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. Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. Garth Braun, Garth Braun & Associates, 954 Pearl Street, Boulder, Colorado, representing applicants Bryan Alu and Charles Hurth, stated, concerning the parking, that they will park according to the land use regulations. He felt it would require some rewording of the second condition stating they will limit parking according to current and future land use regulations. Concerning the sidewalks, they had stated on their PUD that they intend to comply with the sidewalk master plan for CTC. They will install the sidewalk on their property. They will make necessary modifications to the drainage pond which will be affected by the installation. He requested a modification to the installation of the sidewalk, the attachment of the sidewalk to the curb. Conceming the lighting, they have had 400 watt fixtures on the site since it was built in 1988 and they asked to maintain that level of lighting. Davidson called for Council comments or questions. Davidson suggested concerning Condition No. 1, deleting all of the words after "...Certificate of Occupancy...". On Condition No. 2, go to 40% office space and delete Condition No. 3. Keany moved that Council approve Resolution No. 47, Series 1997, with the following amendments: Condition No. 1, deleting all of the words after "...Certificate of Occupancy...". On Condition No. 2, go to 40% office space and delete Condition No. 3, seconded by Lathrop. All in favor with Sisk being excused and Howard and Levihn being absent.
