The project does include an exterior trash enclosure near the northeastern corner of the building. The Applicant provided an elevation that confirms the exterior finish of the enclosure will match that of the building. Variance The COR-2 zoning district does not have minimum required setbacks from the side or rear property boundaries. However,there is a build-to requirement from the building front to the public road right-of-way of no more than fifteen(15) feet(Sunwood Drive is designated as a Destination Street). As proposed, no part of the building meets the build-to requirement. The northeast corner of the building(the portion nearest to Sunwood Drive)is about seventeen(17) feet from the right-of-way boundary. Sunwood Drive was realigned circa 2012-2013 to accommodate the Armstrong Boulevard overpass. While the road was realigned,the existing utilities, including trunk sewer and trunk water lines, remained in place, as they were serving the western most building within this retail node. These utilities, as well as the existing drainage and utility easement that encumbers the northern half of the Subject Property,prevent the building from meeting the build-to standard. Furthermore, not just the drainage and utility easement,but the utilities themselves, create barriers to a knee wall or other decorative means to create the desired street presence. Even as proposed, a small portion of the building encroaches into the drainage and utility easement. Staff is working with the Applicant to address this with either a partial Easement Vacation or an Easement Encroachment Agreement(this aspect will be brought back to a future City Council meeting for action).
