October 13, 2003 City Council Apollo Center Lot Area Requirements and Lot Width The minimum lot size required for a sewered lot in the General Business District is 20,000 square feet. The proposed use consists of 70,151 square feet; the proposed use meets the lot area requirements. Minimum lot width for this District is 100 feet. The lot has minimum lot width of 160 feet. The project meets the City's requirements for minimum lot width. Height Requirements In the General Business District, maximum height allowed is 45 feet. The structure as proposed will be approximately 21 feet. The structure as proposed is within the height limitations of the District. Impervious Surface Coverage In the General Business District, the total impervious surface cannot exceed 75 percent of the lot area resulting in Tess than 25 percent pervious landscaped area. In the proposed development, 35,298 square feet (50.32 percent) of the lot area will be in parking area and 15,763 square feet (22.47 percent) will be in buildings. In total, 72.79 percent of the lot will be covered with impervious surface, or 27.21 percent will be pervious surface. The Proposal, as shown, meets the requirements of the ordinance for impervious surface. Building Requirements The Zoning Ordinance requires that the principal and accessory structures have essentially the same or a "coordinated harmonious finish treatment." (Section 3, 4.B) Exterior walls may be a "combination of materials including brick, pre -cast concrete, decorative concrete, architectural concrete, cast -in -place concrete, stone, glass or metal panels. Metal panels shall not exceed twenty (20) percent of the wall surface." (Section 3, 4.C) The majority of the exterior front surface of the building is proposed to be face veneer brick and Exterior Insulated Finishing Systems (EIFS) Color #2 with aluminum frame windows and pre- finished metal stand seam canopies. Each tenant is to have a 2 foot by 12 foot EIFS sign panel to be individually lettered. A common theme will be carried throughout the front of the structure. The sides and back of the structure will consist of concrete masonry units (smooth faced) painted to match EIFS Color #2. Although it is not apparent from the exterior elevations, with the predominance of brick or block, earth tone colors will most likely be the dominant color (Section 3, 4.D). This needs to be confirmed, especially since the plans call for the exterior of the building to be painted in Color #2, which is not described. Without a color Page 3
