RESOLUTION No. 48, SERIES 1999, A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDED FINAL PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR MINOR INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR MODIFICATIONS TO A 16,500 S.F. LIGHT INDUSTRIAL BUILDING CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION, OMNI PROMOTIONAL, LLC, LOT 1, BLOCK 2 OF THE BUSINESS CENTER AT CTC, 258 SOUTH TAYLOR AVENUE Sisk called for staff presentation. Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that this is an application to amend a previously approved final PUD on Lot 1, Block 2, the Business Center at CTC. The amendment involves two items: 1) the addition of a partial second floor mezzanine area for warehouse storage, and 2) modification of the exterior building colors. A final PUD for this site was approved by City Council in late-summer, 1998. The PUD authorized a 16,500 square foot building with 33 parking spaces. The building is under construction and is very near completion. Omni Promotional, the applicant on the amended PUD, is proposing to own the building and occupy three-fourths of the space, with approximately 4,000 square feet available for lease. Omni is currently working on the interior finish work, which does not require approval of this amended final PUD. The PUD was approved for a 16,470 square foot, single story building with 33 parking spaces, which results in a parking ratio of 2.0 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. No second floor space was proposed, nor accommodated for, in the parking data. Per standard City procedures, each tenant finish building permit must not generate a parking demand that exceeds that ratio. The approved tenant finish permit for Omni Promotional is right at the 2.0:1000 parking ratio. They have proposed to add a 1,600 square foot mezzanine in the southwest comer of the building that would be used for storage purposes only. That would require 1.6 parking spaces. In order not to exceed the total parking supply on the site, the applicant proposes to restrict the 4,000 square foot vacant tenant spaces strictly to warehouse users. Because the applicant is also the owner of the building, Staff finds that restriction acceptable. The building was approved with two exterior colors, both light shades of tan or beige. The existing color on the top of the building is consistent with that approval and is not proposed to change. The applicant proposes to modify the color scheme to use a darker color at the base and extending up to the parapet in a vertical scheme at the taller southwest section of the building. A dark green is proposed for the limited metal accent materials on the building. The color scheme presented to City Council complies with the Planning Commission recommended condition to eliminate the proposed red accent color. The Planning Commission considered this request at their August 19 meeting, and unanimously recommended approval of the application with one condition. That condition required the main building to be limited to two colors, versus three, plus an 9
