MEMORANDUM DATE: May 6, 2015 PC Agenda Item 3.A TO: Planning Commission FROM: Matthew Bachler, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Planning Case #15-008 - Public Hearing Required Applicant: Holiday Stationstore, Inc. Property Location: 1920 West Highway 96 Request: Planned Unit Development Amendment Requested Action Holiday Stationstores, Inc. has requested a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment to install a single tube of LED architectural accent lights along the top edge of the canopy and the roofline of the building at the Holiday service station located at 1920 West Highway 96. The amendment would update the building and canopy elevations for the approved PUD. Flexibility has been requested in this case through the PUD process because the proposed accent lighting does not conform to the City Code regulations on exterior lighting.

A CUP was required for the proposed use of the property as a service station with convenience retail and car wash in the G-B - Gateway Business District. The site was developed through the PUD process and allowed the developer flexibility on parking lot setback requirements and use of certain building materials in exchange for additional landscaping on the property and an overall superior building design. 1. Overview of Request Holiday Stationstores, Inc. has proposed to install accent lighting on the canopy and building of the existing service station and convenience store.
