Public Works Facility — Irish Ave Park Planning Commission Page 4 June 25, 2020 4. ANALYSIS: A. 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. The plans shows 38 proposed parking spaces. There is additional space to the east of the parking lot to expand the parking area or to show "proof of parking". There is also additional area in the paved areas around the building for additional parking. There is plenty of space for additional parking on site and staff does not see this as an issue. The plans shall be revise to include the required amount of parking or proof of parking for phase 1 and show where parking would be located for phase 2. The Public Works has approximately 21 employees, including summer seasonal workers, today. It is expected that as the City grows additional employees will be hired in the future. Lighting The ordinance requires lighting to consist of cut-off fixtures and for light cast on adjacent property and roads not to exceed '/2 foot candle measured at the property line or 1 foot candle measured at the street's centerline. The ordinance also required the light fixtures, whether pole mounted or wall mounted to be cut-off fixtures. The plan is proposing LED lights for both the pole and wall mounted fixtures. The lighting plan meets ordinance standards.
