Site Plan The site plan complies with the ordinance standards as follows: Building Setbacks The proposed building meets all setback requirements in the Agricultural zoning district. Building Height The height of the majority of the building is proposed to be 25 feet, with the highest point at 33 feet. This height complies with the 35 foot maximum height in the Agricultural zoning district. Building Coverage and Lot Coverage In the Agricultural zoning district buildings shall be allowed to cover up to 20% of the property and the impervious surface shall be allowed to cover up to 35% of the property. The proposed buildings and pavement complies with this regulation. Parking The parking ordinance does not outline specific parking requirements for a Public Works Facility. However, staff used the parking requirements for office and warehouse uses to determine the amount of parking required. The area for the Public Works Facility (phase 1), without the building expansion (phase 2), is required to have 66 total parking spaces. With the building expansion would require 122 total parking spaces.
