Planning Commission Meeting Minutes June 25, 2020 Page 18 of 24 She also breaks down the retail development's lots and setbacks. She mentions that they are working with only 185 feet of depth, which is the minimum possible depth. She discusses a development she participated in Arvada that had a 55 setback, but that property also had 250 feet of depth in those lots and did not have the detention requirements. She mentions how they are operating under a 16 year old GDP document. A lot has changed in this corridor. If we were operating under the city's commercial development design guidelines, an arterial street would be allowed to have a 30 foot setback if the building foot prints were less than or equal to 30,000 gross square feet. We are proposing a 55 foot setback from the arterial, which is a delta of 25 feet. For industrial buildings, an arterial street would be allowed to have a 50 foot setback if the building footprints were greater than 30,000 gross square feet. We are proposing 311 feet from the arterial with a delta of 261 feet. She adds that their proposed design, setbacks, and building heights are consistent with other approved developments along 96th Street and Dillon Road since 2004. She then concludes with these points: • It is consistent with recent surrounding development and approved comprehensive plan • Transitions building and intensity from west to east to maintain rural transition • Enhanced and significant landscaping buffer will provided along 9611 Street • All 40-foot buildings will be 300+ feet from the 96th Street right of way (200+ additional feet than CTC on Dillon Road) • FAR average across development is .22 Megan Turner, United Properties Turner discusses a truck turning template, mentions the importance for semi -trucks to be able to maneuver on the site, and reiterates the importance of having 185 feet of depth for these business's trucks. Alicia Rhymer, United Properties Rhymer reviews the 2004 approved GDP and discusses their height transition for their GDP proposal. They will maintain a 25' maximum height for Zone 2 A, which is consistent with the previous GDP. They will maintain a 40' maximum height for Zone 2 B, which is increased by 5' height for industrial uses. They will also maintain a 35' height for Zone 3, which is no change from the original GDP. She discusses the proposed FAR changes and gives an in-depth rationale behind the parking orientation design. She also discusses the design enhancements that are being proposed for this PUD. These are the enhancements mentioned: • Enhancing landscaping buffer from edge of asphalt from 96th Street
