Plan: Mixed Use Commercial Applicant/Owner Preliminary Proposal: The applicant is proposing to replace the existing building on site, a warehouse that is approximately 2,200 SF, with a new building. The new structure would be approximately 80 feet by 140 feet, measuring approximately 11,200 SF and would be primarily used for the storage of private vehicles, including recreational vehicles, with a small office/bathroom area. Some of the vehicles on-site will be repossessed vehicles, but all will be licensed and operable. The applicant is proposing that the structure have a metal frame with brick veneer, stucco, and metal panels added to the exterior. The proposed new building would be located along the northern edge of the property, with a paved surface parking area to the south. The current proposal leaves the back 60' of the lot (at the western end of the property) unpaved, with gravel only. The building is oriented so that large recreational vehicles can pull directly into the structure from Van Gordon, without having to make a turn on-site, due to their large turning radius. The proposal includes a relocated access point on Van Gordon, as well as installation of curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements along the street. Will a neighborhood meeting need to be held prior to application submittal? No, a neighborhood meeting will not be required since the only process needed is to apply for a building permit. Existing Conditions: The property is zoned Light Industrial (I), an industrial district that permits the use of previous Industrial (I) -zoned property for commercial and light industrial uses. The site is located on the west side of Van Gordon Street, with the I-70 Frontage Road North to the south and W 49`" Place to the north. The area is just south of the existing BNSF railroad corridor and the future Ward Road commuter rail station, which will be located approximately at Ward Road and 50`h Ave. The properties to the north, south, east and west are all zoned industrial — either the I district or a Planned Industrial District (PID). The site, which is approximately 43,037 SF, contains an existing 2,200 SF structure. The rest of the lot is unimproved with gravel surface. There is a small strip of landscaping along the Van Gordon Street frontage and the property is accessed off of Van Gordon. Planning comments: The zoning code requires any portion of a commercial or industrial property that is used for the circulation or parking of vehicles be paved. This means that the current property, which has several vehicles parked on gravel, is nonconforming. It also means that any area proposed for vehicle circulation or parking with the new building and site configuration must be paved with asphalt or concrete. There area at the back of the lot (to the west) that is not shown as paved in the current site plan will need to be paved wherever RVs exiting the structure will drive, as well as where any vehicles may be parked for storage. 2 The code also requires that 20% of the site area is landscaped. Please see Section 26-502.D.3 for specific landscape requirements, including required street trees along Van Gordon. The required landscaped elements should be included in a Landscape Plan included with the building permit application. Within any industrial district, the zoning code requires that a warehouse use is at least 25% office. This means that at least 25% of the floor area of the proposed new structures should be office use (the bathrooms may be counted toward this area). There are several issues related to the Architectural and Site Design Manual (ASDM). The site is within the contemporary overlay established in the ASDM, which requires a 0-20' build -to area for 40% of the primary street frontage. This means that at least 40% of the frontage along Van Gordon Street will need to contain a building somewhere between 0' and 20' from the property line. One front of way to meet this build -to might be to add the office/bathroom component to the (east end) the structure. Please note that it would also help fulfill the transparency requirements described below to have an office at the front of the building close to Van Gordon Street. The building must meet the architectural standards in the ASDM for commercial/industrial buildings. These requirements include: • Minimum 60% transparency at the ground floor for the facade facing Van Gordon Street. Transparency is calculated as the percentage of the ground floor elevation as measured from the finished grade at the base of the wall, to the second level finished floor elevation. 2 Please include transparency calculations as part of the building elevations submitted with the building permit application. • Metal panels may only be used as an accent material and may not compose more than 20% of the fagade. Please include the percent calculation of metal exterior for each fagade on the building elevations in the building permit drawing set. Process The proposed use is allowed under the current I zoning and no land -use application is needed. The applicant will need to apply for a building permit. The building permit application will include a site plan, landscape plan, building elevations, and the necessary drainage documents required by Public Works (see more below). Planning staff will review the application for compliance with the ASDM as part of the building permit review. Public Works will review the drainage documents as part of the building permit review. Public Works comments: The new paving on-site will require drainage improvements, including detention and water quality. Please see the requirements from Public Works that were distributed at the meeting, and are also attached. Building comments: Building Department not present at the meeting. Please contact John Schumacher, Chief Building Official, with any questions related to the building code. Streetscape / Architectural Design comments: The Architectural and Site Design Manual does apply to the new structure. Please see the comments above under "Planning comments."

The existing building will be demolished and a new 80x140 building would be constructed in its place. The facade will be primarily brick veneer and stucco with the west and north sides will being metal panels. We are requesting a front setback along Van Gordon of 50' which would allow vehicles pulling boats to maneuver into the building without impeding traffic along Van Gordon. The site is approximately 148 x 250 feet. The improvements along Van Gordon would be new curb and gutter with a new entry curb cut and sidewalk. We will be paving the east and south sides for parking. The west back lot will remain gravel. New landscaping will be per city requirements. 4) N 0 R T H 148' V A N C O R D O N STREET fi iROF05ED 51TE FLAN 234 COLUMBINE ST.
