Rezoning. This site is currently zoned CP-2 (Planned Community Commercial District) and given the proposed site design would be suitable to be zoned CBD (Central Business District). Rezoning the property will not be required. However, staff would like to discuss this concept further at the Applicant's Meeting.

Downtown Design Standards. In the spring of 2013 the City adopted Downtown Design standards for the core areas of downtown. The following comments pertain to those standards which can be found in Article 7 of the UDO (page 27): http://cityofls.net/Development/Zoning/Unified-Development-Ordinance.aspx

Awnings. Awnings are encouraged in the downtown core area. However, metal and convex/concave forms are prohibited.

Material Colors. Provide color samples or notes on Sheets C2.0 and A2.0 regarding the color of the exterior building and trash enclosure materials

Mechanical / HVAC equipment. Will there be any exterior roof mounted or ground mounted mechanical / HVAC equipment? If so please show them on the site plan. In addition, please note: - Ground-mounted mechanical equipment and loading/service areas, including trash enclosures, shall be located out of public view whenever feasible and shall not front onto an arterial street. Ground-mounted mechanical equipment shall be located behind the building and screened from public view with fencing or landscaping or both. - Rooftop mechanical equipment fully screened from view by using parapet walls of the same height as the mechanical units.

Building Placement. The building should be shifted further north so that the front facade is adjacent to the property line as seen in the downtown core area. Plantings in that area may be shifted elsewhere on site. Further staff highly encourages shifting the placement of the building to the northeast corner of the property lines to "fill in the gap" of structures along the street frontage. The movement of the building to the street corner is not required but highly encouraged. If the building location is to remain as proposed a 3.5 to 4 foot high screening wall of brick to match the building should be placed at the property line east of the building and wrapping around the property corner to fill in the gap left by the proposed building location.

Accessible (ADA) Parking Space. The provided accessible parking space shall have a minimum 8 foot wide hatched area adjacent to it. Show this hatching on the site plan. In addition the accessible parking space shall utilize the model #R7-8 accessible parking sign. Refer to Article 12 of the UDO.

Parking Lot Screening. As stated in Article 14 - Landscaping and in the Downtown Design Standards Division of Article 7 in the UDO. Parking lots shall be screened from public right-of-way to a minimum height of 2.5 feet. A decorative brick/masonry wall is recommend for this screening. Alternatively, 12 evergreen shrubs per 40 linear feet (excluding driveways) of street frontage may also be considered.

Please note that 1/4 inch per foot for sidewalk cross slope is greater than 2% and will be rejected by Public Works for all public sidewalks. Public sidewalks should be called out as having no more than 1.5% cross slope. This should also be called out for all private sidewalks.

A cut-in wye connection (i.e., not a saddle or insertatee) will be required for the new sanitary sewer connection. Please call this out on the plan.

It appears the existing water meter is shown outside of the right of way. Is there an existing easement for the water meter? If not, an easement should be provided since water meters should be within the right of way or a public easement.

A drainage plan or grading plan should be submitted showing contours for the finished grade and the direction of stormwater flow off the site. While there are spot elevations presented on the Preliminary Development Plan, it is not entirely clear how the site will drain.

The pavement section shown on the Sheet C1.0 is not in compliance with the Unified Development Ordinance Article 12 "Parking". If asphaltic concrete will be used, then all parking aisles, loading areas and access drives not designated as "fire lanes" must have a minimum of 5 inch asphaltic concrete base overlaid with a minimum of 2 inch asphaltic concrete surface course constructed on a base of either: 1) 12 inches prepared soil, 2) 8 inches aggregate, or 3) 9 inches of fly ash treated soil. For designated fire lanes and delivery/freight truck access areas, all of the above are required with the exception of the asphaltic concrete base which shall be 6 inches rather than 5 inches.

The locations of all public stormwater, public water lines, and public sanitary sewer lines must be shown on the site plan.
