Staff Report of Facts and Issues: McCartney summarized the staff report with the following points: . A request for a final subdivision plat and PUD development for Lots 2 and 3, Block 4, the Business Center at CTC, Replat D. . The subject property is located on the northwest corner of Dogwood Street and South I04th Street in the Colorado Tech Center. . The PUD plan proposes the construction of two (2) single story 31,738 SF flex office buildings on both lots. . The applicant is requesting a lot line adjustment to move the common boundary between the two lots approximately 8' north of its existing location. Without the lot line adjustment, the building to the south would only have a 2' side yard setback to the north, where a minimum of 10' would be required without building the structure of fire rated materials. .

The building can be built but no CO can be given until the lift-station is completed. . The site had three (3) access points: two on South I04th and one on Dogwood Street. . The parking ratio exceeds the require 2 spaces per 1,000 SF. Lot 2's parking ratio is 2.89/1,000 and Lot 3's parking ratio is 2.77/1,000. Parking is also planned for 18 bicycles. .
