In the Phase I approval, aisle width between loading bays of adjacent buildings was 44 feet. Staff recommends that at least half of that figure or 22 feet of aisle be provided for trucks to turn the corner of the building and maneuver into the loading bays. In order to achieve this width, the building will have to be reduced in size. The developer must demonstrate adequate aisle width which will allow trucks to turn the corner of the .building and safely maneuver into the loading bays. Revised site plans must be submitted showing the perimeter curb and aisle width for the loading area. Parking. Phase II does not give a specific breakdown of the use of the building to complete required parking spaces so percentage of use was calculated from figures previously submitted with the concept plan. They show the buildings to contain: 15 percent office, 20 percent showroom, and 65 percent warehouse. The required parking calculations for the use are provided below: Use Square Feet Ratio Spaces Required Office 2,925 1/200 14.6 Showroom 3,900 1/350 11.1 Warehouse 12,675 1/500 25.4 TOTAL SPACES REQUIRED 51.0 The site plan provides for 47 total cars. The applicant should be required to provide four additional spaces or reduce building size. Screening and Landscaping. As mentioned earlier, all parking must have a five foot perimeter curb between parking areas and property lines. These perimeter areas must also be landscaped so as to help screen parking from adjacent properties. Perimeter curbing and landscaping is provided for all paved boundaries except along the north side of the new building. Curbing and landscaping must be provided for along the entire property line parallel to the north side of the new building. A detailed landscape plan has been provided and shows a variety of species of trees provided for the perimeter landscaping. A revised landscape plan must be submitted showing landscaping along the north side of the building. Setbacks. The proposed building meets all required setbacks. Grading, Drainage and Utilities. The developer has submitted a preliminary grading and utility plan for proposed Phase I. The plan will be subject to the review and comment of the City Engineer. 3 Page 49
