2. The proposed site is or will be compatible with present and <br />future land uses of the area. <br />3. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards <br />contained herein. <br />4. The proposed use will not lead to or actually depreciate the <br />area in which it is proposed. <br />5. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public <br />services and will not overburden the City's service <br />capacity. <br />As we have noted for past applications on this site, we believe <br />the commercial or industrial use of the property is consistent <br />with the stated goals of the community, which include the <br />Development District Plan adopted when the City first considered <br />the use of Tax Increment Financing. We are recommending a zoning <br />district designation of PUD to provide for some flexibility to <br />negotiate the actual uses and performance standards on the site, <br />and to accommodate a "fast tracked" project where preliminary <br />grading or excavation permits may be processed prior to the final <br />PUD stage approvals. <br />PUD Plan. The Concept Stage PUD application is accompanied by <br />three plans. The first is the conceptual site plan illustrating <br />a proposed building location and footprint, phasing, access roads <br />and parking. The second is the preliminary grading plan and the <br />third is the Wetland Impact Plan. These latter two will be more <br />thoroughly evaluated by the Watershed District as the permitting <br />agency for wetland impacts. <br />Site Plan. The site is designed to provide two access drives <br />from County Road B flanking a ponding /wetland area. The easterly <br />drive would access a larger parking area and provide a connection <br />around to the rear of the building. The westerly driveway would <br />allow access to a second parking area as well as be the primary <br />truck access drive. The circulation appears to be adequate with <br />the two accesses and the driveway encircling the structure. The <br />only recommendation we would make would be to add a second <br />connection drive between the two parking lots to increase ease of <br />interior circulation, particularly at times of shift overlap. <br />With the previous comment, the parking supply is more than <br />adequate from Ordnance standards. The architect has designed the <br />parking facility to accommodate multiple shifts which results in <br />a parking supply approximately 50 percent over that required. <br />2 <br />Page 32 <br />
