SUBJECT: Resolution No. 43, Series 2007, a final Subdivision Plat and final PUD Development Plan -Lots 2 and 3, Bloclc 4, the Business Center at CTC, Replat D. DATE: September 4, 2007 setback to the north. PUD Development Plan: Site Plan The proposed site plan provides a layout for two 31,738 SF single-story flex office buildings. Once approved, each lot could be sold off for individual ownership. According to the applicant, the project will be phased to allow for the start of construction of one of the buildings within 6 months of the approval date. The phasing is based on the availability of offsite sanitation facilities which is being constructed by the City. The Public Wo~°ks Department has noted the ocupancy of the buildings shall not occur until the new lift station on South 104`" Street is constructed. The proposed buildings do allow full vehicular and emergency access to all sides of the building, as well as loading docks in the rear of the building (located on the west side of the building). Building setbacks and the design of parking and vehicular circulation areas are in compliance with the IDDSG. Access The development is designed to allow for three access points -two on South 104th Street (to the east) and one on Dogwood Street (to the south). Because these properties are intended to be sold off individually, the applicant has allowed for a shared access easement to be dedicated on the subdivision plat. According to the IDDSG, properties larger than 5 acres are permitted 3 access points. Because this property is larger than 5 acres in size (5.65 acres), they are permitted the 3 access points. Parking and Circulation The proposed development exceeds the minimum parking ratio of 2.0 spaces per 1,000 square feet as required by the IDDSG. Lot 2 allows for 90 standard parking spaces and 2 handicapped spaces for a total of 92 parking spaces, or a parking ratio of 2.89 spaces per 1,000 square feet. Lot 3 allows for 86 standard parking spaces and 2 handicapped spaces for a total of 88 parking spaces, or a parking ratio of 2.77 spaces per 1,000 square feet. While sufficient parking availability may be reviewed in conjunction with tenant finish permits, staff supports. the parking ratios as being able to address the anticipated parking demand of a flex occupancy. The applicant has also provided adequate area for bicycle parking located near the entry of each building. There is bicycle parking available fora 1:ota1 of 18 bicycles. Landscaping Landscape coverage meets the required 25% of the lot area as required by the IDDSG. The caliper and number of landscape materials reflect compliance with the IDDSG with regard to parking lot, streetscape, and side property minimum standards. Building Architecture
