2  Business Campus  Commercial  Industrial  Office Residential ANALYSIS The main high visibility corridors include Interstates 35E and 35W, Lake Drive and Main Street. 80th street, in the City’s northeast quadrant may also be a possible future location. Most, if not all, of the industrial property along Lake Drive and 35W has been or is currently under development. An overlay district in this area would apply to redevelopment activities for the most part. The 35E corridor has the most potential for new development. The Board Under current architectural requirements, there are slight differences between Commercial, public, educational and religious buildings (“commercial) and Industrial/Warehouse (“industrial) architectural requirements. For a commercial building 50% of each exterior wall requires three (3) class 1 materials. For industrial buildings, 75% of exterior walls may be comprised of two (2) different class 1 or class 2 materials. Commercial buildings must have a base, middle, top. This requirement is not included in the industrial building standards. These design features are typically more difficult to include in larger industrial type buildings. The size of the building also affects design. Buildings with walls over 100 feet facing public right-of-way must meet additional requirements to break up the façade. Staff is requesting the Board’s opinion to the following questions: 1. What corridors should be considered for inclusion? 2. What land use districts should be considered? 3. What additional requirements would the board want to consider? Based on comments received staff will work to develop potential alternatives for consideration. RECOMMENDATION None. Discussion only.
