the site, each spaced at least 150 feet from the centerlines of Pearson Street and Snowy Owl Street, across Riverdale Drive from the site. This spacing will help facilitate safer traffic patterns into and out of the Subject Property. The west building is designed to have the main retail entrance at its southeast corner, adjacent to the customer parking and close to the west driveway. The climate -controlled self -storage portion of the west building will have a separate entrance and loading area along the east side of the building. This building will be three stories tall, with a maximum roof height of 38.25 feet and a top -of -parapet height of 42.25 feet. The east building is designed for U-Haul's U-Box storage, which consists of pod -like storage containers stacked inside the building. This building will have its main entrance facing westward, adjacent to customer parking stalls. There will also be a loading dock along the south side of the building. This building will technically be one story tall, although the clearance height will be taller to accommodate the stacking of the U-box units. This building will have a maximum roof height of 45 feet and a top -of -parapet height of 47.5 feet. The five garage -style buildings along the north side of the site will each have twenty garage doors (ten on each long side), resulting in 100 garage -style storage units. These buildings are not proposed to be climate -controlled, and there will be no dedicated parking stalls for any of these five buildings. However, there will be 30-foot-wide drive aisles between each of these buildings to allow for customers to drive up to their respective storage unit to load and unload items. Lastly, the check -in canopy is proposed to be located in the center of the site, just north of a 200-foot-long staging area for rental trucks and trailers. This canopy is intended to be the "landing spot" for customers looking to return rental equipment. The canopy will be built for drive -through operations, and will have a clearance height of 14 feet, which will accommodate all of U-Haul's rental trucks and trailers. Each of these buildings will be 10 feet tall. Architecture and Building Elevations All seven buildings are designed to consist primarily of insulated metal panels (Metl-Span Santa Fe) with a stucco appearance. This material is considered an "other material as may be approved by the Planning Commission and City Council given the building's use and context." Metals otherwise are limited to an accent material on the building. The panels proposed by the Applicant will have a higher level of finish than traditional metal panels. Accent materials include lyrical articulated accent fins (in orange, lime green, and teal), dark -brown walnut lap siding, tilt -up concrete, and metal trim. The west building will also have storefront windows on the second and third floors at all four corners of the building, as well as a storefront window design on the first floor at the southeast corner of the building, surrounding the retail showroom. The garage doors on the west and east buildings will consist of ultra -grain walnut material, whereas the garage doors on the north storage buildings will be orange metal, similar to the company's branding. Signage The east and west buildings are proposed to have signage that meets City Code reqirements. No signage is proposed to be installed on the garage -style buildings and no freestanding, monument, or directional signs are proposed. If the Applicant chooses to add any additional signs to the site, they will be subject to regulations in City Code. Parking The site is not expected to have a large need for employee and visitor parking. Most of the parking on site will be for the rental vehicles and trailers. A condition is included in the CUP resolution that requires the installation of "no parking" signs along Riverdale Drive so that trucks and trailers are not parked off site. Landscaping Plan As noted in the Environmental Policy Board's (EPB) staff report from July 15th, the submittal includes a Landscape Plan for the project. The landscaping is focused primarily along the east and west sides of the Subject Property as well as along Riverdale Drive. Staff requested various minor revisions to the original plan set, and it
