There were no outstanding technical issues in need of addressing related to the
site plan raised at the April 5, 2017, Subdivision Committee meeting. The request
is a rezoning of this site from 1-2, Light Industrial District to PID, Planned Industrial
Development, to allow an outdoor soccer practice field within the rear yard of the
existing building.
The building is a 60-feet by 175-foot metal building. There are 15 on -site parking
spaces. Parking for this type use is typically based on one (1) parking space per
employee plus one (1) space perfive (5) students, based on the maximum number
of students at any one (1) time. The applicant indicates there are

(4) spaces.

FILE NO.: Z-9209 (Cont.)
The site plan indicates the practice area will be 70-feet by 148-feet constructed of
concrete and covered with Astroturf. The plan indicates the placement of an eight
(8) foot chain link fence around the play area. An eight (8) foot netting above the
fence will be installed. The applicant notes the elevation change from 1-30 and the
netting will limit any potential balls leaving the site.
The applicant is not proposing any changes to the current signage plan. The
applicant has indicated building signage is located on the front and rear facades,
both with street frontage, and is less than the ten (10) percent typically allowed in
industrial zones. A single ground sign is located on the site. The applicant notes
the sign is four (4) feet by sixteen (16) feet with a sign area of 64 square feet. The
applicant requests should signage be replaced in the future the allowance of
signage allowed in industrial zones or a maximum of 30-feet in height and
72 square feet in area.

alternate uses. The applicant request should an alternate business located on the
site the hours proposed for the soccer facility not be the hours for the alternate
business. The applicant request the alternate hours be 6 am to 10 pm seven (7)
days per week.
There are no other modifications proposed to the site. Staff is supportive of the
applicant's request. Staff does not feel the addition of the outdoor practice area
will significantly impact the development or the area. Staff does not feels the
request to rezone the site from 1-2, Light Industrial District to PID, Planned
Industrial Development, will significantly impact this development or the area.
