These streets may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements. A Minor Arterial provides connections to and through an urban area and their primary function is to provide short distance travel within the urbanized area.

It states,„ Attract other businesses and services, such as pizza places that make home deliveries, another grocery, another pharmacy, video stores, cafes, a sporting goods store, and more restaurants open after 8 p.m.” The placement of the gallery/bookstore and the coffee shop could assist in this goal. Landscape: 1. The site plan must comply with the City's landscape and buffer ordinance requirements. 2. The zoning buffer ordinance requires an eight foot (8) wide land use buffer to separate this proposed development from the residential property on western perimeter of the site. Seventy percent (70%) of these buffers are to remain undisturbed. 3. A six (6) foot high opaque screen, either a wooden fence with its face side directed outward, a wall, or dense evergreen plantings, is required along the western perimeter of the site.

Staff noted comments from the various other reporting departments and agencies suggesting the applicant contact them directly for additional information and clarification. There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. H. ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised site plan and cover letter addressing most of the issues raised at the January 15, 2009, Subdivision Committee meeting. The revised cover letter states one (1) physician will staff the medical office. The hours of operation for the coffee shop are daily from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. The development is proposed as a mixed use development. The building will contain 6,250 square feet of which 1,825 square feet is proposed as a medical office serving one (1) physician, 525 square feet to be used as a coffee shop and 3,900 square feet as an art bookstore/art gallery. The parking breakdown for the site is six (6) spaces for the medical office, five (5) spaces for the coffee shop and thirteen (13) spaces for the art gallery resulting in 24 required spaces. The site plan indicates twenty-one (21) parking spaces. Staff is supportive of the parking as proposed. Although the ordinance would typically require twenty-four (24) parking spaces staff feels the art bookstore/art gallery and coffee shop will function in unison with patrons visiting the arts and coffee shop creating less demand for parking. Signage is proposed consistent with signage allowed in office zones. A single ground mounted sign is proposed near the intersection of the two streets. Building signage is proposed consistent with the code, as a maximum of ten percent of the facade area on the facades abutting a public right of way. The medical office will operate during typical office hours or 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. The coffee shop and the art bookstore/art gallery will be open daily from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. The gallery will also host showings and special events which are typically held during the evening hours. These events are anticipated to end by 10:00 pm. The site plan indicates the placement of a single dumpster on the site near the southern perimeter of the site. The site layout is such that the location for the 5 FILE NO.: Z -5742-B (Cont. dumpster is limited. The site plan indicates the dumpster will be screened per the typical ordinance standards. The hours of dumpster service have been indicated from 6:00 am to 8:00 am. Landscaping and screening has been indicated on the site plan. A six foot wood fence will be installed along the southern and eastern perimeters where located adjacent to single-family zoned or used property. Street buffers and parking lot landscaping will be installed per the Landscape and Zoning Buffer Ordinance requirements. The request limits the use of the property to the current applicant's occupancy and ownership. Staff is supportive of the request. Although the development plan has been modified to create a larger percentage of commercial on the site, staff does not feel the proposed level of commercial activity will significantly impact the nearby residential uses. The site is indicated as Mixed Use on the City's Future Land Use Plan and the businesses proposed for this site will close in the early evening hours. The special events held by the art gallery will be held later in the evening but are not anticipated as a daily or even weekly activity. The application request is limited to Dr. and Mrs. Hearne and is not a transferable approval. The Commission and Board of Directors will have the opportunity to review any future uses of the site prior to the activities locating on the property to determine the level of commercial activity at the time of redevelopment. To staff's knowledge there are no outstanding technical issues associated with the request. I. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the request subject to the following conditions. 1.
