Staff notes that the nature of the business, which has limited public traffic and with proposed shielding of the outdoor storage uses, would result in a use that is compatible both within the context of the business park itself, as well as with other uses in the area. Staff has included a recommended condition of approval that with the exception of the stacked containers, outdoor storage may not exceed eight feet in height, and that the areas proposed for storage may not be enlarged without modification to the outdoor storage approval. Site Plan Review The office building is proposed at 5,200 square feet and includes several offices, restrooms, a break room and a training room. The building would be 16 feet tall and is oriented with the canopied entrywayllobby facing Business Center Drive. No details on the exterior of the building are given other than it would have a plaster finish. Behind and perpendicular to the office building is a proposed 13,200 square~foot mechanics building. Again, no information is given on the exterior materials, but it appears to be a metal seam building approximately 18 feet tall at the apex of the roof. The floor plan for the building includes a small office, a break room with restrooms, a tools/parts room, mechanic shops, sanitary dump station, vehicle wash bay, fence repair, and power repair. Two roll-up doors are shown on either side of the mechanic shop, with the remaining areas containing open bays with no doors on both sides. Staff notes that both the office building and mechanic's building are at a different size and scale than those built on lots A, B and C, and the architectural plans are not as detailed as for the existing buildings. The existing buildings range in size from 15,600 - 36,600 square feet and are 32 feet in height. Exterior materials for the existing buildings include tilt~up concrete panels with horizontal and vertical 2-inch reveals. The main entries include bent steel plate fascia (painted) and storefront windows with vertical mullion. Staff has included a recommended condition of approval that revised plans for the office building be submitted for review and approval prior to issuance of the building permit, with revised plans including a style more in keeping with the exterior looks of the existing buildings of the industrial park, at least in terms of materials used. Conditions have also been included that both buildings would be painted in at least a 2~color scheme, in keeping with the other buildings, and in compatible colors. The preliminary landscape plans submitted shows a generous front landscape treatment, ranging in depth from approximately 10-38 feet along the frontage, and approximately 35~55 feet along the cul-de-sac frontage. Plans also show a 4-foot tall mound in the landscaping, with tree planting on top of the mound, and shrub planting is shown in front of the office building. Staff notes that the preliminary plans do not show the landscaping extending along what would be the applicant's half of the cul-de-sac bulb. The applicant is aware that continuing the landscaping in this will be a condition of the project. Staff notes further that no groundcover and/or turf are indicated for areas outside of the trees/shrubs. A standard condition for submittal of a final landscape/irrigation plan has been included.
