Planning Commission Meeting Minutes May 11, 2017 Page 5 of 18 Staff Report of Facts and Issues: Ritchie presented from Power Point: • The property is located in the northeast area of the CTC, with frontage on S. 104th St and secondary access on Dogwood Street. The property is zoned Planned Community Zone District — Industrial, and is required to comply with the Industrial Development Design Standards and Guidelines • Similar application in 2016 for an addition to the rear: o Approved by City Council, but not finalized by applicant • Application now includes requests for: o An amendment to the final Planned Unit Development (PUD) for Lots 2A and 3A, Block 4, Business Center at CTC. o An easement vacation for a drainage easement that straddles the existing property line between the two existing buildings. o An easement vacation for an existing access easement along the rear of the property. o A plat to eliminate the existing lot line separating Lots 2A & 3A. PUD Amendment: • The amendment to the PUD will allow for a proposed freezer addition on the back, or west, side of the existing southern building. It will replace loading docks and a portion of the access drive. The proposed connection addition is at the rear of a passage between the two existing buildings. The addition complies with setbacks and will not impact the amount of landscaping on site. The proposed additions do not remove existing parking; however, the application proposes to replace three existing parking spaces with two accessible spaces near the front entry area of the southern building. The proposed development uses comply with parking requirements in the IDDSG. As with all flex buildings in the CTC, new uses will be evaluated at the tenant finish stage to ensure the provided parking continues to be adequate. • The exterior of the additions will be precast concrete wall system or synthetic stucco to match the existing buildings, both of which the IDDSG permits. The freezer addition will be 39 feet tall, taller than the 23'-6" existing building but within the 40 foot maximum allowed in the IDDSG. The proposed freezer addition lacks architectural detailing, but given its size and location on the lot, staff finds it complies with the standards of the IDDSG and is the same design as the City approved with the previous application. • Sign Waivers: Previous PUD included waivers for monument signs. The property is located in the northeast area of the CTC, with frontage on S. 104th St and secondary access on Dogwood Street. The property is zoned Planned Community Zone District — Industrial, and is required to comply with the Industrial Development Design Standards and Guidelines o Application now includes requests for: ■ Amend the total allowed wall signage to 90 square feet per building ■ 80 square feet allowed in the IDDSG ■ Wall signs limited to 1 sign per tenant with a maximum sign area of 15 square feet. If an individual tenant occupies more than 50% of a building, that tenant is allowed one additional 30 square feet for wall signage ■ IDDSG allows one 15 square foot sign per tenant, nor to exceed one per entry door. Easement Vacations • The proposed additions require the vacation of two existing easements on the property. The first, running vertically in the image above, is a portion of an access easement that will conflict with the proposed freezer addition on the rear of the existing southern building. The easement is 54 feet wide in this location, and it is not necessary to retain the entire width. Public Works and Louisville Fire have reviewed the request and 7
