PAGE FOUR SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 54 , SERIES 2011 — A REQUEST TO APPROVE A FINAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) PLAN AND FINAL SUBDIVISION PLAT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF 19.73 ACRES WITH TWO (2) BUILDINGS (313,290 SF OF BUILDING AREA) IN THE COLORADO TECHNOLOGICAL CENTER SUBDIVISION, FILING 2 DATE: SEPTEMBER 6, 2011 a manufacturer and distributer of soft goods and they currently have 135 employees. Because the use has a warehouse type of operation (more building space than employee base), staff acknowledges this parking ratio is adequate for the use. The proposal also provides a deferral of 287 parking spaces, to be placed in the loading area, and would result in a total of 655 parking spaces for a parking ratio of 2.1 spaces / 1,000 SF. The IDDSG established a "minimum parking ratio of 2.0 spaces / 1,000 SF, except that some parking may be deferred when the total parking demand of the intended occupant falls below that ratio." The applicant is in compliant with the IDDSG parking standards. Bike racks are being proposed all throughout the site. The IDDSG requires bike parking at a ratio of 1 bike space per 20 parking spaces. The applicant is required to provide parking for 18 bikes for the standard parking layout and 33 bikes for the deferred parking layout. Staff agrees the applicant has complied with this standard. Landscaping The site has been landscaped in accordance with the IDDSG landscaping standards. Buffering has been provided between the adjacent properties to the south. The proposed plan calls for a tree /shrub/ seeding scheme along the southern boundaries. The applicant has acknowledged the seeded area will have temporary irrigation to promote healthy growth and the area will be maintained by the building owner. The remainder of the property provides adequate trees, shrubs and mulch which comply with the standards established in the IDDSG. Lighting The applicant has provided a lighting plan with a photometric plan and cut sheets. With the exception of the proposed wall pac fixtures, the proposed lighting plan is consistent with the standards established in the IDDSG for lighting. FISCAL IMPACT: Authorization of this final PUD development plan in the Colorado Technological Center will not increase the anticipated service impacts beyond those anticipated by build out of the subdivision. It is anticipated that this development will provide a positive fiscal return to the City. PLANNING COMMISSION: The Planning Commission met on August 11, 2011 to hold a public meeting regarding the final Plat and PUD. The Planning Commission unanimously approved a recommendation to City Council approving the request for the final Plat and PUD. 48
