Planning Commission Meeting Minutes August 10, 2017 Page 4 of 19 • The development shall provide for architectural enhancements regarding building articulation, materials, texture and color, and treatment of loading areas and other features above the standards of the IDDSG. o The third provision of Condition A sets forth requirements for architectural enhancements above the standards of the IDDSG. Staff finds the application does not comply with this provision. The Staff report discusses this in greater detail, but Staff notes that the entire fagade of the building is considered a Public Zone, which is set forth in 4.3.1 of the IDDSG and requires that any wall in a Public Zone incorporate significant architectural features to diminish the building mass, using a combination of different techniques. Staff notes that while the building utilizes multiple colors, it provides minimal horizontal and vertical articulation and change in materials other than at the ends of the building. o Regarding building materials and texture, Staff finds that the use of a form liner does not comply with the intent of the Ordinance language for building materials above the standards of the IDDSG. Form liner is tilt -up concrete that is molded to include a pattern or texture. Painted and textured tilt -up concrete is permitted in the IDDSG in Section 4.5.1., but Staff finds that this primary material is not considered ABOVE the standards of the IDDSG. The use of metal panels at the building ends as an accent is acceptable but higher quality materials should be utilized throughout the north and south facades to meet this condition of the Ordinance. • Application does not comply with this condition for articulation, materials and texture • Application complies with treatment of loading areas Ordinance 1725: B. • The principal structures shall be set back at least 100 feet from the north property line. • Application complies with this condition Ordinance 1725: C. • The development shall incorporate City/CTC entry features on Outlot C acceptable to the City and determined at the time of PUD approval. o The PUD includes the same wayfinding sign that City Council is considering for use throughout the City at identified entry areas. City Council will consider this condition as part of their review. • Application complies with this condition IDDSG: The application complies with provisions for: 1. Site Planning 3. Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation 5. Landscape Design 6. Fences and Walls 8. Exterior Site Lighting IDDSG: 2. Vehicular Circulation and Parking Access drive in Easement Area No. 2 Staff finds that the application complies with the IDDSG for vehicular circulation and parking for most areas. The IDDSG includes a guideline that sites greater than 5 acres be permitted three driveways. Staff is comfortable with 5 access drives due to the size of the site and unique user intended for the site. A waiver request is included to allow an access drive with less than the required 75' offset from an access drive on the opposite side of the street. Public Works reviewed this request and have no objections to this condition. Staff finds the application provides for adequate circulation,
