REVIEW COMMENTS TO: THRU: FROM: DATE: PROJECT NAME/NO: REQUEST: DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT PLANNING AND ZONING DIVISION MEMORANDUM NO. PZ 06-195 STAFF REPORT Chair and Members of the Community Redevelopment Agency Board and City Commission ~/ Michael Rump;1J) Planning and Zoning Director Kathleen Zeitler tz- Planner November 7/ 2006 Denmar Building / NWSP 06-024 New Site Plan PROJECT DESCRIPTION Property Owner: Agent/ Applicant: Location: Mary Ann Monnin George Brewer of Brewer Architecture, Inc. / Mary Ann Monnin 617 NE 3rd Street (see Exhibit "A" - Location Map) Existing Land Use/Zoning: General Commercial (GC) / General Commercial (C-4) Proposed Land Use/Zoning: Proposed Use: Acreage: Adjacent Uses: North: South: East: West: No change Request new site plan approval to construct a 3/433 square foot building for retail showrooms, contractor offices, and indoor storage 0.34-acre (14/975 square feet) Two developed commercial parcels (Paper Roll Products) classified General Commercial (GC) and zoned General Commercial (C-4); A developed 7/500 square foot parcel classified General Commercial (GC) and zoned General Commercial (C-4) with a residence; Right-of-way for NE 3rd Streett and farther east a vacant 0.43-acre parcel classified General Commercial (GC) and zoned General Commercial (C-4); and, A vacant 8/302 square foot parcel classified General Commercial (GC) and zoned General Commercial (C-4). Staff Report - Denmar Building (NWSP 06-024) Memorandum No PZ 06-195 Page 2 Site: According to the survey, the subject site consists of Lots 71 and 72 of Arden Park which have been combined into a 0.34-acre parcel. The subject property is described as a vacant, undeveloped commercial parcel. The survey indicates that a portion of road right-of-way, which traversed in a southwesterly direction adjacent to NE 3rd Street, was abandoned by the City pursuant to Ordinance No. 294 in April, 1957 according to the plat of Arden Park (Plat Book 2, Page 96). In May, 2006 the Applicant petitioned the City to abandon a 10-foot wide unimproved alley located adjacent to the north property line of the subject property (ABAN 06-006). The alley was abandoned, conditioned upon the dedication of a 5-foot utility easement. The current survey indicates a 5-foot wide utility easement runs in an east-west direction along the north property line. This utility easement would not be altered by the proposed development and would remain in its current state. Proposal: Concurrency: Traffic: School: Police I Fire: Utilities: BACKGROUND The Applicant is requesting new site plan approval for the construction of a one- story 3,433 square foot commercial building (to include a retail showroom, and contractor offices with indoor storage) on the 0.34-acre parcel. The interior of the proposed building will be divided into four (4) business suites, each ranging from 810 to 1,000 square feet. ANALYSIS A traffic statement was sent to the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for concurrency review in order to ensure an adequate level of service. In a response dated August 14, 2006, Palm Beach County Traffic Division determined that the project meets the Traffic Performance Standards. The project is estimated to generate 161 new daily trips and has a build-out date of 2007. School concurrency is not required for this type of project. Staff reviewed the site plan and determined that current staffing levels would be sufficient to meet the expected demand for services. The City's water capacity, as increased through the purchase of up to 5 million gallons of potable water per day from Palm Beach County Utilities, would meet the projected potable water for this project. Local piping and infrastructure improvements may be required, especially on the water delivery system for the project, depending on the final project configuration and fire-flow demands. These local improvements would be the responsibility of the site developer and would be reviewed at the time of permitting. Sufficient sanitary sewer and wastewater treatment capacity is also currently available to serve the project, subject to the applicant making a firm reservation of capacity, following approval of the site plan. Staff Report - Denmar Building (NWSP 06-024) Memorandum No PZ 06-195 Page 3 Drainage: Driveways: Parking: Landscaping: Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City's review. The Engineering Division has found the conceptual information to be adequate and is recommending that the review of specific drainage solutions be deferred until time of permit review (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). The site plan (sheet SP-l) shows one (1) point of access is proposed from NE 3rd Street. The proposed driveway would be 25 feet in width and provide ingress and egress. According to the Land Development Regulations, parking space requirements shall be computed separately for each principal use. Suites 1-2 are proposed as retail use and would require one (1) parking space per 200 square feet, or eight (8) spaces based on 1,620 square feet. Suites 3-4 are proposed as warehouse use for contractors and would require one (1) parking space per 800 square feet, or four (4) spaces based on 1,813 square feet. The site plan (Sheet SP-l) data indicates a total of 12 parking spaces are required on site for the uses proposed. The site plan depicts a total of 12 parking spaces, including one (1) space designated for handicap use. A 12 foot by 35 foot loading space has also been provided at the west end of the proposed building. All parking spaces, excluding the handicap space and the loading zone, would be dimensioned nine (9) feet in width and 18 feet in length. All proposed parking stalls, including the size and location of the handicap spaces were reviewed and approved by both the Engineering Division and Building Division. The entire parking lot, including the handicap space and loading zone is proposed as brick pavers set in sand in a herringbone pattern. A walkway of brick pavers would also be located along the sides and rear of the building, providing pedestrian circulation as well as handicap accessibility. The use of brick pavers for all these areas is understood to be the proposed contribution to the requirement for Art in Public Places. The proposed open space or "pervious" area would be 3,968 square feet, or 26.5% of the total lot. The perimeter landscape buffer adjacent to the right-of-way of NE 3rd Street would be approximately seven (7) feet wide. The landscape plan (sheet L-l) shows that this buffer would contain four (4) Purple Glory Trees, 12 to 14 feet in height. These signature trees would require six (6) feet of clear trunk when installed within the safe-sight triangle, as noted on the landscape plan. The right- of-way landscape buffer would also contain a row of Redtip Cocoplum hedges and Lilly Turf shrubs planted in groups. The western perimeter buffer would be two and one-half (2 112) feet in width and would include Live Oak shade trees and clusters of Sabal palm trees with a row of Redtip Cocoplum hedges installed at the base. The northern perimeter buffer is the same width and would contain the same plant material as the western perimeter buffer. The southern perimeter buffer would be two and one-half (2 112) feet in width and would contain a row of Redtip Cocoplum hedges. Foundation landscaping around the building would include Lady Palms, Pinwheel Jasmine, Cocoplum, and Lilly Turf. Enclosed areas for roll out carts, storage bins, Staff Report - Denmar Building (NWSP 06-024) Memorandum No PZ 06-195 Page 4 and recycle bins located at the southwest corner of the site would be screened by landscaping through a combination of perimeter landscape buffers and landscape islands within the parking lot. All landscaping on site would be irrigated with an approved system connected to a non-potable water source. An existing five (5) foot chain link fence along the north, west, and south property lines will remain. Building and Site: The proposed building location on site complies with minimum setback requirements (25 feet front, 20 feet rear, and 15 feet side) of the C-4 zoning district. The proposed building is 3,433 square feet with a 23% lot coverage, which complies with the maximum lot coverage (40%) allowed in the C-4 zoning district. The proposed building has been designed as a one (l)-story structure. The elevations (sheet A-3) show the top of the parapet wall at 20 feet in height, well below the maximum of 45 feet allowed in the C-4 zoning district. The building and site design as proposed would generally meet code requirements when staff comments are incorporated into the permit drawings. The floor plan for the building (sheet A-l) shows that the building would be divided into four (4) separate interior spaces for tenants, with bay sizes ranging from 810 to 1,000 square feet in area. Suites 1 and 2 are proposed as retail uses and include large storefront windows under a steel-framed awning. Suites 3 and 4 are proposed as contractor warehouse storage and include garage doors under a steel-framed awning. Each suite has a separate entry door in front and a separate rear door which is handicap accessible. Windows in the rear of the building are glass block. The exterior building design is compatible with the surrounding built environment in compliance with the Community Design Plan guidelines. The building entrances are enhanced by parapet roofs, large windows with fabric awnings, and these same features are mirrored on the east side of the building near NE 3rd Street. Visual interest has been added to the proposed building through the use of architectural details such stucco walls, scoring lines, and a decorative parapet roof. Building colors are neutral and include Sherwin William colors. According to the exterior finish color schedule, the main body color of the building would be light beige: "Ivoire" (SW 6127). The secondary wall color is proposed as a green: "Alchemy" (SW 6395). The front and side elevations (south and east) are depicted with canvas awnings over the doors and windows. These awnings are proposed as a black and tan striped fabric material. The neutral color palette proposed will be harmonious with surrounding developments. Lighting: The photometric plan (sheet LP-l) proposes freestanding lighting fixtures, as well as wall mounted lighting fixtures. The freestanding pole fixtures would be 16 feet in height and would be located at the access point and in the parking area. The freestanding lights would be silver fiberglass poles designed for a windload of 140 miles per hour. The front and rear of the building would include decorative wall- mounted lights near each door, as well as wallpacks for security lighting. All proposed lighting will be shielded to direct light down and away from adjacent properties and rights-of-way. Staff Report - Denmar Building (NWSP 06-024) Memorandum No PZ 06-195 Page 5 Signage: No freestanding or wall signs are proposed at this time. Art: In compliance with the newly adopted requirement for developments to provide public art work, the applicant proposes the art to be the entire parking lot. The applicant is the owner of a brick paver business and proposes to design a parking lot of pavers, in an interesting pattern with different paver types and colors. This artwork will enhance the ambiance of the proposed development. Ultimate review and approval of the artist and artwork is still pending by the Arts Commission. RECOMMENDATION: The Technical Advisory Review Team (TART) has reviewed this request for new site plan approval and recommends approval contingent upon satisfying all comments indicated in Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval. Any additional conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval.
