8. That the proposed oil and lube bay services are permitted uses in the H-1 District. 9. That the expansion to the Facility would increase the total lot coverage to 14.4%, which is in compliance with the 35% restriction established in City Code. 10. That the proposed expansion would meet the 10 foot side yard setback from the common property line with Lot 1, Block 1 Sunfish Commons. 11. That the proposed expansion would be constructed with a stucco and brick finish to match the existing building. 12. That City Code requires a total of 48 parking spaces for the existing and proposed uses at the Facility; the site plan identifies 50 parking spaces, 5 of which include the 2 bays within the oil service area and stacking space for 3 vehicles outside the oil change service area. 13. That part of the site plan application includes relocating the vacuum island to the drainage and utility easement along the north side of the Subject Property. 14. That approval to locate the vacuum island in a public easement would set a precedent for the use of a public easement. 15. That the access to the Facility from Sunfish Lake Blvd. is a major access point that accommodates many traffic movements and the proposed expansion would require the reduction of the pavement width between the existing vacuum island and the terrace along Sunfish Lake Boulevard from 50 feet to 30 feet. 16. That the proposed oil service bays would also significantly impact the sight distance for the ingress and egress traffic movements from Sunfish Lake Boulevard to the strip mall on Lot 1, Block 2, Sunfish Commons. 17. That although there are no performance standards in City Code for regulating interior traffic patterns on a site, City Staff prepared an Exhibit of Internal Traffic Patterns regarding the Subject Property, attached hereto as Exhibit A, that identifies traffic safety concerns with traffic flow, site congestion, sight lines and general safety as it relates to the proposed expansion. 18. That the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed site plan on July 7, 2005, and recommended approval based on the following: a) the expansion does not represent a significant change to the current site layout; b) limited amount of traffic generated by the oil change service; c) relocation of vacuum island to north side of site entrance is not sufficient cause for denial of site plan; d) lack of established performance standards in City Code for internal traffic flow and patterns.
