The expansion or modification does not increase the overall, site-wide degree <br />of nonconformity. <br />STAFF COMMENTS: Criterion met. The building modification will not pull the <br />existing structure away from the street any more than it current is. Utilizing <br />allowable buildable area on the property is a proper way to expand and use the <br />property in its current form. <br />7. The applicant can demonstrate that zoning and Comprehensive Plan <br />requirements are met to the greatest degree practical. These requirements <br />include, but are not limited to: parking, landscaping, architectural design and <br />façade treatment, and site design. <br />STAFF COMMENTS: Criterion met. Parking, landscaping, architectural materials <br />& design, etc. will all meet or exceed expectations for a building expansion in this <br />zoning district. <br />8. Proposed departures from Zoning and Comprehensive Plan requirements are <br />addressed through superior design and/or additional community/site <br />amenities. <br />STAFF COMMENTS: Criterion met. Specifically with parking lot screening to the <br />north, the applicants are proposing solutions with landscaping in excess of minimum <br />requirements in recognition of the anticipated tree loss. <br />9. The expansion or modification will not: <br />a. Significantly impede implementation of goals and policies of the <br />Comprehensive Plan <br />STAFF COMMENTS: Staff did not identify any way in which this <br />investment will negatively impact the comp plan or the vision for this area <br />of the community. <br />b. Have undue adverse impacts on neighboring residential properties; <br />STAFF COMMENTS: Provided code requirements for lighting and <br />drainage are followed, there should be no new, unique, or adverse impacts <br />on surrounding properties.
