Regular Planning Commission Meeting Date: 09/06/2018 Submitted For: Tim Gladhill, Community Development By: Eric Maass, Community Development 6. 1. Information Title: Consider Resolution #18-185 Approving Final Plat and Site Plan for Bunker Lake Industrial Park Second Addition (Project #18-130); Case of PSD, LLC Purpose/Background: The purpose of this case is to review the proposed site plan for Bunker Lake Industiral Park Second Addition. While the resolution includes final plat approval, final plat is reviewed only by the City Council. The proposed project is located in the City's new business park located generally south of Bunker Lake Blvd and west of Armstrong Blvd. The proposed building is 60,800 sq ft and would be the third building in the City's new industrial park. Notification: City Staff attempted to notify all property owners within 700 feet of the Subject Property of the request via U.S. mail. Observations/Alternatives: The lot and proposed structure as proposed meet all dimensional standards of the E-3 Employment district. Proposed Building: Lot 1 is proposed to be occupied by a 60,800 square foot and 31 foot 6 inch tall building that appears to be designed for light industrial or warehouse uses. Potential occupancy classifications listed on the plan set include B-Office, F-1, F-2 Manufacturing, M-Showroom, and S-1, S-2 Storage. The building has eight (8) loading dock doors measuring 9 feet wide by 10 feet tall, eight (8) roll -up doors measuring 14 feet tall and 12 feet wide, and eight (8) pedestrian doors facing south. These doors are spread out in eight groupings with one type of each door indicating that building could have up to eight different businesses within the single building. Each of the eight tenant spaces would be 7,600 square feet. The north side (facing Bunker Lake Blvd) of the building would indicate a design for five tenants within the single building based on the number of front entrance doors. The east and west elevation each have one (1) pedestrian door in the center of the building. Parking: Per the city code, one parking stall is required for every 300 square feet of office space or one parking stall per 1,000 square feet of industrial space. The site plan shows a 60,800 square foot building with 125 parking stalls, six (6) of which are shown as handicapped stalls. 100% industrial uses would require a total of 60 spaces whereas 100% office use would require a total of 203 parking spaces. The 125 proposed spaces is more than is required for industrial but less than for office. Staff anticipates a mixture of office/warehouse space and as such it is Staff s opinion that the proposed number of parking spaces is sufficient. Alternatives Alternative 1. Recommend approval of Resolution #18-185 approving site plan of Bunker Lake Industrial Park Second Addition. The proposed site plan is largely consistent with the City's zoning ordinance with minor revisions as noted in the staff review memo. The proposed industrial space will be a benefit to the business community and city as a whole. Staff is supportive of Alternative 1. Alternative 2. Recommend denial of Resolution #18-185 approving site plan of Bunker Lake Industrial Park Second
