Western Spring Site Plan Page 2 B. Existing Site Characteristics The 4.7 acre property has no wetlands and is buildable. The site has remained vacant for several years and is relatively flat with few trees. The property has a 60 -foot -wide roadway easement located across the east property line and the easement continues south to 130th Street. 3. BACKGROUND: In July 2016, the City Council approved a preliminary plat and final plat to allow for a 9.42 acre parcel to be split into two 4.71 are parcels. At that time, the applicant only requested approval for the lot split and no approval for development was proposed. For that reason, the applicant must request approval of a site plan for the development of a manufacturing, warehouse, and office facility on Lot 2, Block 1, Bald Eagle Industrial Park Sixth Addition. 4. ANALYSIS: A. Level of City Discretion in Decision -Making The City's discretion in approving or denying a site plan is limited to whether or not the proposed project complies with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance requirements. If it meets these standards, the City must then approve the site plan. B. Consistency with Ordinance Standards Site Plan Setbacks The proposed development complies with the 30 -foot front and rear yard setback. The ordinance requires a side yard setback equal to the height of the building, in no case less than ten (10) feet, and a six (6) foot parking setback from all lot lines. The proposed development complies with the setback requirements. Building Height The General Industrial zoning district has a maximum building height of 50 feet. The building height will be approximately 25 feet. The proposed plan complies with the height requirements. Building Coverage and Lot Coverage The ordinance limits the lot area to be covered by a building up to 40% and covered by impervious surface up to 80%. The proposed site plan complies with the coverage requirements.
