Be geso�, Mayor EST: Jean Via- Deputy City Cl • AGENDA ITEM 6.C.i STAFF ORIGINATOR: Paul Bengtson CC MEETING DATE: September 26, 2005 TOPIC: Resolution 05 -143 Planned Unit Development - Final Plan Apollo Landing VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 BACKGROUND Equinox Development was previously approved by the City Council (in the form of a Development Stage Plan) for a 5 lot commercial subdivision on property located at 540 Lilac Drive. The application included a Rezoning to GB (General Business), a Conditional Use Permit to allow a Planned Unit Development, a Development Stage Plan /Preliminary Plat, and allocation of commercial MUSA reserve. 411 The developer has now applied for a final plan for the hotel that is proposed for lot 1 of the plat. The final plan application includes the final building plans for the hotel as well as the final plat for the site. The development will also includes a restaurant pad on lot 5, and retail /commercial pads on lots 2, 3, and 4. Those lots will be designated as outlots on the final plat and will be required to come back for final plan when building plans are prepared. ANALYSIS Planned Unit Development The development stage plan for the project depicted a hotel on lot 1 of the plat. The applicant has now submitted the final plan application which includes the building plans for the hotel and the final plat for the site. The submitted plans are significantly in conformance with the approved development stage plan in terms of site layout. As this is a phased development, certain portions of the site will be completed while others will remain without improvements. This being phase one of the development, the full entry drive will need to be constructed with all of the necessary curb and gutter, as will the exterior landscaping and fencing surrounding lot 1. Beyond that, all necessary on and off site improvements that will serve the hotel will also need to be completed. Building Materials/ Elevations • Apollo Landing. page 2 flThe building elevations have been reviewed in comparison to the architectural design standards that were ) approved as a part of the Planned Unit Development for this site, and are deemed to be significantly in compliance with those standards. Building Height The architectural design standards limit height to 45 feet, as is the limitation in all GB (General Business) zoning district. The standards also allow the measurement of the height to be done in accordance with the zoning ordinance, which allows parapet walls to extend 4 feet beyond the 45 foot height limitation, as it is shown on the submitted elevations. Landscaping In accordance with the Screening requirements of the zoning ordinance screening is required along the boundary of the residential property adjacent to this commercial use. Either a green belt with 80% opacity, six feet in height must be provided, or alternatively a solid screening fence six feet in height. The plans as submitted provide a six -foot fence augmented with some additional landscaping. However, the fence detail that is shown is not meeting the 80% opacity standard and therefore staff is recommending a condition that the fence detail be revised to meet the standards. The entry drive is proposed to have linden trees spaced approximately 50 feet on center, though the spacing is uneven since the location of curb cuts prohibit exact spacing. A total of 16 pairs of trees are depicted on the •plan. The ground cover will consist of sod and mixed prairie grass where appropriate (drainage areas). The landscaping for the hotel site includes , s perimeter trees spaced approximately 40 feet on center, with mixed prairie grass and forbs. The internal site includes sod, numerous shrubs, and some decorative trees. Overall the landscaping is appropriate and in keeping with the architectural design guidelines for the site. Parking The original proposal for the hotel included 80 rooms which equates to 96 parking spaces for this lot. The current proposal includes 94 rooms which will require 116 stalls. That exceeds what is provided on this lot, however with the use of 20 shared parking spots on the other sites the parking need can be accommodated. This deviation from the strict enforcement of the parking standards is justified by the shared parking analysis, as well as the condition of approval that was added by the Planning and Zoning Board supporting a further reduction of parking on the site. Since this is the first phase, those shared parking spots will not be available at this time. Staff is recommending a condition that the 20 additional parking spaces be added to the plans to account for the shortage of parking on the hotel site. This additional parking will need to be adjacent or as close as possible to the hotel. Final Plat The final plat depicts one lot for the hotel and a large outlot that will encompass the rest of the development. The final plat is in substantial conformance with the layout that was approved as a part of the development stage plan. The title commitment and association documents have been submitted and are being reviewed by the City • Attorney.
