Case #9: Request for Site Plan Review for Mallard Ponds Office Building: Case of Bulow, Inc. Principal Planner Trudgeon stated that Bulow Inc. is proposing to construct a 6,000 square foot multi-tenant office building at the northeast comer of Dysprosium Street and County Highway 116. The applicant is proposing to develop a one-story, multi-tenant office building consisting of 6,000 square feet. The site plan indicates the building will be split into four, 1500 square foot office spaces. The site is currently zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD). The Development Agreement for the Mallard Ponds subdivision, which this lot is part of, contained language that allowed the subject property to be developed as a commercial lot. The Development Agreemel}t allows for the subject property to be developed with a use allowed under either a B-1 or B-2 Business zoning classification. Multi-tenant office uses are allowed in both the B-1 and B-2 Business Zoning Districts. The building location exceeds the 35-foot front and rear yard and 20- foot side yard setback requirements. City Code requires a 20-foot green space area adjacent to all public roads. The site plan shown does not meet this requirement. The parking area is shown as close as ten feet from the edge of the fight-of-way. In addition, City Code requires the developer to provide a 40-foot landscape buffer along the property line when adjacent to a residential area, as is the case on the eastern border of the site. The site plan as shown does not meet this requirement. The applicant has applied for a variance from both the 20-foot green space and 40-foot buffer area requirements. The variance was granted by the Board of Adjustment at their October 10, 2002 meeting. The original grading plan submitted was unacceptable. The applicant has submitted a revised grading plan that is generally acceptable subject to a few comments from the City Engineer. City sewer and water are available to the site and the building will be serviced from the sewer and water line located in 140th Avenue. City Code specifies that exterior wall finishes shall consist of natural or prefabricated brick or stone or integrally treated pre-cast concrete panels or other materials as approved by City Council. The building elevation plan indicates that the exterior wall materials for the office structure will consist of faux ledgestone and stucco which meets City requirements. The landscaping plan provided to the City has been reviewed and found acceptable. Staff does have some concerns regarding the existing bituminous path on the property, as referenced in the staff review letter, City Council/October 22, 2002 Page 25 of 37
