Parks and Recreation: No comment received.
County Planning: No comment.
Rock Region Metro: Location is served on routes 2 & 9 by Rock Region METRO. We
have two concerns regarding this plan. One, a through driveway between Roosevelt Rd.
and 26th St. encourages cut -through and speeding, detrimental for transit operations.
Second the sidewalk is located 10 feet behind the curb with a large grassy verge. The
corner crossing curb cuts should align with the existing sidewalk network. It is difficult to
load passengers and wheel chairs across a large verge, 3-5' wide provides an adequate
clear zone for pedestrians.
Building Code: Project is subject to full commercial plan review and approval prior to
issuance of a building permit. For information on submittal requirements and the review
process, contact a commercial plans examiner:

major traffic generators or activity centers within the urbanized area. Entrances and
exits should be limited to minimize negative effects of traffic and pedestrians on East
Roosevelt Road since it is a Principal Arterial. The primary function of a Local Street is
to provide access to adjacent properties. Local Streets that are abutted by non-
residential zoning/use or more intensive zoning than duplexes are considered as
"Commercial Streets". A Collector design standard is used for Commercial Streets.
These streets may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street
improvements for entrances and exits to the site.
Bicycle Plan: There are no bike routes shown in the immediate vicinity.
Landscape:
1. Site plan must comply with the City's landscape and buffer ordinance requirements.
2. Screening requirements will need to be met for the vehicular use areas adjacent to

H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised site plan to staff addressing a number of the
issues raised at the December 9, 2015, Subdivision Committee meeting. The
applicant has provided the proposed signage plan, the building construction
materials and the proposed dumpster screening. The applicant has also
FILE NO.: Z-9097 (Cont.
addressed staffs concerns related to the radial dedications and the required right
of way dedications.
The applicant is requesting a rezoning of the site from C-3, General Commercial
District to Planned Development Commercial, PD-C, to allow the redevelopment
of this site with a new auto related business. The building is proposed containing
7,650 gross square feet of floor area and 23 parking spaces. Parking for a retail
store is typically based on one (1) space per 300 gross square feet of floor area.
The parking typically required for a building containing 7,650 square feet would
be 25 spaces. Staff feels the parking provided is adequate to serve this
business.
The building is proposed as a single story building with a maximum building
height of 25-feet. The building will be constructed with metal panels. All roof top
mechanical will be screened per the typical ordinance standard.
The dumpster is indicated on the site plan at the intersection of Rock and
26th Streets. The dumpster screening will be split face block with a precast cap.
The gate will be constructed of a material that conceals the dumpster from the
adjoining streets. The dumpster hours of service are limited to 7 am to 6 pm
Monday through Friday. The hours of operation for the store are from 7:30 am
to 9:00 pm Monday through Saturday and 9:00 am to 8:00 pm on Sunday.
The site plan indicates the placement of a ground sign on the site. The sign is
proposed with a maximum height of 36-feet and a maximum sign area of
160 square feet. The building signage will be placed on the west and east
elevations of the building. The signage will comply with building signage in
commercial zones or be a maximum of ten (10) percent of the fagade area of the
face the signage is to be placed.
The site currently consists of four (4) platted lots and an abandoned alley. The
applicant is requesting upon approval of the PD-C zoning a replat of the
four (4) lots and the abandoned alley be allowed to create one (1) lot. The replat
will be an administrative replat upon approval by the various City departments
and utilities.
The site plan indicates one (1) access drive on East Roosevelt Road and a
second on East 26th Street. Both drives are designed with a 30-foot width. Truck
access to the site will be from East Roosevelt Road exiting onto East 26t" Street
then to Rock Street and back to Roosevelt Road.
The applicant has indicated all site lighting will be low level and directional,
directed downward and into the site. The maximum pole height proposed is
27.5-feet. Each light will be installed with shields to limit the reflection of the light
to adjacent properties.

Staff has concerns with the potential for installation of parts in the parking lot of
the business. Staff wants strict limitations on the level of activity that can occur
outside of the building. Staff wants signs posted clearly stating that no vehicle
repair work or service is to be performed on the site, other than the minor parts
installation performed by the auto parts store employees. It is also important that
the site be cleaned each day.
Staff is supportive of the applicant's request. The applicant is seeking approval
of the PD-C zoning to allow redevelopment of this property with a new retail
business. Along the frontage of Roosevelt Road in this area is primarily
commercial and non-residential uses. The single-family in this area is located
south of Roosevelt Road and south of East 26th Street. Staff feels the applicant's
request for rezoning is appropriate.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request subject to compliance with the
comments and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the agenda
staff report.
Staff recommends the following conditions be placed on the approval of the
PD-C for the auto parts store:
1. There is to be no outside storage of merchandise or parts.
2. The limited installation of vehicle parts is to be restricted to employees of
the business.
3. Signs are to be posted on each facade of the building, which clearly state
that, no vehicle repair work or service is to be performed on the site
other than the limited parts installation, which is performed by the
businesses employees.
4. The site is to be cleaned on a daily basis.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JANUARY 7, 2016)
