<br />Site Plan Review: GNfIExpansion <br />August 31, 2006 <br />Page 2 of4 <br /> <br />Architectural Standards: Within the E-l Employment District, exterior wall finishes on <br />buildings must consist of brick, stucco, glass, wood, stone, pre-cast panels whose surfaces <br />have decorative material or texture, or other materials as approved by the City Council. The <br />. site plan indicates the expansion will be painted concrete block to match the existing building <br />(the existing building is unpainted rock face block). Please clarify what material is proposed <br />for the expansion. Color renderings of building elevations are requested to be shown at the <br />Planning Commission meeting. <br /> <br />Waste Storage: City Code requires waste storage facilities to be enclosed. <br /> <br />Off-Street Parking - Spaces Required: City Code requires one parking stall for every 1,000 <br />square feet of manufacturing/warehouse space and one stall for every 300 square feet of . <br />office space. The site plan indicates that the expanded building will consist of 4,000 square <br />feet of office space (13 stalls required) and 15,920 square feet of warehouse space (16 stalls.. <br />required), for a total of 29 parking stalls. There are 15 striped parking stalls currently on the <br />site; the site plan indicates there is space for at least 43 parking stalls. Staff is recommending <br />that at least 29 parking stalls be striped once the expansion plans are complete. <br /> <br />Off-Street Parking - Design: The site plan indicates that the parking area will be blacktop <br />with concrete curbs and gutters. <br /> <br />Lighting: City standards require that the luminaire (light source) must not be visible from <br />beyond the property line. Shop drawings for any new lighting fixtures must be submitted to <br />the City for approval prior to installation. <br /> <br />Sign age: Any new signage on the property will require a sign permit, which is approved <br />separately from the site plan. <br /> <br />Landscaping: The submitted landscaping plan is generally acceptable with the following <br />comments: <br /> <br />r <br /> <br />. City Code requires one new tree per 1,000 sq. ft. of building footprint expansion. <br />Thus, a minimum often (10) trees are required. The proposed plantings exceed <br />the minimum requirements. <br />. A species other than Norway Maple should be considered. <br />. Planting depth shall be such that the trunk flare is at or just above grade level. <br />Trees planted too deeply will be rejected. <br />. At installation, only prune branches that are broken or deformed (do NOT prune <br />1/3 of foliage as shown in the tree planting detail). <br />. Any pruning cuts that are necessary shall be made just outside the branch cotlar, <br />NOT flush with badc <br />. All areas not otherwise improved in accordance with the approved site plan must'. <br />be sodded; the landscape plan indicates that seed will be used. All landscaped <br />areas must also be irrigated. The proposed irrigation system will need to be <br />reviewed by the City Engineer. The irrigation system will need a dedicated <br /> <br />57 <br />
