Public Hearing- UDO Amendments
Chair Bowman opened the Public Hearing at 7:01 p.m.
Jackie Carlson explained that the City has been working with
Sullivan Publication to make non-discretionary changes to the
City’s Municipal Code to bring it into compliance with state
statutes. Later this year staff plans to work on some discretionary
changes with the Planning Commission to the UDO. Some
highlights of the changes being made at this time include added
language to the process for appeals to the Board of Zoning
Adjustment to allow for neighborhood organizations to appeal.
Also changing a quorum for the Planning Commission from 7
members to 6 members and changing the distance between
billboards from 2,000 feet to 1,400 feet. Also removing the
section and any references to change of use permits as they are
not legal.
Commissioner Frakes asked if we could table the public hearing
for the UDO amendments until after we heard the other items on
the agenda. Commissioner Soler seconded and the public hearing
was tabled at 7:06 p.m.
Final Development Plan- Corner Café Headquarters-
Jackie Carlson explained that the applicant, Corner Café is
requesting approval of a final development plan to remodel the
1
4523 NW Gateway
former location of Blue Ridge Bank and remove its status as a
temporary building. In 2002 the Planning Commission approved
a special use permit to allow a modular structure to be the
temporary location of Blue Ridge Bank with annual review.
Since that time no review has been done. Corner Café is
proposing to fix the building up and make it into their corporate
headquarters. Staff feels that after 10 plus years in the community
the building is more of a permanent structure then a temporary
building and feels like the remodel is consistent with the Master
Plan and recommends approval.
Commissioner Bowman asked if the building met code.
James Fuller, Building Official explained that a modular building
has to meet the same codes that were adopted for a permanent
building at the time of construction. He also added that the
applicant will have to submit plans for the remodel that he will
approve as well as pass various inspections during the remodel
process.
Commissioner Frakes moved to recommend approval of the Final
Development Plan for Corner Café Headquarters at 4523 NW
Gateway to the Board of Aldermen.
Commissioner Soler seconded and the motion passed 7-0.
Final Development Plan- Classic Parts of America Expansion- 1 Chevy Duty Drive
Carlson explained that the applicant, Classic Parts of America, is
requesting approval of a final development plan for a 33,615 sq.ft.
expansion of their warehouse. They are located on approximately
5.5 acres and are proposing to expand the building approximately
200 feet to the south keeping the existing width. The applicant
currently has outdoor storage and plans to continue that on the
backside of the property. They are proposing to replace the
existing wood fence with a black vinyl coated chain like fence
with a black mesh cover. The applicant is proposing keeping the
same construction for the expansion of the sides of the building
with precast concrete on the bottom and extending the metal walls
at the top, however they are proposing a precast concrete wall
along the bottom and an EIFS on the top on the back side of the
building to be consistent with the requirements of the UDO.
Commissioner Kaspar asked up the applicant planned to match
the expansion on the sides of the building with the existing
structure.
Mark Jansen replied that their goal is to make it look like one
seamless building.
