ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
A concept plan for this site was first submitted on October 21, 2024, prior to the adoption of the supplemental standards for warehouse distribution and manufacturing uses. The following three alternative standards are requested: a) to modify the building orientation of building 1 in lieu of the orientation required by the UDC, Section VI.8.1.C.2.b, to be parallel to Valley Ridge Boulevard; b) to reduce the minimum 12-foot-wide secondary walkway required by the Unified Development Code (UDC), Section VI.8.1.C.3.b, to 8 feet wide in front of building 1 and to 10 feet wide in front of building 2, a 33% and 16.7% reduction respectively; and c) to waive the required screening of the loading spaces from the adjacent cemetery as required by Section VI.8.1.C.6.a, a 100% reduction. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommend unanimous approval (7-0) of alternative standards a) and b) on July 15, 2025 and recommended unanimous approval (7-0) of alternative standard c) on August 5, 2025.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the three alternative standards as set forth in the caption above.
