City Council Meeting March 21, 2023 Page 8 other sides. On the restaurant building three mechanical units are proposed on the roof. They are partially screened with the proposed parapets. Attached are renderings with sightlines. Design Review Guidelines: The standards in the guidelines call for aesthetically pleasing and compatible site design. The proposed two sites generally meet the standards. While not every suggested standard can be met, overall, this is an auto oriented commercial development that from a design standpoint, will be an asset to the City. The two buildings are modern in design and colors and of good architectural materials. The longer walls of the auto dealer are broken with panels of varying texture and color. The scale of the buildings as viewed from the public street is relative and human scale. The site design incorporates pedestrians ways and landscaping. Parking is oriented away from Hudson Boulevard, except on Lot 1 Block 1, where the site is very limited for alternatives. There is an outdoor dining space at the fast-food restaurant. Having a shared access point for multiple buildings is preferred as well as buildings oriented towards the street frontages. The trash enclosure on Lot 1, Block 2 will be screened better by placing it closer to the property line (within setback area) due to the grades in the vicinity. Interstate Corridor Overlay District 105.04.590 : This overlay applies to lands near the interstate. The proposed PUD complies with the ten general requirements. Uses may also be subject to additional setbacks to mitigate from adjacent uses. In addition, there are architectural requirements that must be met: No galvanized or unfinished steel, galvanized or unfinished aluminum buildings (walls or roofs), except those specifically intended to have a corrosive design finish, such as Corten steel, shall be permitted. Any exposed metal or fiberglass finish on all buildings shall be limited to 50 percent of any one wall. Exterior building finishes shall consist of materials comparable in grade and quality to the following: brick; natural stone; decorative concrete block; cast-in-place concrete or precast concrete panels; wood, provided the surfaces are finished for exterior use and wood of proven exterior durability is used such as cedar, redwood, and the like; curtain wall panels of steel, fiberglass, and aluminum (non-structural, non-load bearing), provided the panels are factory fabricated and finished with a durable non-fade surface with fasteners of a corrosive-resistant design; glass curtain wall panels; stucco. Additional information is needed to determine compliance such as the percentage of metal, and types of metal and finishes. A condition has been added to provide additional detail with the final PUD/Plat submittal. Parking 105.12.410: City code requires stalls to be 9’ by 18’ for 90-degree parking. This has been met along with minimum drive aisle of 20’ and curbing. For the auto dealer, 351 stalls are proposed. Based on the ordinance for vehicle sales (and related uses) 1 space per 250 square feet of indoor sales area plus one space per 2,000 square feet of outside sales or display area and one space per 2,000 square feet of storage area. This results in 166 stalls being required. The applicant proposes 127 stalls for customers, 39 stalls for employees, and 200 for vehicle display/storage. The number of required parking stalls has been met.
