Parcel A Existing Building — 6,000 square feet (no change) Outdoor Storage — 18,210 square feet — labeled as "existing" on plan* *It is not clear from the plans that this amount of outdoor storage is the approved amount, or the area currently in use. Parcel B New Building — 10,570 square feet Outdoor Storage — 9,800 square feet The plans show a new building, 18 feet in height, with a series of awnings over future tenant entrances, and sign panel locations for up to five tenant occupants. It is staff's understanding that Precision Tree would retain their existing building, and occupy additional space in a portion of the new building as well. The building plan shows an exterior material of rock -faced concrete block, glass entry doors, and overhead access doors facing South Owasso as well. The site plan shows parking all along the building front, so there may be an issue with overhead door access and parking supply. The applicants should specify how these conflicts might occur, and be addressed. The general I -P standards would not permit truck dock locations in the front yard areas — the applicants would have to show the doors will be used for access to inside loading only, and not for the storage of large trucks. For PUD zoning, the City creates a customized zoning district that applies to the site in question, detailing uses and performance standards that are specific to this area only. It is expected that the PUD district for this site would incorporate much of the language from the I -P, Industrial Park District, but with some accommodations to the outdoor storage amounts. Masonry buildings would continue to be the standard, and other performance standards of the I -P District would be adopted by reference. The applicant also anticipates the subdivision of the parcels containing the two buildings, but there would be access and business interchange between the two sites. The PUD zoning would accommodate this operation and subdivision, allowing some flexibility between setback areas. The site in question totals 2.62 acres, or 114,100 square feet. The total outdoor storage of 28,000 square feet is about 25% of the total site area. By parcel, the storage and site areas are as follows: Parcel A: 18,210 sf outdoor storage, on parcel of approximately 64,500 sf (28%) Parcel B: 9,800 sf outdoor storage, on parcel of approximately 49,600 sf (20%) The 1-1 District allows up to 60% of the lot area covered by outdoor storage. The I -P District allows up to 10% of the lot area, or 25% of the building area, whichever is less. This would be about 4,000 sf based on building area, (11,400 sf based on lot area).
