DEPARTMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS (PROPOSED USE) Community Development 1. Proposed Use: The applicant wishes to construct a 20,000 square foot two story building addition with basement to the south of the existing facility. The addition will provide more manufacturing, office and warehouse space. 2. Density/FAR: The total floor area of the existing facilities and the proposed addition would be 59,171 square feet. The FAR would be 43%. In an industrial zoning a FAR of 60% is allowed for a two story building. 3. Building Setbacks: The proposed addition would be setback 32 feet from the 8th Avenue NW right~of~way and 16 feet from the south property line. The required street yard setback in an industrial zoning is 40 feet. An 8 foot variance along 8th Avenue NW is being requested. The variance is needed because the building addition cannot be moved further to the east and the applicant cannot meet his needs with a smaller building. The building cannot be moved further east because the sanitary sewer cannot be relocated any further to the east. The variance will align the proposed addition with the current building on 8th Ave. NW and make the proposed addition even with the south property line. There will be a 36 foot front yard landscaped area consistent with the Highway 8 Corridor Plan. The 16 foot side yard setback complies with the district standards.
