Final PUD Overview The proposal includes construction of an 84,000 sf industrial flex building and associated site improvements. As noted above, the GDP requires development on this property in conformance with the CDDSG. This property has three street frontages. The lot is bordered on the north by Highway 42, the east by CTC Boulevard, and the south by Taylor Avenue. The property to the west is Pearl Izumi, and developed with office/R&D uses. The applicant proposes a one-story rectangular structure on the lot, with three ingress/egress locations — two from Taylor Avenue and one from CTC Boulevard. The building itself is centered on the property, spanning what is currently Lot 18 and Lot 19. Parking and paved areas are distributed around the building, with planting and landscaping around the edges of the property. The building orients its fagade with the main pedestrian entrances and architectural interest on the north side to Highway 42. Its rear side with loading access and service areas orient south towards Taylor Avenue. The applicant proposed this orientation to respond to the intent of CDDSG-level design along Highway 42, and also to optimize views for potential building occupants. Currently, the applicant has not identified an end user or tenant for the building. The large rectangular floorplate of the building is intended to be flexible to accommodate potential industrial or office uses. Site Planning There is an existing sidewalk along Taylor Avenue and CTC Boulevard, and the site plan includes two pedestrian walkways into the site — one on each of the aforementioned streets. Throughout the site, there are sidewalks providing pedestrian access from parking areas to the building entrances. The applicant proposes bicycle parking at the building entrances on the north side of the building, as well as two break/seating areas with deck and trellis structures at the southeast and southwest corners of the building. Two additional break areas are located on west and north sides of the building. The site plan accommodates drainage with a detention area at the southeast corner of the property. The grading plan also provides a flat area within Outlot E that can accommodate a planned trail connection traversing the northern portion of the property along Highway 42. This matches the bench provided to the east on the FedEx property. The plans include a trail connection leading from the building to a landscaped seating area on the northern edge of the property, which then can connect to the future trail when it is constructed at a later date. The landscaping plan includes street trees along Taylor Avenue and CTC Boulevard, and shrub and tree planting along the edges of the property. The landscaping along Taylor Avenue includes a double row of trees along the street frontage that serve as Lot 1, The Business Center at CTC Replat J, and PUD Page 4 of 15 PC — December 12, 2019
