Generally, facilities which offer out-patient services require a ratio of 5-6/1,000, while in-patient operations require about half, approximately 3/1,000. While the CDDSG requires a ration of 6/1,000, the approved Preliminary PUD Concept Plan does authorize a ratio of 3.3/1,000. The applicant has provided a parking survey which tracked the availability of spaces for a two week period during weekday hours of 9 a.m., 12 p.m., and 3 p.m. The survey reflects that the current demand may be running at a ratio closer to 3 spaces/I,000 sfthan 3.5 spaces/I,000 sr. In reviewing backup information for the 1987 Preliminary Concept Plan, these minimum setbacks were discussed as part of the record and are believed to be the standing requirement for the Health Park: 50 feet from internal property lines 85 feet from South 88th Street 75 feet from perimeter property lines 170 feet from US 36 75 feet from Hospital Lane (Health Park Drive) The Final PUD Development Plan proposes a 50' setback from the south property line, and a 170' minimum setback from US 36. The actual MOB II setback from the edge of US 36 right-of-way is a minimum of 210'. The Planning Commission supported a reduced setback from 75' to 50' for the south property line, as the location of the MOB II relative to the south property line maximizes the ability of the adjoining berm and landform to screen the building from US 36. The grading plan reflects the installation of a retaining wall along the south property line in support of maintaining the ridge line as a visual screen from US 36. The revised grading plan has reduced the length of the retaining wall from 400' to 150'. In response to a Planning Commission recommendation the revised grading plan reflects that the retaining wall has been terraced and a planting strip has been incorporated on the terrace. The height of the wall will vary between a minimum of 5.5' to a maximum of 7.0'. The overall sign program currently in place for the Health Park was approved as a formal PUD amendment in March of 1990. An administrative amendment to the PUD was authorized by the Planning Director in December of 1997, which allowed the property owner to change-out sign faces to reflect the name of the new owner, Centura Health/Avista Adventist Hospital. The authorized amendment was approved based upon its consistency in square footage, location, height, and method of illumination with the approved sign package. The Commission recommended that the PUD be revised to reflect proposed signage on the PUD prior to City Council review. A July 28, 1998, letter from the applicant indicates that signage has not been finalized, but that it will be consistent with the wall-mounted sign currently on MOB I. A revised photometric provides for both 24' and 27'-high pole standards with both having 250 watt metal halide fixtures. Average illumination in the west parking lots is lower (1.48 fc) than the east lot (1.62 fc). Lighted bollards should have been added to identify pedestrian walkways and drop-off areas in the east parking lot, per Section 8.4 CDDSG. 8
