The applicant currently operates a dance studio in the Victor Gardens So uth Village building known as The Dance Unit. There are two parcels of interest at the site, both of which will be combined to create a 2.12 -acre parcel. The property is bisected by a sanitary sewer line.

The site will receive access from a shared access point on the property to the north, currently occupied by TGK Automotive. Additionally, the site must continue the shared access by providing access to the property to the south. The site plan proposes a future private drive that will act as a frontage road to direct traffic to the south. Staff reviewed the site plan request for consistency with ordinance standards and the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The application meets most of the criteria necessary to approve a site plan. The architectural plan was reviewed for consistency with the Commercial and Industrial Design Guidelines. Staff found that revisions should be made to the architectural plan with regards to building materials and colors. Additionally, the landscape plan needs revisions to meet the planting requirements in the ordinance, and a plan for managing the proposed prairie grasses will need to be submitted . Staff will continue to work with the applicant on revising these plans, and is recommending that the Planning Commission approve the site plan, subject to conditions in the approving resolution.
