G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (September 2, 2010)
Mr. David Noble was present representing the request. Staff presented the item
stating there were technical issues in need of addressing prior to the Commission
acting on the request. Staff stated all wheeled surfaces were to be paved. Staff
questioned if the existing loading dock would remain. Mr. Noble stated for the
short-term the loading dock would remain but the intent was to remove the dock
in the future. Staff stated additional paving and landscaping would be required at
the time of renovation to the building. Mr. Noble stated he would be accessing
the rear of the building to store his vehicles in the building and he would drive
along Young Road to the east to access the existing gate. Staff stated a new
drive would be allowed along the eastern perimeter of the site which would then
eliminate the need for the existing graveled drive. Staff stated the existing
parking area would need to be defined and the parking spaces striped. Staff
questioned what landscape upgrades would be provided to the site.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated the western -most drive
should be removed and the additional eastern drive would be allowed. Staff
stated Young Road was classified on the Master Street Plan as a commercial
street which would require an additional five (5) foot right of way dedication. Staff
stated no sidewalk would be required since there were sidewalks located on the
north side of Young Road.

H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised site plan to staff addressing the issues raised
at the September 2, 2010, Subdivision Committee meeting. The drawing
indicates the loading dock located along Young Road will be removed and
landscaping will be installed along the street. The site plan indicates the
placement of a drive along the eastern side of the building and a paved driveway
to allow access to the building for the storage of vehicles and equipment. The
revised plan indicates bumpers will be placed around the existing parking area
located on the west side of the building. The western -most drive will be removed
as requested by Public Works staff.
The site contains an existing one story metal building with paved parking located
along the western side of the building. The building contains 8,000 square feet
as was constructed as an office/warehouse. The existing chain link fence
located around the outdoor storage area on the east of the building will be
maintained.
The request is a rezoning from R-2, Single-family to PCD to allow the use of the
building as an office/showroom/warehouse for the safe and vault division of the
applicant's lock and key business. The applicant has indicated the primary use
of the site is for storage of new and used safes and vaults. The site will also be
used to store a safe moving trailer and equipment. The showroom will be
provided to allow customers to view safes prior to purchase. The site will also be
used for safe and vault repair which have been damaged or burglarized.
The cover letter indicates one to two employees with a maximum of five
employees utilizing the site. The hours of operation are from 8:00 am to 9:00 pm
daily. The applicant has indicated there will be little customer traffic to the site
and most access will be by appointment only.
The site plan does not indicate the placement of a dumpster on site. According
to the applicant little to no waste will be generated from this site.
The site plan does not propose signage. Staff recommends should signage be
desired in the future building signage be allowed as allowed in office zones or a
maximum of ten percent of the facade area abutting a public street. Staff
recommends ground signage be limited to a maximum height of six (6) feet and a
maximum sign area of sixty-four (64) square feet.
The applicant is requesting twelve (12) months to remove the loading dock and
install the landscaping along Young Road. According to the applicant there are a
number of renovations necessary to bring the building back to an occupancy
level including the installation of new heat and air units.

FILE NO.: Z-8587 Cont.
The applicant has indicated all efforts will be made to install the new landscaping
at the proper planting time. According to the site plan street trees will be installed
with a 30-foot spacing along Young Road with a minimum of five new trees
added. Shrubs will be installed with a 5-foot spacing with a minimum of 38
shrubs installed. An irrigation system is not proposed but a water source within
75-feet of the landscaped areas will be provided.
Staff is supportive of the applicant's request and the request to allow time for
removal of the loading dock and the installation of the landscaping. Staff feels
the applicant is making a good faith effort to upgrade this site with the addition of
landscaping, removal of the loading dock and the rehabbing of this existing
building. To staff's knowledge there are no outstanding technical issues in need
of addressing related to the site plan. Staff feels the use of this site as an
office/showroom/warehouse is an appropriate use for the property.
