5.16 The City Planner has reviewed the proposed mixed use commercial and concluded the proposal meets these criteria. Specifically, the construction of a multi-use building housing office, automotive service, and automobile rental and leasing are permitted use in a B- 3 District, two of which require the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed uses will not create significant additional traffic on the 4 lane Cleveland Avenue, which will range between 9,000 and approximately 14,000 ADT through 2020. Transit service in this area of Cleveland is sporadic and relies on concentrated employment or retail customer base. There is no need for additional public utilities or facilities, which already have capacity for the proposed use. With proper exterior building treatment, drainage, and landscaping, the building will not have an impact on surrounding property or values. There appears to be no impact on general health, safety, and public welfare. In addition, the project complies with the Comprehensive Plan designation as a business use. 5.17 In commercial areas, no specific percentage of lot coverage is required. The Rice Creek Watershed reviews businesslindustrial properties differently than residences within the City Code. This redevelopment project will require an approved storm water management plan by the Rice Creek Watershed that addresses water run-off rate control and phosphorous removal. This could mean on-site ponding as shown on the site plan. 6.0 ST AFF RECOMMENDATION: 6.1 Based on the information and findings provided in Section 4 and 5 of this project report, the Community Development Staff recommends approval of the REZONING & CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT to allow the construction of a 9,000 sq. ft. mixed business structure and associated site improvements at 2579 Cleveland Avenue, subject to the following conditions: A. The proposed structure being placed at the required side yard setback, ten feet from the north property line, to allow for flexible parking on the south side of the building. B. The proposed mixed commercial structure being limited to a size not to exceed 9,000 sq. ft. (total square footage or a 5,700 sq. ft. footprint). C. Uses within the building being limited to those proposed by the applicant including office, automotive service, and automotive rental and leasing. D.
