F..o~a~y~ ~ v'stems Site ?tan Review June ^~, 2004 Architectural Standards: City. Oode~. restricts buiidin_o_ ~ae~_nt'_~' to 6_{ fe~' and ~xtenor' wall finishes ~o natural or pr~hbrica~ed back or stone or pre-cast concrete panels or some o~er ma[enai approved by City Council. ~e exterior of ~he buildin~ will consist of ~xposed ao.~c, at~ pr~-casl concrs:e paneis~ wi:h some rock face b~ock accents around ~e front ent~ door. This proposal mes:s Ci~ Code requirements. The buildin~ elevations shown on the pl~s indicate :ha: ~e building height will be 27 f~et, w~ch complies with Ci~ Code. Loading Docks/Berths: City. Code requires one off-street loading area for the first 10',000 square fee*, of floor area and one additional dock/ber'j~, for each additional 2J,O00 square fee*, of floor area. A minimum of two (2.) loading are~ is required and the site plan proposes three (3) docks and ~wo (2) overhead dave-in doors. In accordance with City. Code, the loading areas are located on r.he mar wall of the building -and ~e 3 docks can meet ~e 50 foot minimum dave aisle lengnh established in City Code. Waste Storage: City. Code requires that all solid waste and refuse receptacles be stored within a completely screened structure or container. The submiued site plan identifies a rock face block enclosure on the rear wall of the building, with a lockable cedar wood gate. "lnis complies with City. Code requirements. Off-Street Parking - Spaces Required: CiK.~ Code requires 1 parMng space per 300 square feet of office space. The Code does not establish a minimum parking requ/remenr for warehouse space, so for purposes of th/s review the indus,-iai requirement of 1 space per 1,000 square feet will be applied. The building is proposed to have 6,015 square feet of office space and 23,577 s~uar= feet of wareixouse s'oace. TNs equates to a requirement for a minimum of 45 parking spaces; the site plan identifies 42 parking spaces. T'he discrepancy is a result of the proposal to provide I parking space for each 1,200 square feet of warehouse space. It is staff's opinion that 1 space for each 1,200 squar~ fee', of warehouse space is sufficient and will be recommending approval of the parking ptan az proposed. Off Street Partdng - Design: In accordance with City, Code, all parking and maneuvering are~ will be surfaced with bituminous and the perimeter of all pavement will be fir. fished with B6/12 concrete curbing. Drainage and Grading: Drainage from the sire is conveyed through overland flow and storm sewer to an existing catchbasin manhole located approximately 30 feet south of the north prope~y Line. A stub has be~n provided into this catchbasin manhole to accept runoff~ from this prop=ny. The capaciu of rite stub provided in adequate to handle the runoff from Uh_is development. Flow from tints catchbasin is transmitted to a regional pond which provides detention and water qualir? treatment. A permit fi'om the Lower Rum ?dyer Water Management Organization ,,viii be required. Act:ess: One access is proposed to the site from Azurire Street N.W. 39
