Body
Resolved, in the matter of City File No. PSP2023-0025 (North Hill Shopping Center Retail Building), the Planning Commission approves the Site Plan, based on plans received by the Planning Department on January 8, 2024, with the following findings and subject to the following conditions.
Findings
1. The site plan and supporting documents demonstrate that all applicable requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, as well as other City Ordinances, standards, and requirements, can be met subject to the conditions noted below.
2. The proposed project will be accessed from the two (2) existing driveways to Rochester Road as well as the existing drives for the overall shopping center to Tienken Road, thereby promoting safety and convenience of vehicular traffic both within the site and on adjoining streets. The proposed site will remain fully integrated into the overall shopping center complex as it was previously.
3. Off-street parking areas have been designed to avoid common traffic problems and promote customer safety.
4. The proposed improvements should have a satisfactory and harmonious relationship with the development on-site as well as existing development in the adjacent vicinity.
5. The proposed development will not have an unreasonably detrimental or injurious effect upon the natural characteristics and features of the site or those of the surrounding area.
6. That the location of the loading and unloading zone and dumpster in the side yard (south side) as shown on the site plan is appropriate given the proposed use of the site, the manner in which the enclosure is integrated into the building design and the landscaping being provided.
7. The total number of parking spaces on site (498) is appropriate given that the site is largely an existing site, the proposed new building is actually larger than the building being replaced and the parking ratio is coming closer to compliance with City regulations.
Conditions
1. Address all applicable comments from other City departments and outside agency review letters, prior to final approval by staff including all comments noted on the site plans contained within the Planning Commission packets.
2. Provide a landscaping bond in the amount of $31,363 based on the cost estimate for landscaping and irrigation, plus inspection fees, as adjusted as necessary by staff prior to temporary grade certification being issued by Engineering.
3. Developer to work with staff regarding the site amenities being consistent with the adopted City Gateways and Streetscape Master Plan, and additional amenities and landscape being provided for the amenity space alongside Rochester Road are to be in compliance with citywide illumination requirements.
