Marketplace 3rd Addition, page 2 The comprehensive plan guides the site for Mixed Use land use. The site is within the stage 1 (pre -2010) owth area and a portion is within the existing MUSA boundary. Public water and sanitary sewer are available within the surrounding street network. Planned Unit Development The revised layout will use the existing lot lines, but slightly change some of the building placements, and designate the two lots adjacent to Apollo Drive for single user buildings. Specifically, the Design Guidelines established for the entire Marketplace development as a part of Ordinance 16 -01 will need to be slightly modified. Setback Standards Within a Planned Unit Development (or Planned Development Overlay) the setbacks are approved as a part of the final development plans. The setbacks proposed are both appropriate for this type of development and in keeping with the rest of the Marketplace development. Lot Sizes Within a Planned Unit Development (or Planned Development Overlay) each lot is designed to accommodate a building pad and sufficient parking to serve the intended use of the lot. The proposed lot areas and widths are in conformance with the GB (General Business) zoning district, and are therefore appropriate. Architectural Design Standards Ordinance 16 -01 which rezoned this site to PDO (Planned Development Overlay), also established the design standards for the buildings on site. The applicant is now proposing what staff feels is a significant improvement to the overall design of the multi -tenant buildings. Staff does have a couple of concerns in regards to the elevations, which are addressed below. The final design for the multi -tenant buildings will need to replace the existing elevations within the design standards. Minimal changes will also need to be made to the text attached to Ordinance 16 -01. None of the changes will be substantive changes, rather just correcting portions that refer to the old building designations (A -F) and then designating which sections will apply to each of the new building lots. Building Materials/ Elevations The elevations attached to this report are a result of ongoing discussions between staff and the applicant. Improvements were made to the previously approved design, including more brick and variation to the facade accomplished by stepping out the ends of the buildings. However, staff is recommending conditions of approval that require the cornice be EIFS or better with flashing used only to maintain the integrity of the cornice, not as an architectural element. Building Height The scale of the submitted elevations is not known; however it is a single story building and therefore would not exceed the maximum height allowed within the zoning district.
