Roll call was taken. Motion passed by a 6-0 vote. RESOLUTION No. 45, SERIES 1998 - FINAL PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR A 70,000 SF MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING - AVISTA ADVENTIST HOSPITAL, 100 HEALTH PARK DRIVE Davidson called for staff introduction. Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated the applicant has submitted a Final PUD Development Plan for the addition of a second, 70,000 sf medical office building, referred to as MOB II. The square footage of this building is not consistent with the previous preliminary PUD plan. Upon approval of the General Development Plan presented in Ordinance No. 1284, Series 1998, it will be. The MOB II and the existing MOB I will be connected by a three-story glass atrium covering a lobby area, which will serve as the main entry for both office buildings. The proposed atrium element will extend to a maximum height of 52', or 10' above the height of the roof parapet at the three-story level. Type and color of exterior building materials proposed for the MOB II will be consistent with MOB I. Building elevations indicate the use of running brick veneer, off-set with accent bands of vertical brick soldier courses in patterning, which is consistent with MOB II. The proposed landscape plan generally meets standards and guidelines of CDDSG. The landscape plan reflects approximately 92 deciduous shade trees within the parking lot, in addition to 33 evergreen trees for screening and visual variety. The final landscape plan reflects a total of 384 trees. Approximately 35% of that total are evergreens, which are being located primarily along the south and west property lines to provide visual screening from US 36. In addition to landscaping, the grading plan is proposing the creation of new landforms both parallel to the south property line and at the west property line. The proposed landforms/berms are provided in response to Council comments forwarded from the May 5, 1998, City Council meeting. While the context of those comments was to provide additional screening of the parking structure, the applicant has retained the landform even though the parking structure has been eliminated. Based upon the grade of US 36, the berm will be expanded to provide up to an additional 5' of screening for east-bound traffic. The grading plan proposes to maintain the sign at its current location, which would sit two feet below the peak of the new landform. Currently, surface parking to the east of the hospital entrance has capacity for 421 spaces. A secondary surface lot to the north of the hospital adds an additional 65 spaces, for a total of 486. The existing parking serves a total of 140,000 sr. An additional 350 surface spaces will be constructed in conjunction with MOB II. The proposed west lot will contain 205 spaces, exclusively for MOB II use.
