G H SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (April 18, 2002) Mr. Greg Peckham of Canino, Peckham and Associates, was present representing the application. Staff briefly described the application noting the proposal was a revision to an existing Planned Development. Staff stated the original development included the placement of an office building on Lot 2, which was 100 square feet smaller than the office building proposed. Staff stated the major differences were the placement of the retail and the drive-thru window for the pharmacy. Staff stated the retail was allowable as an ancillary use but the drive- thru would require a revision to the PCD. Staff noted the parking was in place along with the sign location. Staff stated the development would not be allowed any additional ground -mounted signage. Staff requested the applicant indicate any building signage that was proposed. Staff stated all previously approved restrictions to the site would remain in effect with regard to days and hours of operation, building lighting, building heights, trash pick-up etc. After the discussion the Committee forwarded the revision to the Planned Commercial Development to the full Commission for final action.

The applicant indicated there would be three doctors and 13 employees staffing the clinic and 3 employees in the pharmacy. The typical parking requirement for a doctor's office and 2500 square feet of retail would be 18 spaces for the clinic and 8 spaces for the retail for a total of 26 spaces. The applicant has proposed a total of 51 parking spaces, which is more than adequate to serve the site. The applicant proposes the days and hours of operation of the clinic to be Monday — Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm and the hours of operation for the pharmacy to be 8:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday through Friday and 8:00 am to 5:00 pm on Saturday.
