Hack Center: Preliminm7~ Site Plan Review March 30, 2007 Page 3 of~. The MU-PUD District limits building height to 45 feet. Tlie proposed buildings aze 25 feet tall to the main roofline, and at most 45 feet tall to the peak of the towers. Staff is recommending that the tower elements be included on the east side of the main building, adjacent to the townhomes on 138't Avenue and Iasper Street, at least at the comers of the buildings. Staff is also recommending that the mechanical equipment on all the buildings be screened, particulazly from the townhome residents to the east Lighting: All exterior lighting on the site must be arranged is such a way to avoid illumination of the public street. The submitted lighting plan conforms to Ciry Code if the bulbs in the exterior light posts are not visible from surrounding properties.. It appears that all illumination will remain oa site or within non-paved right-of--way. Waste Storage: City Code requires that all solid waste and refuse receptacles be stored within a - complztely se;eened structure or container. As noted below, waste storage and disposal for the main buildingwill be completely internal. Waste storage for the restaurant building will be on the east side of the building, and for Building C will be across the pazking azea next to the stormwater pond. Utilities: This facility will be served by municipal sewer and water service which is currently- available to the site. It is recommended that The watermain be looped by extending the proposed system approximately 400 feet through the northern pazking lot area This will provide better fire . protection and increased service reliability since water can be provided from two directions in the event of a water service interruption. This can be particularly significant for businesses which rely oa water to service their customers. One 5re hydrant also needs to be added on the pazking lot island closest to the li9tb Avenue entrance on Riverdale. Off-Street Pazldag - Spaees Required: City Code requires 1 pazking space for each 250 square feet of retail uses over 20,000 square feet, and 1 pazking space for every 3 restaurant seats. Buildings A and B total 110,057 square feet resulting in a need for 440 parking spaces. Building C (proposed restaurant use) will have 160 seats resulting in a need for 53. pazking spaces. Overall, City Code requires 493 parking spaces for the proposed site plan. The. site plan shows 403 parking spaces. Please provide additional information on the leasable square footage of the buildings, so a more complete pazking calculation can be done. Because the project is within the M[J-PUD district, a deviation from the overall pazking requirements u permissible. Staff is of the opinion that some sharing of pazking spaces between the different uses is appropriate, given the multiple buildings on the site and overall site layout. Off Street Parldag -Design: In accordance with City Code, all pazkigg and maneuvering azzas must be surfaced with bituminous and the perimeter of all pavement will be fuushed with B6/12 concrete curbing.
