BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Comprehensive Plan Classification
The 2020 Comprehensive Plan designates the property as C, Commercial. The proposed use is
consistent with the plan.
The comprehensive Plan and the Vermillion Street Development Guidelines discuss providing infill
development in this area along with controlled vehicular access and pedestrian connections.
Zoning Classification
The subject property is zoned C3, Community Regional Commerce, which allows for the use.
Adjacent Zoning and Land Use
The property is surrounded on 3 sides by commercial uses and across the alleyway are residential
homes.
Existing Condition
The site is .69 acres and vacant.
Proposed Improvements
The site will be developed with a new building and a parking lot.
SITE PLAN REVIEW
Proposed Building Setbacks
Setbacks in commercial districts are not specified. From the property lines, the proposed setbacks are
5.7' along 15 St, 10.9' along Vermillion St, and greater to the south and east. The small setbacks
adjacent to the roadways are common along Vermillion Street.
Pedestrian Access and Circulation
Pedestrian access and circulation are acceptable_ There will be a sidewalk access connection on
Vermillion Street.
Vehicular Access and Circulation
Access to the area will be from an alley that comes off of 15 Street. Staff believes access and
circulation are acceptable. All current accesses from Vermillion Street and 15 Streets will be
removed.
Parking Lot and Loading Areas
Parking requirements for retail are based on square feet; parking requirements for the warehousing
portion of the building are based on square feet and number of employees. There may be an
outstanding issues with delivery trucks and alley usage as the alley pavement south of the site and
turning radius on 16 Street may not be conducive to semi - trucks.
The required amount of loading space has been met (300 Sq Ft).
Use
Requirement
Spaces Required
Proposed
Retail
1 per 200 SgFt (2,800
15
finished)
33
warehousing
1 per 1,000 SgFt (< 1,000) or
About 10
1 per employee ( <10)
25 total required
Parking lots and loading areas are required to be screened from residential property with a 6' tall
fence and or 6' tall landscaping. Because the location of the parking lot and alley, there may not be
room for the required screening on the property. The Planning Commission directed the applicant to
offer additional trees to the neighbors screening to satisfy the screening requirement. (See attached
photo of adjacent home).
Landscaping
Requirements- 1 tree per 4,000 SgFt of paved surface = 3 trees
1 tree per 50' of perimeter = 14 + 3 from above = 17
1 shrub per 40' of perimeter = 9
Trees proposed = 4 on the plans, but has committed one more tree along Vermillion St. (5)
Shrubs proposed = 48 on the plans but has committed d many for required parking lot screening.
9 shrubs are required and >48 are being provided. 17 trees are required; 5 are being proposed and
there are 4 existing street trees along Vermillion. 8 additional trees are still required. The Planning
Commission believes it would be difficult to locate an additional 8 trees on this redevelopment site.
The Planning Commission recommended crediting the remaining 8 trees with the high number of
shrubs proposed and the possibility of additional trees on the adjacent property.
Trash and Recycling Enclosure
Outdoor waste storage is prohibited and a waste enclosure building must be constructed if waste and
recycling is not stored inside as follows:
1) Wall materials and colors shall be consistent with the main building
2) Outdoor storage shall be waste materials, palettes, boxes, debris, and the like shall be
prohibited unless it is screened from public view with a screen wall incorporating materials
and colors consistent with the main building.
The current proposal meets the Trash and Recycling Enclosure requirements
Signage
Signage will be processed administratively under a separate sign permit application. Although sign
permit review will take place after site plan approval, the following regulations are currently
applicable:
• 6' tall monument sign with a maximum of 50 Sq ft per side
• Wall signage - greater of 40 square feet or 5% of wall area per wall with street frontage.
Additional Requirements
A landscaped berm or opaque barrier including dense shrubbery is required between the parking
lot and Vermillion St. The applicant is proposing a 1.5' berm with dense evergreen shrubbery on
top.
Architectural Elevations
The building is required to have all facades composed of at least 65 percent of Class 1 or Class 2
materials, with Class 1 materials comprising at least 25 percent of the total.

remainder of the building will be glass windows (class 1), and brick columns (class 1). The only class
3 material on the building is the garage door.
Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control, and Utility Plan

Plans by the Public Works Director and the City's consultant engineer.

A lighting plan is required to be submitted showing the type and location of outdoor lights to
determine that they will not illuminate adjacent properties.
