Unlike the submitted concept plan, the Phase I development plan <br />provides a specific building use breakdown from which facility <br />parking requirements may be calculated. As shown below, the <br />proposed office /showroom /warehouse exceeds City parking <br />requirements by 14 spaces. <br />Use (Net Square Feet) Ratio Spaces Required <br />Office (4,185) 1/200 20.9 <br />Showroom (5,580) 1/350 15.9 <br />Warehouse (18,135) 1 /500 36.3 <br />TOTAL SPACES REQUIRED 73 <br />All proposed parking stalls and drive aisle widths have been <br />found to conform to minimum Ordinance requirements and proper <br />handicap space allotments have been provided. <br />According to the City Ordinance, all paved surfacing must be <br />surrounding by a perimeter curb. One exception in the first <br />phase may be the shared parking bay which will eventually serve <br />Building 5. It is recommended that as a temporary measure, a <br />bituminous curb is provided between the said future parking rows <br />until such time when Building 5 is constructed. <br />Screenin. and Landsca.in.. According to the City Ordinance, all <br />commercial property parking areas must be screened from view of <br />neighboring residential areas. While the developer has <br />illustrated planting locations on the submitted concept plan, an <br />actual landscape plan will be required within development stage <br />submissions. It is recommended that the City and developer <br />consider a combination of berming, fencing, and landscaping for <br />both effectiveness and aesthetic reasons. <br />A detailed landscape plan has been provided for Phase I of the <br />development proposal. All proposed plantings appear well placed <br />and are of a variety which should visually enhance the site's <br />principal structure. One point of concern, however, relates to <br />the area which abuts Building 5 where some treatment to break up <br />the row of vehicles and headlights may be desired. Because the <br />area has been proposed as a future parking area, a solid fence <br />may be the most appropriate screening device with no permanent <br />landscaping being provided other than sod. <br />3 <br />Page 45 <br />
