Existing Condition
The 10.3 acre site is currently 2/3’s developed with a manufacturing facility and parking
lots. The building was built in 1985 and is about 127,000 SF in size.
Building Setbacks
The current building setbacks meet the requirements of the zoning ordinance and are not
proposed to be changed.
Vehicular Access and Circulation
The site would utilize an existing access to Spiral Boulevard and Enterprise Drive through
existing parking lots. One new access is proposed for truck traffic at the northwest corner
Planning Commission Memorandum
to be aligned across from an existing driveway. New parking and drives will have concrete
curbing. The existing parking lot on the west side will be overlaid, which would not require
the addition of curb and gutter.
Delivery and Loading Area
Adequate delivery and loading area is present on the northwest side of the site. The truck
entrance is proposed to improve truck access and loading.
Parking
Parking is acceptable from a building square footage perspective. They are required to have
127 spaces (1/1,000 SF) and currently have 162. The business has a higher number of
employees than a warehouse facility and has struggled with onsite parking in the past. They
are proposing to add an additional 21 net parking spaces. The parking regulations also
requires at least one space for each employee.
Architectural Standards
There are no changes proposed to the building at this time.
Tree Removal
Tree removal will require new plantings for significant trees per the city tree replacement
policy.
Landscaping
The landscape plan requirements do not come into effect on this proposal because the
building is not being expanded by 25%. Any required landscaping impacted must be
replaced.
Lighting
No site lighting is proposed to change. There is an existing street light adjacent to the
proposed parking lot.
