Perimeter and parking landscaping meets the standards in the IDDSG, with one exception for which the applicant is requesting a waiver. The waiver is for perimeter landscaping on the south side of the property, where typically five perimeter trees would be required. The applicant proposes to plant additional landscaping in other areas of the property further enhance the landscaping. The development provides 26 parking spaces, calculated based on the 2 per 1,000 SF base minimum rate identified in the IDDSG. The IDDSG does not identify a parking ratio for a pet care facility use or similar service use. The municipal code states that for uses not specified, that the Director of Planning, with consent of the Planning Commission, may determine the required number of spaces based on building area and use of the property. This use is largely a drop-off type business with less demand for parking than many other service or commercial businesses where customers will spend more time at the facility. While there is a larger demand for parking in the morning and evening for drop off and pick up, staff believes that 26 spaces are sufficient based on the use. Architectural Design The west elevation of the building has the primary public entry with a staff entry on the north side. The elevations of the building include material changes, change in the roof plane, pilasters, canopies, providing architectural interest. The parapet of the building also varies in height. Windows are clustered on the west elevation and to a more limited degree on the other elevations. The building also includes canopies, which help define the street facing elevation and create visual interest. Building materials and architectural treatments include the use of stucco and stone veneer.

The purpose of a Special Review Use is to ensure that a particular use is compatible with the character of the area and any potential adverse impacts are mitigated. For example, a dog day care use may have unique impacts related to noise, odor control and waste management. 578 S Pierce PUD, Page 3 of 13 PC — September 10, 2020 17
