To the northeast are Mo-Kan Container Company and Kelly-Hill Construction. The properties to the north and east are undeveloped at this point. It is bound on the west by Mattox Road and south by proposed strd 41 Street. The site will have 3 access points. One off Mattox Road directly across from 43 Street and st two off of 41 Street. The building will run north-south with the office / main entrance located at the southwest corner. Open space is being retained on the northern portion of the site to allow for future building expansion. Standard car parking is provided on the west side of the building. Additionally, a small amount is proposed just south of the office area. There is adjacent green space next to both of these parking areas which will provide opportunities for parking lot expansions. Truck parking and loading / unloading areas and docks will be located on the east side of the building. A 26 foot wide gravel fire loop drive will be located north of the building and will allow emergency vehicles access to all sides of the building. Parking: The plan proposes 278 standard auto parking spaces, 8 ADA parking spaces and 10 motorcycle spaces. These spaces are designated for customers and employees. Potential parking lot expansions include an additional 96 stalls on the south side of the building and 107 stalls on the west side. Truck trailer parking is provided on the east side of the building with 43 spaces. The applicant has expansion plans in place for an additional 14 truck trailer spaces to the south of the original parking area and 18 spaces to the north. The potential expansion of 14 truck trailer spaces to the south would bring this utilitarian area closer to the front of the site and beyond the front line of the building, which is not in- line with the development standards outlined in the UDO. 12 Page of st Infrastructure: The site has direct access to streets via Mattox Road and proposed 41 Street. Sanitary st sewer and gas is being extended along 41 Street. Water and electric connections are available from Mattox Road. Stormwater will be handled by on site detention and a regional detention base north east of the site. Outdoor Storage: There is no outdoor storage of products or materials proposed for this site. However, due to the nature of the business, truck trailers will be parked on-site to allow finished products to be quickly delivered to the purchaser. The truck trailer parking is not located adjacent to a public right-of- way and will be screened with landscaping elements. Building Design: The building will be constructed of insulated precast concrete wall panels. As the proposed building is a manufacturing facility few windows are included. The southwest corner of the building containing the entrance and office areas involves the most architectural elements with windows, a canopy at the entrance and some brick accenting. The applicant is perusing LEED Silver certification for this project. Landscaping: Landscaping, entailing a mix of trees and shrubs, is proposed throughout the site. There are a total of 170 trees and 103 shrubs shown on the landscape plan. Landscaping is proposed for future expansion areas, however, the planting of these elements may be deferred for two years. If no activity occurs regarding expansion of the area, the property owner will be required to install the landscaping in accordance with the approved landscaping plan. Comprehensive Master Plan : Throughout the development of the Comprehensive Master Plan it was articulated by participants that improving community image/character and the quality and design of buildings was a key concern. Additionally, the Comprehensive Master Plan identifies the site as part of the ‘Horizons Development’, which is ultimately envisioned to include a mix of innovation and industry, mixed use, destination office, destination retail and recreation. Recommendation In general, staff finds the application in conformance with the standards set forth in the UDO and the goals established in the Comprehensive Master Plan and therefore recommends approval of the application with the following stipulations: The future truck trailer parking consisting of 14 stalls located south of the original parking area shall be removed to keep utilitarian areas further from public view. Planting of landscaping shown in future expansion areas may be deferred for two years. If no activity occurs regarding expansion of an area, landscaping shall be installed in accordance with the approved landscaping plan. A lighting plan shall be submitted to staff. Proposed lighting will conform to all development standards and be considerate of public views, light pollution and site aesthetics.
