2 6.15 § 1006.05A3 (Special Requirements When Rear Yard Includes Loading Area) states.- 3 Where a rear yard of a shopping center district includes the loading and servicing area 4 of a shopping center building and where such a rear yard is adjacent to or across the 5 street from a residential district, the building setback shall be one hundred twenty feet 6 (12,0 �, and the buffer strip shall be sixtyfeet (60��. 7 8 Given the complexities in locating the new store (addressed above) it would be 9 nearly impossible to achieve full compliance with these requirements and still 10 construct an efficient site and store. The Planning Division has concluded that I I requiring an additional buffer and setback is impractical and that the impact of the 12 new store and drive lane, though in a very similar location to the existing condition, 13 can be mitigated by the inclusion of landscape, specifically coniferous trees 14 (evergreens) on the slope. 15 16 6.16 § 1006.05B (Floor Area Ratio) states.- Ratio between floor area of building and lot area 17 exclusive ofpublic right-of-way easements, shall not be greater than 1. Q, except as 18 approved in the project master plan or a site specific Planned Unit Development. 19 20 The Round 's has a parcel size of 335,897 sq. ft. (7.7 acres) and would be comprised 21 of approximately 65,000 sq. ft. in structure footprints for a floor area ratio of 0.19. 22 23 6.17 § 1006.05C (Building Height) states.- Building height shall be limited to three (3) stories 24 above the main entry or first floor grade (as defined in the approved project master plan 25 or the Planned Unit Development for the site. In no event shall a building exceed thirty 26 five feet (35) in height above the main entry or first floor grade level (as defined in the 27 approved project master plan or the Planned Unit Development for the site) or as 28 amended through a Planned Unit Development. 29 30 In review of the proposal, the elevation drawing indicates a structure height of 40 31 feet at the entry feature. This height is due to the inclusion of design improvements 32 necessary to address building mass and to give the structure character. The 40 foot 33 height would be located at the entry element of the structure and does not appear to 34 be significantly tall compared to the rest of the structure. The Planning Division 35 and TALC' staff supports the proposed height increase to that specific portion of the 36 structure. Limiting the height would eliminate the creative solutions staff has 37 sought for this site and the structure in particular. 38 39 6.18 §1006.05D (Traffic) states.- The site plan shall provide vehicular circulation routes away 4O f o resi en ial areas and avoid commercial vehicle ingress and egress o local 41 residential streets to commercial property sites. In the site plan review and approval 4 process, every reasonable effort must be made to design the site circulation so that 43 service vehicles over one ton capacity do not use routes which bring vehicles between a 44 building and a residential district boundary. The site plan shall also provide pedestrian 45 access routes using walks or paths, including where practical, connections to adjacent 4 residential areas. Service vehicles over one ton capacity which enter or exit the site PF'08-005—RCA-022508.doc Page 6 of I I
