Delineate edge of patio with planters, planter boxes, or another edging treatment to help clearly identify public and private areas. Off-street parking and access The applicant has proposed a parking area located on the south part of the lot, with two proposed parking accesses along Yolite Street NW. There are 14 parking stalls proposed, which includes two accessible stalls located closest to the building. The parking standards in the COR District are as follows: 2 stalls per 1,000 square feet for retail and office uses and 3 stalls per 1,000 square feet for restaurant uses. A more detailed breakdown of the floorplan would enable staff to calculate the required stalls for the building. Drive thru: The applicant has proposed a drive thru. Adequate stacking distance of not less than five vehicles shall be provided. The site plan should more clearly define the drive thru area and must demonstrate the provision for stacking space does not interfere with other drive areas, parking spaces, sidewalks, or pedestrian access to the main entry of the building. Screening shall be provided of automobile headlights in the drive-thru lane to windows and doors of adjacent uses. Screening must be at least three feet in height at installation and fully opaque, consisting of a wall, fence, dense vegetation, berm or grade change. • Contingency of Approval: Modify drive-thru onsite to meet stacking requirements and safe traffic entrances. Provide a stacking diagram and ensure that the diagram shows headlight direction and update with screening onsite if needed. Add bike rack to site. Residential Component The floor plan on the second floor shows three apartment units. The Subject Property is approximately 0.52 acres. This project is the city's first true vertically mixed use (residential/commercial) building. Next Steps Tonight's approval is a contingent approval allowing the Applicant some surety that the City is supportive of the project moving forward. After plans are updated, Staff will bring the project back for final approvals. Additionally, a development agreement must come back for Council approval. Funding Source: Costs associated with this proposal are the responsibility of the Applicant. Recommendation: Staff is supportive of the project moving forward with contingencies and direction as noted throughout the case. Staff recommends approving the project contingent upon approved plans, which require significant engineering updates to ensure the project site functions (e.g. grading, utilities, paving, etc.). Staff will bring the project back after plans are updated for final approval. Staff recommends a contingent approval at this time to allow the Applicant to begin closing on the Subject Property and provide the Applicant some assurance that the City is supportive of the project. Action: Motion to adopt Resolution #21-090 approving the project contingent upon revised plan sheets. Attachments Site Location Map Site Plan Plat Building Elevation
