Design Standards <br /> <br />A. Lighting – Meets Requirements <br />The Applicant has submitted a lighting plan that identifies pole heights and lumen levels at the <br />property lines. Other than wash or architectural lighting, attached security lighting shall be <br />shoebox style and downward directed with flush lenses. The Applicant is proposing to use LED <br />lighting to illuminate the parking areas. <br /> <br />B. Screening – Meets Requirements <br />Screening for fences, walls, landscaping, and berms including materials with construction details <br />shall match or complement the construction of the principle building. The Site Plan submitted by <br />the Applicant depicts significant landscaping along Gateway Boulevard which will assist in <br />screening the loading area and docks from the view of the public. The Applicant is stating that <br />landscaping will achieve 60 percent opacity year round at maturity. According to the submitted <br />plans all ground and rooftop mechanical equipment is proposed to be screened. <br /> <br />C. Planting Islands – Meets Requirements <br />Planting islands are required to visually break up expanses of hard-surface parking areas, to <br />provide safe and efficient traffic movement, and to define rows of parking. Planting islands should <br />occupy at least 10 percent of the parking area and be edged with concrete curbs. Parking lot <br />planting islands shall be a minimum of 150 square feet in area, be of appropriate width and length, <br />and include at least one (1) tree meeting the requirements of this ordinance. There will not be <br />multiple rows or large expanses of parking as there will be multiple landscaped bump outs breaking <br />up the parking field. The landscaping will separate the building from the parking areas. <br /> <br />D. Minimum Caliper Inches – Meets Requirements <br />The Zoning Code requires that a minimum number of caliper inches be provided based on the <br />gross square footage of the principal building and the building height. The minimum total caliper <br />inches equal the gross square footage of all the floors of the principal building divided by 320. The <br />proposed building would be considered a four-story structure, and contains 191,796 gross square <br />feet. This requires a minimum of 558 caliper inches be planted. The plans provided by the <br />Applicant indicate that they are meeting this requirement with 564 caliper inches. <br /> <br />E. Tree Selection – Meets Requirements <br />The proposed landscape plan includes a variety of tree species, including maples, oaks and <br />evergreens, ranging in size from two and half (2.5) to six (6) caliper inches. This is consistent with <br />ordinance requirements. The Applicant is proposing to plant six (6) to twelve (12) foot tall <br />evergreens. <br /> <br />F. Landscaped Area and Perennials and Shrubberies – Meets Requirements <br />Zoning Code requires 35 percent of the site to be landscaped or 97,574 square feet. The <br />landscaping plan shows that the total landscaped area provided on the site is 143,858 square feet. <br />The Zoning Code requires a minimum of 10 percent of the total landscaped area to be covered <br />with perennials and/or shrubbery. The total landscaped area on the site is 97,574 square feet, <br />resulting in the need for a minimum of 9,757 square feet of perennial and shrubbery cover. The <br />proposed perennial and shrub planting beds includes more than 17,350 square feet. <br />
