Staff has provided photos of the existing plant to illustrate <br />how the plant expansion will look, noting the plant expansion may also take on some elements of <br />the DCS (like steel, stone, and/or wood). <br /> <br />Any new construction of a commercial nature requires review and approval of a Site Plan. <br />Zoning Code Section 4-040 outlines the lot standards in an R – 1 district. Because the special <br />use is not residential in nature, certain R – 1 standards do not apply. The following applicable <br />Site Plan considerations are outlined below: <br /> <br />Building Setbacks <br />Section 4-040(1) & (3) provides for building setback standards, consisting of the following: <br /> <br />Section 4-040(1)&(3) Required (minimum) Existing Proposed <br />North 30’ 25’ (well house #6)* <br />80’ (WTP1) <br />93’ (plant expansion) <br />295’ (DCS) <br />South 5’ 40’ (well house #5) <br /> <br />245’ (DCS) <br />419’ (plant expansion) <br />East 5’ 90’ (well house #5) 36’ (DCS) <br />77’ (plant expansion) <br />West 5’ 8’ (existing plant) 214’ (DCS) <br />*When built, the 30’ setback was met, however over time additional right-of-way was acquired <br />shifting the boundary 5’ to the south. This is considered a legal nonconformity. <br />
