REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION DATE: 12/13/00 ITEM NO: 6a ~~~{~pproval: Manager Approved: Agenda Section: ~ OTHER ACTIONS Item Description: A request by Bret Thompson for sketch plan review of a redevelopment proposal for the vacant lot adjacent to Lexington Avenue, Trunk Highway 36, and Lovell Lane (private) into five attached office condominiums. (P.F.3277) 1.0 REQUESTED ACTION Mr. Bret Thompson is requesting Planning Commission comments and direction on his proposal to redevelop the property at 2330 Lexington Avenue for use as a five-unit office condominium. The proposal would require rezoning from R-l Single Family to Planned Unit Development with a base zoning of B-1, Limited Business District. The proposal also required a Comprehensive Land Use Plan amendment from High Density Residential (HDR) to Business (B). The property located to the north (Kinderberry Hill Child Development Center) has a zoning of R-3, General Residence District, and the townhomes located to the north and east developed by Good Value Homes has a zoning ofPUD. 2.0 BACKGROUND The proposal provides a single access from the private roadway located along the northern property line. This private road (Lovell Land) has an access to Lexington Avenue. The proposal calls for the preservation of a number of the mature trees on the west and east sides of the parcel. Landscaping is proposed mostly at the entry and adjacent the structure. A retention pond, approximately the size needed, is proposed to the east of the office units in the rear yard. The office condominiums are proposed in the rear 1/3 (eastside) of the parcel to assist with tree preservation. They will all be attached with the end units being slightly larger than the three interior units. The site has a west to east slope that allows the units to be designed as walkouts. Each unit will have its own mechanical equipment, lounge, kitchenette, storage, conference room, and multiple offices. The exterior of the structure will include brick, maintenance free lap siding, aluminum fascia, and other exterior amenities to give it a residential appearance. Off-street parking will be located in front of the structure adjacent to Lexington Avenue and incorporates preserved trees into the design. Parking is proposed at 35 spaces or 3/1000 square feet of gross floor area. The developer anticipates off-street parking demand to be much lower than the City Code requirement of 5/1 000 square feet of gross floor area. Planning File #3277 (Bret Thompson) Page 1 of2
