Review File: Rezoning, Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Preliminary and Final Plat, Shoreland <br />Overlay Variance, and Site Plan Review: Regency Commons <br />January 27, 2017 <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />The proposed amendment meets the above criteria. <br />Staff finds that the proposed request for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment would not have an adverse <br />effect on public infrastructure or safety and recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan <br />Amendment and Re -Zoning of the Subject property. <br />Shoreland Overlay Variance Review <br />The Applicant is currently proposing a site plan that would result in Lot 1 of Regency Commons having a <br />total impervious area of 54.7%. City Code Section 117-225 Subd. (g)(4) b. 1. limits the amount of <br />impervious surface of the lot area to 25% when any portion of the lot is located in the Shoreland Overlay <br />District. <br />In reviewing the site plan as proposed, the portion of Lot 1 located within the Shoreland Overlay District <br />is shown as remaining completely pervious as it is within the required sixty (60) foot landscape buffer. In <br />addition, the E-1 Employment District has a maximum lot (building) coverage requirement of 45% which <br />the Applicant is also required to meet. <br />Information was sent to the MN DNR for review and comment and Staff has not received a response yet. <br />Staff recommends approval of the Shoreland Overlay variance as requested. <br />Site Plan Review <br />Staff offers the following comments as a general staff review of the Site Plan in comparison to the City's <br />zoning code. <br />Lot Coverage Calculations. The E-1 district allows a maximum lot coverage of 45%. The Applicant is <br />currently showing a lot coverage calculation of 54.7% (which includes parking surfaces and buildings). <br />However, the building coverage, including the two (2) `future' buildings, is well below the 45% threshold. <br />Setbacks: The required setbacks are outlined below. <br />Setbacks <br />Front Buildin' Setback: 35 feet <br />Rear Buildin l Setback: 35 feet <br />Side Buildin ` Setback: 20 feet <br />Major and minor arterials and county and state roadways: <br />60 feet from centerline of road right-of-way plus the local <br />a s licable setback (60 feet + 35 feet = 95 feet) <br />Setbacks when ad'acent to residential district: <br />Buildin ` s: 60 feet <br />Off-street s arkin, , stora a areas, and drivewa s: 40 feet <br />Mai IYl'/Ili_tadS}I4 ICI)iii.'i .Nish yjaSl]GS'N X <br />80 feet <br />90.5 feet <br />95 feet <br />138 feet <br />90.5 feet <br />60.5 feet <br />20 feet <br />Proposed: <br />' . 20 f <br />
