NORTHEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.34± acre site consists of two parcels developed with a parking lot in the R-4, Residential District. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will conform the existing parking lot. The CPD text includes appropriate use restrictions and supplemental development standards that address parking setbacks, vehicular access, landscaping and screening, graphics and signage, and includes a commitment to maintain the site in accordance with the submitted site plan. Code modifications to interior parking lot trees, parking setbacks, and vision clearance are included in the text. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the Northeast Area Plan (2007), which recommends “Low-Density Residential” land uses at this location. Although the proposal is not consistent with the Plan’s recommended land use, staff supports the requested use as the existing parking lot is associated with an institutional use, and the submitted site plan is consistent with the Plan’s design standards with pedestrian connectivity, headlight screening, and landscaping.
