has applied for a Planned Office Development for a phased development of four
office buildings.
The request does not require a change to the Land Use Plan.

area covered by the Birchwood - Walnut Valley Neighborhood Action Plan. The
plan does not contain any goals, objectives, or action statements relevant to this
case.
Landscape: Interior landscape islands must be at least 7 '/ feet in width to
receive credit toward fulfilling interior landscaping requirements.
A small section of the proposed southwestern structure projects over into the
minimum nine (9) foot wide land use buffer required along the western perimeter.
The full width requirement without transfers being 13.2 feet.
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. Credit toward fulfilling screening requirements can
be given if the western perimeter of the two proposed western structures has no

G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (July 3, 2003)
The applicant was not present. Staff briefly described the project to the
Subdivision Committee members stating the request was a rezoning request to
POD to allow the construction of four office buildings in four phases. Staff stated
the site currently contained an existing office building and a single-family home.

FILE NO.: Z-7433 (Cont.
Staff stated the applicant would be required to provide additional information with
regard to building square footages and the maximum building height. Staff also
noted if there would be a dumpster located on the site the location would be
required on the site plan. Staff stated details concerning signage and fencing, if
any were proposed, would also be required on the site plan.
Public Works comments were discussed with the Committee. There was a
general discussion concerning the road improvements to Kanis Road and
Autumn Road. Staff noted the comment, which indicated staff would support a
phasing plan for the street construction. Staff also noted the intersection of
Autumn and Kanis Roads would more than likely be redesigned once the
widening of Kanis Road was completed.
Landscaping comments were addressed with the Committee. Staff stated the
applicant would be required to install a screen on the western perimeter either a
wood fence, wall or dense evergreen plantings to screen the adjacent single-
family zoned property. Staff also stated an irrigation system would be required to
water landscaped area. Staff noted interior islands of the parking lot were
required to be seven and one-half feet in area to count towards fulfilling the
landscape ordinance requirements.
Staff stated they would contact the applicant and try to resolve as many issues
as possible prior to the Public Hearing. There being no further items for
discussion. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for
final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised plan to staff addressing the issues raised at
the July 3, 2003 Subdivision Committee meeting. The bill of assurance
submitted refers solely to the use of an access easement and roadway
dedications. The applicant has indicated the signage will be located near the
Autumn/Kanis Road intersection. The proposed signage is six feet in height and
sixty-four square feet in area. Staff is supportive of the proposed signage and
placement.
The applicant has indicated the maximum building height to be 35 -feet and the
days and hours of operation to be from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday through
Friday. The applicant has also indicated right-of-way dedication will be made to
the City per the Master Street Plan. The applicant has requested the road
improvements be phased with the building construction as indicated by Public
Works. Staff is supportive of the requested phasing plan.
The applicant is proposing the placement of 52 parking spaces and the
construction of 7500 square feet of office space in Phase I. The typical minimum
parking required for a 7500 square foot office building would be 18 spaces. The
proposed parking should be more than sufficient to meet the typical minimum
parking demand. In Phase II, a 7500 square foot office building and 27 parking

The applicant has addressed the landscaping issues as requested. The
applicant has indicated landscape islands and proposed a six-foot high wood
fence along the western property line. The applicant is not proposing screening
along the eastern perimeter. The development abuts Autumn Road and across
Autumn Road, although zoned residentially, are non-residential uses. Staff
supports the screening as proposed.
The applicant has requested uses be allowed as those allowed under the 0-3,
General Office zoning classification. The applicant has also requested the ten
percent accessory uses. The applicant has requested the accessory uses to be
an aggregate square footage based on a fully completed master plan. Staff is
supportive of the 0-3, General Office zoning classification uses as allowable
uses for the site and staff is supportive of the ten percent accessory uses for the
site. Staff is not however supportive of the applicant's proposed distribution of
the accessory space. Staff would recommend the ten percent ancillary
commercial space be limited to ten percent of each building. This would limit the
commercial uses to approximately seven hundred fifty square feet in each of the
first three buildings and eight hundred ten square feet in the fourth building. If
the proposed development is allowed an aggregate, the commercial user could
occupy approximately 3060 square feet of a single building. With the distribution
proposed by staff, this would limit the commercial space on the site and not allow
a large-scale commercial development to locate on the site.
To Staff's knowledge there are no outstanding issues associated with the
proposed request. The use is consistent with the future land use plan and
should have minimal to no adverse impact on the surrounding neighborhoods.
I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request as filed subject to compliance with the
conditions outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of this report.
Staff recommends the ten percent accessory use space be limited to ten percent
of each building.

A small section of the proposed southwestern structure projects over into the minimum
nine (9) foot wide land use buffer required along the western perimeter. The full width
requirement without transfers being 13.2 feet.
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. Credit toward fulfilling screening requirements can be given if the western
perimeter of the two proposed western structures has no windows or doors other than
those required for safety.
An irrigation system to water landscaped areas will be required.
Prior to a building permit being issued, it will be necessary to provide approved
landscape plans stamped with the seal of a Registered Landscape Architect.
The City Beautiful Commission recommends preserving as many trees as feasible.
Extra credit toward fulfilling Landscape Ordinance requirements can be given when
properly preserving trees of six (6) inch caliper or larger.
Revised plat/plan: Submit four (4) copies of a revised preliminary plan (to include the
additional information as noted above) to staff on Wednesday, July 9, 2003.
