MEMORANDUM TO: Marty Hanson, Plan Reviewer FROM: Kim Lee, City Planner DA rE: July 14, 1997 SUBJ: Planning/Zoning Comments on Fairview H.A. LLC Plans - 2621 Fairview Ave. The purpose of this memo is identify planning and zoning concerns with the plans submitted by Fairview H.A. LLC for property at 2621 Fairview Avenue (Building Permit No. A97 -696). In reviewing the plans, the following issues were identified and marked on the plans: Site Plan (A-1) 1. The plan indicates a 50% office/50% warehouse use of the property. This split of uses requires 116 off-street parking spaces, although only 109 are shown on the plan. We need to have the location of the additional seven spaces shown on the plan, as well as proof of parking if more than 50% of the building is used for office. 2. Off~street parking areas must be set back a minimum of 40 feet from a public right- of-way, while the plan shows a setback of approximately 15 feet. With a combination of permanent year-round screening and landscaping no less than 36" in height, the parking setback may be reduced to 20 feet (Section 1007.01A). 3. Rooftop equipment and structures need to be screened, rather than painted to match the building. Section 1010.07 of the City Code states, IIrooftop equipment, including rooftop structures related to elevators, must be completely screened from eye level view from contiguous properties and adjacent streets. Such equipment shalf be screened with parapets or other materials similar to and compatible with exterior materials and architectural treatment on the structure being served. Horizontal or vertical slats of wood material shall not be used for this purpose." 4. A lighting plan is required. Section 1010.12, City Code, required all light fixtures to be of a downcast, cutoff type, concealing the light source from view and preventing glare. Exterior Elevations (A-3) 1. An architectural detail of the band area (soldier course face brick) is required.
