H. CPD Requirements
a. Natural Environment
The property is located west of East Avenue, north of Hudson Street. The site is vacant with no landscaping and gravel surface.
b. Existing Land Use
The property is currently zoned CPD. This proposal permits modifications to the existing use list and the existing building and parking configuration remains the same.
c. Environment
East Hudson Street is a major east/west arterial which runs from Neil Avenue through to Cleveland Avenue and is lined with numerous high intensity commercial uses. East Avenue, regardless of its classification, serves as a residential collector. The street treatment proposed on Hudson Street will create the most aesthetically pleasing segment on all of East Hudson Street.
d. Visual Form
The architectural effort and result is to reduce the scale of the structure on the east side using a considerable setback, mounding, vegetation and other means of view interruption, offset building lines and façade features. The effect will be pleasing and infinitely better than most on East Avenue.
e. Visibility and Safety
The structure is a considerable distance from Hudson Street and, with the building for the most part facing the parking lots, the visibility will be unbroken. Consideration has been given to the visibility and safety and the site plan is a direct result thereof. Well defined access points, uniform appearance and shops facing the parking lot will greatly enhance the visibility and safety.
f. Behavior Patterns
The part of East Avenue here involved functions primarily as a part of a larger residential development stretching a considerable distance on both sides of East Avenue to the north and south. The structure provides both residential and commercial service to the considerable areas to the north and south.
The facility services the same customer population and would draw few, if any, additional people to the area. The proposal functions as an independent commercial strip. The development will be from an aesthetic standpoint, a considerable upgrading comparable design improvement to the area.
g. Emissions
In view of the intension of land use on East Avenue and Hudson Street there will be no relevant increase of or addition to emissions.
SECTION 4. That this ordinance shall take effect and be in force from and after the earliest period allowed by law. That for the reasons stated in the preamble hereto, which is hereby made a part hereof, this ordinance is hereby declared to be an emergency measure and shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage and approval by the Mayor or 10 days after its passage if the Mayor neither approves nor vetoes the same.
