71 f. the applicant shall provide for recording against the shopping center property a legal 72, description of land that, in the event of the future sale of the shopping center property 73 or the office property to a third party, enough land would be conveyed to the office 74 property to achieve a 10- 00t building setback from the southern property line. 75 6.2 Since the GENERAL CONCEPT approval, PHS reduced the proposed building size to about 76 27,,000 square feet of building area to add to the existing 24,000-square-foot structure for 77 a total of about 51,000 square feet. The reduction in floor area from the GENERAL 78 CONCEPT PUD is largely accomplished by scaling back the exercise facilities as well as 79 some storage and common areas, and eliminating the indoor trash handling equipment. 8o 6.3 The revised proposal utilizes the existing brick dumpster enclosure instead of housing the 81 trash handling equipment indoors. At the request of City staff, the applicant has evaluated 82, the possibility of installing a roof on the existing enclosure and found that it would likely 83 cost more than constructing an entirely new, enclosed structure. Community 84 Development staff is supportive of a detached recycling/trash-handling facility and, while 85 staff is sensitive to cost constraints,, the recommendation will include requiring the 86 installation of a roof on the existing structure or the construction of a new, roofed 8 7' enclosure that is otherwise consistent with the requirements of § 1010.11 (Trash. Handling 88 Equipment) of the City Code because such a requirement is in line with the recent 89 approvals of other similar projects. Such a detached structure could be safely and 90 efficiently situated in several locations on the property which would not require trucks to 91 back onto Ha aline Avenue or Centennial Drive,, and Community Development staff will 92, continue to recommend a condition like condition "a"' above to ensure safe circulation. 9 3 6.4 A condition like condition "b"' of the GENERAL CONCEPT PUD approval will be 94 recommended,, requiring the installation of landscaping around a detached trash enclosure 95 to soften its appearance. 96 6.5 Condition "c"',, to install a sidewalk adjacent to the existing building, would appear to be 9 7 satisfied on the revised site plan (included with this staff report in Attachment E)�, but the 98 condition was intended to require a direct connection to Centennial Drive as discussed in 99 more detail in the staff report prepared for the City Council review of the GENERAL 100 CONCEPT PUD proposal. Public Works staff has indicated that an DA -co pliant 101 sidewalk is necessary along the western end of the existing building to provide a direct 102, connection between the proposed main building entry and the public sidewalk along 103 Centennial Drive; staff continues to recommend such a requirement. 104 6.6 The proposed office expansion will generate the same parking demand as was reviewed 105 in the GENERAL CONCEPT PUD,, so parking concerns addressed in condition "d"' remain. 106 The documentation for an existing parkin /access easement has since been unearthed and 10 7' is included with this staff report as Attachment F. Because nothing in the existing 108 document would be made obsolete by the current PUD proposal, it appears to be 109 unnecessary to supersede the existing document with a new easement; this condition will 110 therefore be removed from the recommendation. ill 6.7 The revised plans indicate that the proposed building has been reduced in length by about 112, 20 feet,, resulting in a building setback of 22 feet from the southern side property line. 113 The intent of condition 'T " above,, was to ensure an appropriate building setback from the PF08-024RCA091508 (3).doc Page 3 of 5
