HomeMy WebLinkAboutZ-4376-A Staff AnalysisJanuary 22, 1985 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 7 NAME: LOCATION: OWNER/APPLICANT: PROPOSAL: Fairfield Plaza Site Plan Review (Z -4376-A) North of the intersection of Rebsamen Park Road and Cantrell Road Fairfield Communities, Inc./ Flake & Company, Nathaniel Griffin To construct a 6 -story office building (70,000 square feet) and 145 parking spaces on a 3.17 acre site that will be zoned "0-2." ANALYSIS: 1. The staff supports the office concept but has reservations about the specific proposal. The Ordinance requires a 25 -foot building setback line on all sides of the building. The proposed structure meets the required 25 -foot setback line but does not meet Ordinance height requirements. The structure is proposed to be 112' 6" in height (120 feet maximum allowable). The location of the building has three setback height deficiencies. The only side that meets Ordinance height requirements is the front of the building. It appears that a Board of Adjustment action would be warranted. Additionally, the proposed 145 parking spaces is deficient by five spaces. City Engineer Comments (1) Dedicate sufficient right-of-way along Cantrell Road for an additional lane from the southeast corner of the property to the Pizza Hut property; (2) Submit internal drainage plan to include detention considerations; (3) The intersection with the access drive is wide open, traffic flow controls are needed. The driveway at Rebsamen Park Road will have a site distance problem due to vehicles parked on the south side of the driveway.
