Description/Background:
The applicants, Win Packer (property and business owner) and Nathan Williams (architect with AJC Architects) are requesting Revised Preliminary Site Plan Review of a proposed professional office building for WHW Engineering on property located at 733 W. 9000 S. The previously reviewed plan contemplated a change to the cross-access easement along the southern end of the subject property. That easement was not able to be changed and the site plan has caused significant changes to the proposed site plan. The Planning Commission is the land use authority for commercial site plan review in the Convenience Commercial (CVC) zoning district. The office use is a permitted use in this zoning district.
For a full detailed staff report, please see the attached file.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission determine that preliminary site plan review is complete for the proposed WHW Engineering Office, located at 733 W. 9000 S., based on the staff report, and following two findings and subject to the following eight conditions:
Findings:
1. The use is a permitted use in the CVC zoning District.
2. Building and site design will minimize potential adverse impacts to the abutting residential community and will still allow reasonable use and development of the property.
Conditions:
1. That the developer proceeds through the final site plan review process with staff prior to the start of any construction. The final site plan shall comply with all Development Code requirements and those modifications required or allowed by the Planning Commission.
2. That the developer consult with a Landscape Architect as to the design of an enhanced tree planting plan that will maximize the potential noise and light buffering effect as possible, within the 10-foot-wide landscaping buffer strip located on the south property boundary, with said plan to be approved by City staff before landscaping installation begins.
3. That the development complies with all Building & Safety, Fire and Life Safety Codes applicable to this type of use.
4. That the requested approximate three percent (one parking stall) parking reduction be granted by the Community Development Director upon his satisfaction that the reduction is justified by a future Parking Demand Analysis or Market Demand Analysis during final site plan review by City staff.
5. All utility boxes (i.e., transformers, switchgear, telephone, cable TV, etc.) shall be shown on the site plan and shall be placed underground or moved behind the front setback of the buildings and screened from view. Each box shall be shown in its exact location and shall be noted with its exact height, width, and length. Building utility meters shall be mounted to the side or rear elevation or screened.
6. That the developer be responsible for the placement of a temporary six foot (6’) tall chain link fence around the perimeter of the project during the construction phase of the project for security. Said fence shall also be required to include fabric to prohibit blowing dust problems if it becomes necessary or if it is required by the Community Development Department during Site Plan Review.
7. That the applicant complies with all department requirements as noted in all Preliminary Review letters prior to submittal for final site plan review with staff.
8. That all signage be reviewed and approved under separate permits and be in conformance with City Code.
