Premier Bank – Site Plan, Zoning Amendment, CUP, and Variances 2 Following the close of the public hearing, the planning commission discussed the request and asked a few more questions. These questions and discussion comments included: • Issues with an access point onto 147th Street rather than Flay Avenue o Combining with existing commercial traffic from Subway on the south side of the street o Interfering with pedestrians and/or cyclists using the trail • Reducing the vehicle stacking and that it is unlikely it would back up into the street • 3 out of the 4 corners of the intersection already having commercial uses Following discussion, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the site plan, zoning amendment, CUP, and variances, subject to the conditions in the resolutions. 2. DESCRPTION OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting approval for a site plan for a commercial development on a 0.76 acre parcel for an approximately 4,500 square foot commercial building with a drive-through. The proposed use is to be a bank and 1,000 square feet for another tenant. The property is located on the northwest corner of 147th Street and Highway 61, currently occupied by a residential home. The property is zoned Future Central Business (FCB) and is located in the area of the City where development is guided by the downtown plan and design guidelines. The applicant is requesting to rezone the property to Central Business (C-1) to accommodate a commercial use. Additionally, the applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow for a drive-through teller lane to be within 200 feet of a residentially zoned property. The applicant is requesting two variances. The first variance is to allow for 115 feet and 4 inches of space for vehicle stacking, where 180 feet is required by ordinance. The second variance is to allow for the drive-through main entrance to be located on Flay Avenue, a local street, where access to a state highway, county road, or city commercial collector street is required by ordinance. 3. CONTEXT: Surrounding Land Use and Zoning The properties to the north and west are zoned Future Central Business (FCB) and are occupied by residential homes. The properties to the east across Highway 61 are zoned Central Business (C-1) and are occupied by commercial uses. The properties to the south are zoned Future Central Business (FCB) and Central Business (C-1) and are occupied by single family homes and a commercial use. This property and the surrounding properties are guided Mixed-Use (MIX) in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The MIX land use classification allows for a mix of residential, commercial, office, and retail, and public/quasi-public uses. This mixed-use area is guided by the Downtown Design Guidelines and is expected to be developed with a mix of uses.
