Staff noted comments from the other reporting departments and agencies suggesting the applicant contact them individually for additional clarification. There was no further discussion of the item.

K ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised cover letter addressing staff's concerns raised at the March 27, 2013, Subdivision Committee meeting.

The applicant is seeking approval to rehab the existing commercial building on Lot 1 to add a single use, health studio or spa, as an allowable use to the property. The proposal includes minor modifications to the exterior of the structure with the primary focus being interior renovations. The plan includes striping of an area behind the building, which is currently paved, to provide additional marked parking spaces. The plan includes 232 parking spaces, with the new striped area. Based on the parking typically required for a personal service establishment (1.0 space per 200 square feet of gross floor area) 216 spaces would typically be required. The ground sign located on Chenal Parkway will be refaced to identify the new business. The applicant states the sign location may be modified in the future. The owners will work with staff to best locate the sign. The total height and area will not exceed the standard established by the Financial Center/Chenal Parkway Design Overlay District. The building signage will also be modified to identify the new business. Building signage will be placed on the front of the building, east fagade, and the south fagade. Both sign locations have public street frontage. Each of the signs are proposed 5 -feet high by 47 -feet in length for a total sign area of 235 square feet. Modifications will be completed to the exterior of the building allowing a change in elevation on the southern wall to assist in breaking the massing of the wall.

The applicant has indicated based on the current calculation of the site one additional landscape island will be required to comply with the current landscape ordinance requirements. The applicant has also indicated irrigation will be added to the site to water landscaped areas. Based on the "average" width of 323.5 -feet (the width of the front parking lot) the required six percent (6%) buffer would be 19.41 -feet. The current buffer ranges from 19.9 -feet to 20 -feet. There is a six foot (6) wooden screening fence located on the north property line. The applicant states the fence will not be replaced but rather repaired in areas where the fence was previously damaged. The applicant is requesting to amend the previously approved Planned Commercial Development to add a health studio or spa (fitness center) as an allowable use. The applicant is not seeking any additional alternative uses. The uses approved for this site would be a sporting goods store or a health studio or spa. Staff is supportive of the request. The applicant is not proposing the addition of any additional paved surfaces to the site nor any significant additions to the building which would increase the existing amount of impervious surface. The applicant has indicated all on-site detention will be brought into compliance with the current City code.
