2180 Merced Street 4 02/10/98 A-97-11/PD-97-9 building will be remodeled into a modem retail store that is comparable to other new facilities of this type. The nine off-street parking spaces complies with the Zoning Code requirement of one parking space per 200 square feet of floor area for retail use (1,784 square feet at one space/200 square feet = nine spaces). The five queuing spaces complies with the Zoning Code requirement of five cars per drive -up window. The new sign program will be revised to include low profile, monument type signs instead of the proposed 24-foot high, two-sided pole signs. The recommended low profile sign should not exceed six -feet in height and include the identification and the required gasoline prices. This recommendation is consistent with other local gas stations such as Shell Oil at Marina and Doolittle, British Petroleum at Washington and Fargo, and Beacon at Washington and Bradrick. The canopies (approximately 15-feet high) will have signage. The drive -up window is located at the rear of the building, out of view from the street. Staff recommends a security video camera for the surveillance of the drive -up window behind the building. Other standard Police Department recommendations to increase the safety and security of the convenience store for employees and customers include a robbery alarm, burglary alarm, drop safe, restricting the obstruction of the store front windows, and posting the property to prohibit loitering. The Findings supporting approval of the Planned Development application are included in the attached report. CONCLUSION The planned development for a convenience store and the drive -up coffee lane will facilitate for other site improvements such as the new building exterior, canopies, product dispensers, landscaping and sign program which will bring this station up to contemporary standards in appearance and function. The Planning Commission and Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action: 1. Approve the proposed Reclassification (A-97-11) by adopting the attached ordinance; and 2. Approve the proposed Planned Development (PD-97-9), subject to the attached Conditions of Approval, by motion.
