RESOLUTION No. 44, SERIES 1998, KOHL'S DEPARTMENT STORE - FINAL PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN - LOT 3, CENTENNIAL VALLEY PARCEL 'O' Davidson called for staff introduction. Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated this is a Final PUD Development Plan for an 86,000 sf retail store on Lot 3 of Parcel O, Centennial Valley Subdivision, Filing No. 7. Building area is proposed at 19%, with the combined total building and hard surface coverage at 74.4%, which exceeds the maximum coverage of 70% under the CDDSG. On-site open space is at a total of 25.6%, of which 5.1% is hardscape. The plan currently has 20.4% on-site greenscape. It is the opinion of the City Attorney's office that the CDDSG landscape coverage requirements will apply; therefore, the minimum requirement is 30%, with no more than one-third being dedicated to pedestrian hardscape area. The applicant is requesting an off-site credit of 6% toward the open space requirement for Lot 3. This represents the pro-rated share of Lot 3 for Lots 10 and 11, which are both privately owned and maintained regional storm water detention tracts. Off-site credits were authorized for Albertson's (8%), and Sam's Club (6%). These credits were exacted from Lot 10. The credit would result in a 31.5% open space coverage and landscape improvements on 54% of Lot 11. The PUD landscape plan reflects that the applicant intends to landscape 100% of Lot 11. The project is parked at 5.3 spaces/I,000 sf, which exceeds the required number of spaces by 71. The PUD reflects a rear setback of 90' from Dahlia Street. Building and parking setbacks are in compliance with minimum CDDSG requirements. Perimeter and parking lot tree counts have been increased to exceed the CDDSG requirements. Additional width has been provided between the parking lot and the internal loop road for tree plantings to provide parking lot screening. The Planning Commission recommended that six additional evergreen trees be installed on Lot 11 where the parking lot is immediately adjacent. The finished grade of the parking lot at that point will be a minimum of 3' above Dillon Road. A number of pedestrian crossings have been added to the revised PUD site plan. The revised PUD has also incorporated a pedestrian crossing at the southwest comer of the building, linking with the gazebo amenity. Proposed finished floor elevation is 5,460', which is approximately 7' higher than the elevation of Dahlia Street. The Planning Commission recommended that the applicant fully evaluate the potential to lower the finished floor elevation. The applicant has submitted a separate grading plan which reflects a reduction of two feet. The photometric plan reflects an overall average illumination level of 3.57 footcandles, which is well in excess of the 1.0 required in parking lots. Light pole heights were proposed at 15', Sam's Club were approved at 24'. The Planning Commission requested that a revised photometric be submitted to staff prior to City Council review. A revised photometric has been submitted which does not meet the average light levels committed to by the applicant. The applicant has indicated that a revised photometric would have a minimum of 2 footcandles in the parking lot and 5 footcandles at the building entries. The photometric does now reflect the addition of low level pedestrian lighting in front of the store entrances; however, it is not reflected around the gazebo or along the pedestrian walkway. 18
