*Building Height According to the Zoning Ordinance, no building within the LI (Light Industrial) zoning district may exceed 45 feet in height. At approximately 22 feet in height, the proposed facility complies with the ordinance. • Landscaping The LI (Light Industrial) district requires side and rear lot lines adjacent to residential or commercial districts, public right -of -way, a landscape buffer area not less than 40 feet in depth containing an effective mix of screening including landscaping, planting, berming, or fencing. The submitted plans indicate a berm along the southern half of the west property line that along with the proposed landscaping should provide a substantial screen to the west. The revised plans submitted on January 6, 2005 have also increased the buffer screening from 22 trees to 50 trees and 70 shrubs. This increase appears to meet the requirements of the zoning ordinance. Staff notes that this berm was part of the mass grading plan that was approved for this entire industrial development by Conditional Use Permit. Each individual property within the project has been reviewed based on that grading plan as they have developed, so not all of those improvements have been completed until such time that development occurs. In this case there is no berm on the western property line at this time and it would need to be completed as part of this project not only for the purposes of grading and drainage, but also for the screening it will provide. This application has drawn the attention of neighboring property owners and has brought to light issues with the screening of the Summit Fire building to the south. Staff is working towards addressing that issue at this time. As always, all sodded and landscaped areas shall require irrigation. The environmental board has specifically requested that all berms be irrigated as well to ensure survival of planting materials. Green Area The LI (Light Industrial) zoning district requires that impervious surface coverage not exceed 85 %. Plans currently show a total of 5.9 acres of impervious surface within the 8.9 acres of land equaling approximately 66% impervious surface coverage. Well within the allowable standards. Access /Circulation Access to the site is via two exit/entry drives from Apollo Court. Staff has reviewed access to this site and all the other lots within this industrial park as a part of the minor subdivision that created this lot as well as the Apollo Court street alignment. The applicant has submitted an exhibit that clearly depicts proper truck circulation for the site. The cul -de -sac depicted is within a temporary road easement that was granted as part of the minor subdivision that created this lot. The city is requiring full right of way dedication or permanent roadway easements for the entire length of Apollo Court. Prior to the issuance of building permits the applicant will need to supply the city with executable documents for the right of way. Apollo Court will also need to be completed to city standards prior to it's acceptance by the city, this includes the entire length of Apollo Court of which none has been accepted by the city at this point.
