Marketplace 3`d Addition, page 3 andsca in Staff is recommending a condition that all lawn areas be sodded, and all plantings be irrigated. Staff is also including a recommendation based on the comments from the Environmental Board that a minimum of six shade trees be planted on the west side of the building along the street and that a landscaping /pedestrian access island be added to the middle of the double row of parking to allow for additional landscaping as well as an established pedestrian route from the parking on the far east side of the parking lot. Green Area The submitted plans currently show the property at approximately 72% impervious surface coverage, which is a 6% reduction from the previously approved site layout. Parking • Parking Factor Parking Requirement Spaces Required 14,400 square feet Five and one -half (5 -1/2) spaces per each one thousand (1,000) square feet of gross leasable floor area (exclusive of common areas). 82.5 Parking Provided 87 Parking Surplus 4.5 Some of the excess parking will be partially taken up with the condition requiring that another landscape /pedestrian access island be added to the center of the parking lot. Access /Circulation Access to the entire site is provided via two shared driveways and one additional dedicated access for the retail building from the internal street system of the larger Marketplace development. The proposed layout of the entire site allows traffic to circulate quite effectively. Lighting As the site is surrounded by similar commercial uses and the streets are private, the photometric lighting plan submitted with the application meets all of the city requirements. The lighting fixtures will be conditioned to match the existing fixtures within the Marketplace development. Additionally, decorative street lighting required as part of the original approval for Marketplace must be for this site and all other developed sites within the project. As the applicant for this property is the • installed master developer for the entire site, a condition is being added requiring the installation of the necessary lighting.
