BACKGROUND: On February 1, 1994, the Board of Directors passed Ordinance No. 16,586 which rezoned this property from R-2 to PD -O for a two -building office development. On October 4, 1994, the Board of Directors passed Ordinance No. 16,754, which amended the previously approved PD -0 site plan still maintaining two (2) office buildings. On December 2, 1997, the Board of Directors passed Ordinance No. 17,622 which re-established the PD -O for three (3) years. On September 14, 2000, the Planning Commission granted a three (3) year time extension of the approved PD -O. On September 3, 2002, the Board of Directors approved a revision to the previously approved PD -O to create a two (2) lot plat and allow the construction of a bank with a four (4) window drive-through facility on the front lot, adjacent to Cantrell Road, and the FILE NO.: Z -5770-D development of an office building on the rear lot. The applicant proposed the office building to be a single story office building containing approximately 10,800 square feet. There were 51 parking spaces proposed as a part of the development. Sixteen spaces were proposed with the bank facility and 35 spaces were proposed with the office building. Two monument style signs were approved for the site. One was to be located on the east side of the driveway and one on the west side of the driveway. The eastern sign was to be a maximum of five (5) feet in height and fifty (50) square feet in area and the sign on the western side of the driveway was to be a maximum of six (6) feet in height and sixty (64) square feet in area. The applicant proposed 0-3 zoning district uses as approved alternative uses for the site. The applicant proposed a single access point to the site from Cantrell Road. Ordinance No. 18,785 adopted by the Board of Directors on December 3, 2002, revised the previously approved PD -O to allow the rear lot to be split. The rear lots would each contain approximately 12,000 square feet of land area each containing an office building, one on each lot, and the square footages to be 4,300 and 2,800 square feet with a shared parking and common drive access easement extending from Cantrell Road through Lot 1 to serve the rear lots. The proposal included signage as previously approved adjacent to Highway 10 on the eastern side of the driveway and contained on Lot 1. The sign area was to be a maximum of five (5) feet in height and fifty (50) square feet in area. The signage for Lot 1 was located on the western side of the driveway. The request included a variance from the Subdivision Ordinance to allow the rear lots to be developed without public street frontage. A common access drive/utility easement will be final platted to provide access to these lots. A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST: The applicant is now proposing a revision to the previously approved PD -O site plan by reducing the landscape strip along the eastern perimeter of Lot B -2-R and adding parking and placing a dumpster within this area. The previous approval indicated a landscape strip averaging 35 -feet plus along the eastern perimeter of the site. The revision allows a 25 -foot average landscape strip on proposed Lot B -2-R with a minimum landscape strip of 16.9 feet. The site plan indicates the placement of 20 on-site parking spaces. Six parking spaces are indicated along the eastern perimeter and the remaining 14 spaces are located along the front of the building. B.
