Requested Action
To consider the subject zoning change request.

Recommendation
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on November 5, 2018, and voted 7-0 to recommend approval with the condition that the vicinity map and plant schedule is corrected on the Landscape Plan. One neighboring resident had concerns regarding drainage, dumpster locations, fire access, the old and new facades matching, and wanted to know if the building in the southwestern portion of the property will be demolished. The applicant stated that drainage will be accommodated, existing trees and landscaping will remain, concrete lanes will not negatively affect neighbors, dumpster locations can be adjusted, the existing building in the southwestern portion of the property will be repurposed for meeting rooms, and that there are no plans to match the new facades with the old facades at this time. In addition, the fire marshal confirmed that the applicant has met all fire lane requirements and that all of the fire department’s questions and comments have been addressed. The applicant has submitted revised plans that include relocated trash enclosures, a corrected vicinity map and plant schedule on the Landscape Plan, and specify the deviation as it relates to the required landscape buffer along the north property line.
