glass windows/doors. The building has been designed with 4-sided architecture as outlined in the COR Design Framework. The rooftop patio space also provides an amenity currently not offered anywhere within The COR. Site Plan The building is proposed to be thirteen (13) feet from the property line along Sunwood Dive, which does comply with the COR Design Framework and one of the contingencies from the 2021 approval. The Applicant did modify the Site Plan by eliminating a drive-thru that had previously been proposed and consolidating access to a single point off Yolite Street. A small patio area is proposed between the building and Sunwood Drive for the cafe patrons. There are twenty-one (21) proposed parking stalls, including two (2) handicap spaces. Parking with The COR is subject to the following: LUse liMinimum # of Parking Stalls °Maximum # of Parking Stalls (Retail 112 stalls per 1,000 square feet 'IL4 stalls per 1,000 square feet L0ffis112 stalls per 1,000 square feet '"Lstalls per 1,000 square feet (Restaurants 111 stall per 2 seats 111 stall per 1 seat [esidentia1jI 1 per unit 112 per unit J J More information about seating for the cafe is required to verify compliance with the parking standards. But, a minimum of eight (8) stalls are required for the retail, office, and residential spaces, which leaves thirteen (13) spaces for the cafe use. Screening, in the form of a decorative wall, railing, hedge, or some combination thereof, will be required along a portion of Yolite Street and along Veterans Drive. Plat The Subject Property is currently an outlot and thus, a Minor Plat is necessary to convert the Subject Property into a buildable lot. No new roads are needed and utility services are already available. Minor modifications to the Plat are required as the City is no longer the owner of the Subject Property (the Applicant purchased the Subject Property from the City late in 2021). Alternatives Alternative 1: Motion to recommend approval of the Site Plan and Minor Plat and provide direction on the preferred method to address the residential units in the COR-2 subdistrict. This project previously received approval by the City in 2021; however, the Applicant was and is still fundraising, and thus, the previous approvals expired. The Applicant did incorporate the revisions that were identified during the original review and approval process into this plan set. This project will result in the first true vertically mixed -use building within The COR. Staff supports this alternative. Alternative 2: Motion to recommend the City Council not approve the Site Plan or Minor Plat based on certain findings. The civil plans were revised address previously identified issues from 2021, such as compliance with the build -to requirements, adjustments to access, and eliminating the drive-thru component. This project will be the first true vertically mixed -used building within The COR, something that has always been part of the vision. This project also will provide the first rooftop patio within The COR, an exciting new amenity. Staff does not support this alternative. Funding Source: The Applicant is responsible for all costs associated with this application. Recommendation:
