Development Agreement: An executed Development Agreement for the site improvements will be required <br />prior to releasing the plat for recording. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Site Plan Review <br /> <br />Surfacing: The Applicant is proposing a completely bituminous parking lot which is an acceptable material <br />within The COR. The current plan set shows a bituminous parking lot with entrances off of Zeolite Street and <br />Veterans Drive. The Applicant has set up the parking lot for future expansion to the east to connect to the <br />future development. This will require a cross-access easement recorded against the properties. <br /> <br />Waste Storage: Elevations provided show the trash enclosure in the parking lot near the outlot for the <br />transformer. <br /> <br />Lighting: The plan set shows two (2) lighting fixtures, one each in the center of the center parking medians. City <br />Code requires that lighting used to illuminate an off-street parking area be arranged to deflect light away from <br />adjacent residential districts or public streets. The photometric plan indicates that no illumination will spread <br />beyond the bounds of the site which is in compliance with City Code. <br /> <br />Parking: City Code Section 117-356 addresses commercial development off-street parking requirements. That <br />code indicates that for 90 degree parking stalls, that the stall widths be a minimum of 9 feet wide, that the stall <br />depth be a minimum of 18 feet deep, and that the drive aisle between stalls be a minimum of 24 feet deep. The <br />plans provided show parking stalls and drive aisles which adhere to those dimensional requirements. <br /> <br />The plans provided show a total of 50 parking spaces including 2 handicap parking spaces. The Citys Zoning <br />Code lays out requirements for health clubs at 3 spaces per 1000 square feet, which would allow for 27 37 <br />stalls. The Applicant has proposed 50 stalls. This is a unique use with a juice bar, salon, small areas for outdoor <br />dining, and anticipated 30 employees. The proposed parking does feel adequate for the proposed use. <br /> <br />Sidewalks: Boulevards shall be six (6) feet in width and shall be clearly labeled on plan sheets. Sidewalks shall <br />also be six (6) feet in width and be clearly labeled on plan sheets. A sidewalk will be required on Zeolite, <br />Veterans Drive, and Sunwood Drive. <br /> <br />Architectural Review <br />Site Design Framework for this sub-district focus on a unique opportunity to recast typical commercial <br />development patterns into a contemporary and innovative strategy that responds to overall objectives for The <br />COR. Specifically, this suggests that the majority of buildings front on the primary through streets, with parking <br />and service areas on the side or in the back, away from view. However, the market realities suggest that the <br />types of auto-oriented users in this district will have the potential for larger parking fields and drive-thrus that <br />will make a true urban model challenging. The City will hold all users to this design vision while modifying the <br />COR2 standards slightly to accommodate these types of more typical suburban land uses. A mix of uses within <br />individual blocks, including retail, restaurant and residential, further enhances this model, addresses design <br />character/aesthetics and promotes activity throughout much of the day and evening hours. <br /> <br />Buildings in the Commercial Sub-district make a significant contribution to first impressions of The COR. <br />Buildings form gateways at the major entries into the site, architectural elements and choice of materials convey <br />a certain character and the scale or massing of structures begins to define the feel or experience of this place. <br />These are not just buildings, but instead should raise the bar in terms of overall design and specific <br /> <br />
