The plans no,,,,- show an additional public access on Zeolite Street, adjacent to the truck ac'cess. This second access on Zeolite should also be eliminated from the plan for public safety reasons because of its proximity to the truck entrance and the comer intersection of Zeolite and Civic Center Drive. Building Height: The TC-2 [District states buildings must be 1 -3 stories in height. The proposed structure is one story and therefore meets the height requirements. Parking Standards: Since there will be shared parking on the entirety of Block 1, the parking requirements tbr Lot i and 2 will be reviewed in total at this time. City Code states that 4 parking spaces are required for each 1,000 square feet of retail space and 5 spaces are requk'ed for every 1,000 square feet of restaurant space. There is ultimately 92,000 square feet of retail and 8,000 square t'eer of restaurant planned for Lot 1 and 5,000 square feet of retail proposed for Lot 2. This equates to a minimum of 428 par!ring spaces (40 restaurant and 388 retail). The preliminary site plan indicates that approximately 451 spaces will be provided.' City Code also states that a development cannot exceed parking stall minimums by more .than 25%, the site plan is providing an additional 23 parking stalls, which is only a .05% increase. The site plan meets parking requirements established in City Code. Loading Docks: The loading docks are located in the southeast corner of the building and will receive access from Zeolite Street. A 12 foot high precast, smooth face, aggregate wall is proposed to screen the loading dock activity from public view. Staff finds this proposal extreme {y acceptable.

The submittals are deficient of this requirement and must be modified accordingly.
