• 141,360 square foot building • 290 parking stalls for employees • 527 parking stalls for delivery vehicles • 72 staging stalls for delivery vehicles • 15 loading bays for semi -trailers Trailers will deliver goods to the site for sorting and distribution. Delivery vehicles will leave the site to bring goods to their ultimate destinations. This will result in a high volume of trips to and from the site. The routes of travel along 20th and 21st Avenues will use Main Street to leave the vicinity via Highway 35E. The number of vehicles stacking on Main Street could influence the County to employ restrictive turns or other control measures. Impacts from such things as an abundance of outdoor lighting or the number of vehicles on site may be reduced through innovative planning which may exceed performance standards set by the Code. Regulatory Tools Site Plan Review Process — A Site Plan review is required and is used to regulate design features on the site. Conditional Use Permit - Like the recent Sutton development, the truck terminal aspect of this site requires a conditional use permit. The CUP will employ appropriate conditions to regulate vehicle impacts from use of the site as a truck terminal. Planned Unit Development - The purpose of a Planned Unit Development is to provide a comprehensive procedure intended to allow greater flexibility in the development of a site than would be possible under a conventional zoning district. While not required by the proposed uses for the site, the Code allows the Commission to require the use of a PUD when it finds that its use is appropriate for the proposed development on the site. Generally speaking, a PUD would allow the development to exceed zoning or performance standards. A PUD may be required when the Commission finds that its use is necessary for a given development. The purpose of this memo is for the Commission to decide if a PUD is an appropriate tool to use for regulating the development of Project Banjo. Basis To Require A Planned Unit Development: Challenges Presented By The Project • Vehicle impacts: Hundreds of vehicles will use the site on a daily basis. Vehicles will create a variety of impacts. For example, backup -alarms may be heard in nearby residential areas, or the considerable number of vehicles may challenge existing traffic patterns or create congestion on nearby roadways. • Light impacts: The site will have vast parking lots with extensive lighting which may be seen from a distance. 2
