Davidson called for a five-minute recess (9:30 p.m.). Davidson called the meeting back to order. RESOLUTION NO. 64, SERIES 1999 - A RESOLUTION APPROVING A FINAL PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR LOTS 4 & 5, BLOCK 2, THE PARK AT CTC, INOVONICS ENTERPRISES Davidson called for staff presentation. Paul Wood, Planning Director, explained that the applicant is a wireless electronics manufacturer proposing to locate an office, R&D and light manufacturing facility on two lots in The Park at CTC. The property is slightly over seven acres and a two-phase development of a 100,000 square foot facility has been proposed. The property has frontage on three public streets, Dogwood Street to the north, CTC Boulevard to the east, and Cherry Street to the south. The streets are all either recently completed or under construction and nearing completion. The extensions of Cherry Street and South 104th Street are also nearing completion. Based on the current construction status of the streets, building permits may be issued for lots in the Park at CTC. The application was originally submitted on July 26, 1999. Based on preliminary staff comments as well as design considerations of the applicant, the plans were substantially modified and resubmitted on September 27. The application has proceeded on track with the optimal time line for a final PUD since that submittal. The applicant's architect and representative, Garth Braun of Garth Braun Associates, has been actively involved in the development of the Industrial Development Design Standards and Guidelines. Without objection from the applicant, the Industrial Development Design Standards & Guidelines have been used as a reference point in reviewing this project. With minor exceptions, staff and the Planning Commission have found the project in compliance with the proposed Industrial Development Design Standards & Guidelines. The development is proposed in two phases. Phase I would include the eastern portion of the building, with approximately 50,000 square feet of building on two floors and 165 parking spaces. Phase II would double the size of the building with an addition to the west and a total of 325 parking spaces. Wood explained that the City has no control when and if additional phases may be constructed, therefore, it is important that each phase is determined to be an acceptable final design. The phasing would also be subject to the City' s three-year maximum duration of PUD approval, so that the Phase II proposal would only be valid for three years from the final City Council approval date. City Council can extend those approval periods, either through action on this PUD or through a subsequent request by the property owner. The building is located toward the north of the two lots, with parking located almost entirely to the south, toward Cherry Street. The primary access is off CTC Boulevard and 21
