Review of Site Plan Staff is asking the Planning Board and City Commission to authorize staff to provide final approval of the site development plan.

Development Services staff initially identifies the following issues: General Zoning: This commercial personal service and office use is allowable in CN zoning, within the Downtown Overlay District. The Applicant will not be able to provide adequate off-street parking for the entire square footage of the building(s), and so the Applicant will have to request on-street public parking. Use issues: The design of the office addition provides for bathroom space and kitchen areas which are allowable within an office, but may not be designed as a dwelling unit, i.e. have cooking facilities. To ensure that this office unit is not converted to a dwelling unit not permitted in the CN zoning district, the applicant will need to sign and record an affidavit stating the office area will not be converted to a dwelling and be used for office purposes only. Landscaping: The Applicant will need to provide a minimal landscape plan. Lighting: All additional lighting will need to meet the design criteria of the City s Outdoor Lighting and Road Glare ordinance. Traffic: The Applicant will need to provide a statement of traffic impact acceptable to the City Engineer. Parking: It appears the illustrated parking lot design is consistent with the LDC. The Applicant will not be able to provide adequate off-street parking on site, and so the Applicant will have to request on-street public parking. Utilities: Applicant will need to comply will all utility connection requirements, including providing underground electric service to the new addition. Drainage: Applicant will need to comply will all storm water management requirements for the new addition, showing that this improvement will retain one inch over site in a 10/24 storm event, as required by LDC Section 4-47A, and Comprehensive Plan Policy VI-D.1.1. G. Planning Board Review Per LDC Section 3-14, Downtown Overlay District, any land owner applying for a permit to construct a new building, or renovate, redevelop, revitalize or reuse an existing commercial or multifamily building is required to seek recommendation by the Planning Board, and be granted approval by the City Commission.
