The office building is proposing to derive access from Sunwood Drive and 145"~ Avenue. The access off of Sunwood Drive will be a shared access between the office building and future development on the adjacent outlot. The proposed TC-3 District requires buildings to be two to three stories in height. The site plan is proposing a two-store office building, which meets requirements. The site plan is also meeting parking space requirements. The office building will provide on and off street parking spaces to satisfy parking requirements. The proposed office building and related site layout meets the guidelines established in the three key sections within the TC-3 District; Public Realm/Streetscape, Site Development, and Architecture. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon advised the Planning Commission reviewed the site plan on June 17, 2004. The applicant provided a revised site plan to the Planning Commission reflecting comments in the Staff Review Letter. The overhead door was relocated fi~rther away from the intersection of 145th Avenue and Peridot Street as directed by staff. The applicant also stated that they will paint the overhead door to match the overall building color scheme. The overhead garage door area is intended to be utilized for storing refuse containers and occasionally LIPS deliveries will enter through this access. The purpose of the access m~d overhead door is not designed or intended to be utilized as a loading berth. The site plan was also revised to provide lentils along the ground level windows. The proposed lentils will provide an added dimension to the already high quality building. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the site plan contingent upon compliance with City Staff City Council/June 22, 2004 Page 25 of 32
