Additionally, Zoning Code Section 6-720 specifies certain building types based on block location within the New Brighton Exchange zoning district. The applicant's property is designated at a"B2"building type, which consists of the following: • Office uses with flat or pitched roof • At least 15% of the site area must be occupied by buildings at least 2 stories in height (no maximum height). The proposed building is compliant with the B2 building type as it is three stories in height, consists of a flat roof, and occupies 20% of the site area(17,680 SF footprint/ 84,513 SF of land area). Building Setbacks Section 6-710 Required Proposed 11' —building Front (Old Highway 8 NW) 10' minimum—40' maximum 24' —trash enclosure* Rear (west) 15' —150' Side (north) 0' 35' —trash enclosure* 70' -building Side/Corner (south) 10' minimum—40' maximum 33' *The trash enclosure is considered an accessory structure with setback standards the same and noted in the above table, except the front yard setback must be 5' greater than the principal building. As noted in the above table, all required building setbacks are met. Building Height Section 6-720(2) indicates that no maximum building height exists for the `B2" building type. This is common throughout the New Brighton Exchange zoning district, where higher densities are encouraged. As noted in the previous section, the B2 building type does specify the building must be at least 2 stories in height. The proposed building is 3 stories tall with a maximum height of 47', meeting this standard. Also worth noting, there is a screen wall for the roof-top mechanical equipment that is roughly 6' tall. Some areas of the building have a higher parapet wall, which screens some portions of this screen wall, depending on which side of the building is being viewed.
