storage out of the 50’ required Shoreland setback and install additional landscaping in the eastern yard area to provide screening. Required # of Parking Stalls Zoning Code Section 11-030 (1) states that only 90% of the gross floor area shall be used in calculating the off-street parking requirement. Section 11-030 (3) requires off-street parking for office uses at a ratio of 1 stall per 200 SF. Thus, the following amount of off-street parking stalls shall be required: 3,180 SF – 10% = 2,862 SF / 200 SF = 14 stalls The applicant proposes installing five new bituminous parking stalls. Additionally, based on the parking layout of the site, at least 100 additional parking stalls could be accommodated if not being used for the storage of trailers. Staff finds the site to be adequately parked. Landscaping The landscaping required per Resolution 16-077 will remain. While the building has decreased in size, it was already small enough whereby the site perimeter is what determined the amount of landscaping to be installed. Performance Standards The only applicable performance standards impacted by the revised Site Plan is the exterior materials standard. The below excerpt from the original Site Plan review remains applicable and the applicant must add a brick, stone, or decorative block element to the front façade of the proposed building. From the original Site Plan analysis: Section 6-390 (12) states the exterior treatment on the street side of the structure shall be brick, stone, tilt-up slabs, architectural metal panels, decorative block, or the equivalent. The other sides of the structure shall not be raw block. The proposed modular building consists of siding, metal doors and window frames, vinyl windows, a steel roof and metal skirting. The street side of the proposed structure does not meet these minimum standards. Staff suggests the applicant work with the manufacturer to add brick, stone, or a decorative block to the north side of the structure. While the structure is likely not readily viewable from the roadway, amendments to the exterior finishes are necessary to meet the intent of this standard. Shoreland Impacts No changes to Shoreland impacts are proposed. The Commission has requested per the 2016 approval that a sign be erected at the 50’ shoreland setback to ensure, over time, trailer storage does not encroach into the setback area. This remains a condition of approval. Public Safety Comments Public Safety provided comments, which are contained in the attached interoffice memorandum dated 7/6/2017. This has been made a condition of approval. Public Works/Engineering Comments The comments contained in the interoffice memorandum from the City Engineer, attached to the 8/11/2016 Planning Report, remain valid and must be incorporated into the final plans.
