To review and consider the subject Detailed Site Plan.
Recommendation
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the request on November 20, 2017, and voted 7-0 to recommend approval with the condition that Exhibit A be corrected, which the applicant has since done.
Description/History
The subject property consists of approximately 1.594 acres and is located on the north side of Broad Street, east of Miller Road.
The applicant is requesting a Detailed Site Plan review in order to build a medical office building. The property is part of the Mansfield Medical Plaza Planned Development (PD), which requires a Detailed Site Plan review & approval for each developed lot.
This lot will include a 17,844 sq. ft. two-story medical office building. The development will be served by a parking lot with 89 parking stalls, which meets the PD requirements of 1 stall per 200 sq. ft. of medical office space. The parking lot provides for complete two-way traffic circulation around the building and cross-access to the existing development street network and adjacent lots. The lot will have full access to Broad Street via an existing shared access point between this lot and the medical office building to the east, as well as right-in/right-out access to Broad Street via an existing shared access point between this lot and the Walgreen’s to the west. The development also includes a covered patient drop-off/pick-up lane at the main entrance to the building.
The development will include a sidewalk, shrubs, and ground cover around the perimeter of the building, as well as a connection to the existing sidewalk along Broad Street. The parking lot will include shade trees and ground cover, as well as a row of shrubs along the parking spaces facing Broad Street, in addition to the existing street trees.
The applicant has provided full color elevations, which include wall plane recesses and projections, varied rooflines, and a mix of building materials. While each elevation varies slightly in terms of materials composition, the building exterior as a whole will include approximately 57% stone-look tilt wall, 25% brick, 16% glass, and 2% aluminum composite material (ACM). The building materials and colors complement the Walgreen’s to the west and the medical office building to the east. The elevations meet the architectural requirements of the PD.
The applicant has proposed a trash enclosure in the rear of the property that provides full screening and is finished with materials that match the exterior of the building in accordance with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant has also proposed a monument sign at the full access point to the building and has indicated that it will be in compliance with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for C-2 zoned properties, as mandated by the PD. The applicant has also shown a wall sign on the south elevation (facing Broad Street), which will also be in compliance with sign standards for C-2 zoned properties.
Overall, the property complements the existing buildings in the development and adheres to the requirements of the PD.
