Building orientations now more fully integrate into the site reducing the appearance of a rear elevation for the mixed-use building. Landscape coverage for the site is 33.4%. Approximately 80% of that coverage is landscaped with pedestrian plaza and hardscape areas at 20%. Total building, parking, and driveway coverage is 67%, which is less than the Commercial Development Design Standards & Guidelines maximum of 70%. The site plan complies with the Commercial Development Design Guidelines and Standards for both building and parking setbacks. The Commercial Development Design Standards & Guidelines increased the required parking setback to 25 feet. Both Ruby Tuesday and Outback Steakhouse have parking up to the 20-foot setback. The revised PUD plan complies with the 25' parking setback from McCaslin Boulevard. The required building setback from the internal private streets is 10' feet. The site plan reflects a minimum building setback of 20' feet. Access points into this site were established through the Parcel H overall Final PUD. The drive opposite Ruby Tuesday's drive is consistent with that plan, as is the shared drive with Outback Steakhouse. The bank proposes a three bay, covered drive-through which is attached to the east side of the bank. The access to the drive-through and queuing lane are fully separated from the access points for the parcel in accordance with the Commercial Development Design Standards & Guidelines. The bank proposes to have two ATM's, one located in the pedestrian plaza, and the second on the drive lane immediately east of the covered drive- through. The Planning Commission requested that the applicant provide a traffic flow diagram, including a directional sign program for the drive-in banking facility. The traffic flow for the drive-through facility, to work smoothly, requires entry from the north access point. To direct traffic coming directly in from McCaslin, as well as from Dillon Road, two additional direction signs have been added to the PUD. One sign will be installed at the northerly access point, the second at the northeast corner of the parcel for the benefit of traffic coming in from Dillon Road. Such signs may not exceed an area of 5 SF, or an overall height of 30". The Planning Commission recommended that the width of the drive located immediately to the east of the drive-through facility be reduced from 24' to 12'. A reduction of drive width has allowed for an increase in landscape coverage immediately east of the drive- through. The PUD has been revised to provide pedestrian crossings across proposed drives associated with the mixed-use building, as well as a pedestrian link to the west perimeter sidewalk adjacent to McCaslin Blvd. The PUD reflects that all pedestrian crossings are constructed of accent paving, and a sidewalk has been added along the east elevation of 13
