Roy Molitor 4th Addition — Pre Plat, CUP Amendment, Easement Vacation, and Site Plan Page 4 Building Height The BP zoning district has a maximum building height of 50 feet. The building height will be approximately 32 feet. The site plan complies with the height requirements. Building Coverage and Lot Coverage The ordinance limits lot area to be covered by a building to 40% and lot area to be covered by impervious surface to 80%. The proposed lot for the site plan does not comply with the impervious surface percentage requirement. However, since the entire property is planned to be a campus development the overall building and lot coverage requirements are meet. Staff is comfortable with using the overall building and lot coverage requirements. Landscaping Section 90-181 of the Zoning Ordinance provides landscaping requirements for industrial development. The site plan includes tree and shrub locations and species. The ordinance provides two ways of calculating the required amount of trees and shrubs. One based on the square footage of the building and one based on the perimeter of the site, whichever is greater. In this case staff used the building size of the site. In order to meet the landscape requirements, 12 overstory deciduous trees, 12 coniferous trees, 12 ornamental trees, and 76 shrubs are required to be installed. If the trees are installed, this would meet the ordinance requirement for the entire campus development. The applicant is proposing 7 overstory deciduous trees, 12 coniferous trees, 12 ornamental trees, and 54 shrubs. The applicant has stated that they would like to use some existing trees to count towards the landscape requirements. Staff is comfortable with counting the existing trees and landscape planting substitutions, provided it meets the intent of the landscape ordinance. Staff included a condition in the attached resolution that requires the applicant to submit a revised landscape plan demonstrating compliance with the City's landscape ordinance or provide a plan with information that outlines the number of existing trees to be counted and any planting substitutions proposed. 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 applicant is proposing LED lights for wall mounted fixtures. The applicant has provided cut -sheet for both the wall lights for staff review and approval prior to installation. The lighting plan meets the ordinance standards along the property lines
