City Council Meeting Minutes March 7, 2017 Page 7 of 14 29,645 square feet. The property is zoned PCZD-Industrial (PCZD-I) and is subject to the CTC General Development Plan (GDP). The property is among several properties on the north side of the CTC near Empire Road where the GDP requires compliance with the Commercial Development Design Standards (CDDSG) rather than the Industrial Development Design Standards (IDDSG). The applicant requests an amendment to the GDP to allow commercial uses in up to 5,929 sq. ft. of Building 1, which totals 20% of the gross floor area of that building. The applicant also submitted a plat to subdivide the property into three lots and two tracts. She noted the applicant has requested waivers for site coverage and parking standards. All conditions set from the Planning Commission have been met. Staff recommends approval of both the ordinance and the resolution. Mayor Muckle called for an applicant presentation. Brian Ojala, Entasis Group, architect and owner of the project stated the hope for this group of buildings is to bring together many different businesses. He designed it for a campus setting, nice views, indoor/outdoor lifestyle, low impact and pedestrian accessibility. He showed various renderings of the proposed campus. Mayor Muckle asked for public comment. None was heard. Councilmember Stolzmann asked how the easement affects the open space and how the building elevations and grading meet the height standards. Planner Dean showed the easements do not affect the City open space. Director Zuccaro stated height calculations for the building do affect the building height but it is actually lowering the building not raising it. Councilmember Maloney asked about the parking waiver and if granting it would cause parking problems in the future. Planner Dean noted the majority of this site is office and industrial while the CDDSG is being applied because of the small retail component. Staff feels they will be fine for parking. Public comment. None. Councilmember Maloney moved to approve Ordinance No. 1733, Series 2017, Councilmember Loo seconded. Vote: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote (summary: Yes = 7).
