the CDDSG requirement for a 30' buffer between different land uses, the plan calls for a 30' landscaped buffer along the eastern property line. Dense plantings (including evergreens) and a screen wall help to minimize potential impacts from headlights and noise on the nearby residences. In accordance with staff recommendations, the landscaping transitions into native seeding to match the existing landscape condition of the adjacent trail. Plantings frame building entrances and break-up parking lot rows. The proposal includes a six-foot tall screen wall on the north, east and south sides of the property. The screen wall has a faux stone fagade and columns at 15-foot intervals. The wall is intended to assist with the screening of the parking from the surrounding residential neighborhoods. Figure 3: Screen Wall The development provides 18 parking spaces, above the required 12 that are required at 4.5 spaces/1000 sf. The proposal locates the parking behind the building, on the north side. This helps screen the parking from Hecla Way. The parking lot includes three cobra -head lights with backlighting controls. There are two wall mounted lights on the west side of the building providing additional lighting for the shared driveway and pedestrian areas on this side of the building. The building and parking areas meet all setback requirements in the CDDSG, including the required 30' buffer on the east side of the property. The applicant does not request any waivers from the CDDSG. Emergency access meets the requirements. Napa Auto Parts PUD 1st Amendment, Page 5 of 13 PC — July 9, 2020 14
