Liberty Classical Academy Site Plan and CUP Page 6 requirements. The required amount of parking for the site is 264 parking spaces. The plans show 205 parking spaces. The applicant has plenty of space to include additional parking, however, staff believes the amount of parking is adequate for the school. Staff recommends the applicant revise the plans to show proof of parking, that would be constructed at any time deemed necessity by the City. The main parking area is at the east side of the building designed as a driveway/drop-off area to access the main entrance of the building. Sidewalks/Trails There are not trails along the adjacent County Roads. The sidewalks proposed within the site are provided by the school. Landscaping The City ordinance requires 55 deciduous share trees, 28 coniferous trees, 28 ornamental trees, and 183 shrubs. The landscape plan meets the ordinance standard with multiple varieties of trees and shrubs on the site. Staff recommends the landscape be revised to include additional landscaping around the parking areas and driveways and to the east of the building along County Road 57/Keller Avenue. It is also unclear if the existing trees will remain along County Road 57/Keller Avenue, staff recommends that they be preserved to the best they can. Staff continue to work with the applicant on the revised landscape plan. Lighting The applicant has provided a lighting plan for review. Generally the plan meets the ordinance standards, however, in order to reduce the impact on the surrounding properties staff recommends that some of the pole lights be removed or relocated. Staff is also recommending timers and dimmers on the lights. Building Materials and Architecture The building materials for the school addition consist of brick,precast stone, textured precast panel walls, and lap siding that resembles wood. These materials are consistent with the existing materials on the building. There will be vertical and horizontal changes in materials. The existing building has some materials that are hard to match exactly, however the applicant has been a good job finding cohesive materials and colors to best match into existing building. The building is one story and designed similar to the existing building. The building addition roof lines will be a staggered flat roof line design with varied undulations in the facades to break up the building walls. The applicant has created defined entrances with different roof heights and vertical mix of building materials.
