Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that the applicant /owner proposed a two -phase expansion of. an existing office, warehouse and light manufacturing building located at 1500 Cherry Street at the northeast corner of Cherry Street and South Pierce Avenue in Filing No. 1 of CTC. The existing building is occupied by multiple tenants with 66% occupied by office uses, as opposed to the typical allocation of 25 30 The Plat restriction, as discussed in Ordinance No. 1269, allowed for construction of only parking or landscaped areas with no building construction allowed. The applicant was requesting an amendment to add onto the existing facility rather than construct a separate building on the site. Phase Three (the initial expansion), about 7,800 s.f., would be primarily a warehouse space for Neon Glassworks, a current tenant of the building. Phase Four expansion would be potential new tenant space designed to accommodate multiple interior uses. Landscape coverage exceeded the minimum requirements in both phases, 49% for Phase Three and 33% for Phase Four. On September 9, Planning Commission approved this project with 10 conditions, seven of which had been met The three remaining conditions dealt with parking, sidewalks, and lighting.
