O-1 Office District Uses to develop three one-story office buildings totaling
approximately 17,360 square feet and one open space lot on approximately 2.25
acres. Each building is proposed to be on a separate lot, so the buildings may be
constructed at the same time or separately. The lots will share common driveways
and parking by way of a cross access, reciprocal parking and maintenance
agreement. All of the buildings will use one trash receptacle that is shown on the
proposed Lot 4.
Since the request is for a Zoning Change and Concept Plan only, a Site Plan for
that conforms to the approved S-P-2 zoning district must be approved by City

Plan must be approved for each of the buildings. The Site Plan approval will include
elevations, a color-coded landscape plan and any other exhibits required for Site
Plan approval.
If the property is to be subdivided as shown, a Plat Revision that conforms to the
approved S-P-2 zoning district zoning must also be processed and recorded with
the County.

STAFF COMMENTS:
Attached is Concept Plan Review Summary No. 4, dated January 11, 2016.
The criteria for granting a variance to the requirements the Subdivision
Ordinance are below:
Section 9.01 Modifications and Variations:
A. Compliance: Where the Council finds that compliance with these
regulations would cause unusual hardship or extraordinary
difficulties because of exceptional and unique conditions of access,
location, shape, size, drainage, or other physical features of the site,
the requirements may be modified to mitigate the hardship, provided
that the public interest is protected and the development is in
keeping with the general spirit and intent of this ordinance.
1. This section shall not be interpreted to permit the development of land
which is inherently unsuitable for the use proposed.
Case No. Attachment A
ZA15-097 Page 5
2. Any modification will not have the effect of preventing the orderly
subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the provisions of
this ordinance. B. Discretion of Council: At the discretion of the Council,
the normal standards and requirements of this ordinance may also be
modified in the case of a Planned Unit Development. Such departures
from the standards specified may be made only when the Council finds
that the plan provides for convenience and safe access, adequate space
for recreation, and provision for light and air, and offers all essential utility
services and necessary public and other facilities, and is in conformance
with all provisions of the City Code which specifically apply to Planned

Written Narrative
The scope of work for this project proposes (4) individual lots. Lot One is defined as an Open Space
Lot and contains an existing drainage and detention pond. This retention pond will contain a Scott
Aerator DA-20 and North Star 3HP display aerator fountain with floating platform, self contained pump
assembly and wire basket (or equal). Lots 2,3 and 4 of the proposed Lots are Pad Sites for one-story
Office Buildings. The Development works as One Master Plan with over 50% landscape for the entire
Development and ten foot bufferyards around all four sides. These buildings are to be operated during
typical office hours. An Open Space Management Plan would require that all Three Lots with buildings
be responsible for maintenance of the Drainage Areas, Landscaping and shared Parking and Drives. All
three buildings can be built at one time or at three different times with different owners. These buildings
shall be built on engineered concrete foundation, wood framed with a masonry veneer.
S-P-2 Regulations:
All uses and regulations shall be based upon O-1 Zoning regulations with the following exceptions:
a. Side Setbacks: 5’ on the east side of Lot 2, all other side setbacks shall be 15’.
b.Front Setback: 30’.
c.Rear Setback: 15’.
d.Bufferyards are not required along interior property lines.
e.Front Bufferyard shall be a Type “Q” 15 feet. ( This increases the required amount of
landscaping per 100 feet from 1 to 2 Canopy Trees, from 2 to 3 Accent Trees, and from
8 shrubs to 10 shrubs.)
f.Impervious coverage will not be met on a single lot basis but will met by the
development of the 4 lots as a whole.
Case No. Attachment C
ZA15-097 Page 1
g.Parking is based upon 1 space per 300 square feet of General Office Buildings and 1
space per 150 square feet of Medical Office Building. (In order for Medical Office use
to occur the Building size would be reduced to meet the parking ratio available at the 1
parking space allowed to 150 square feet of building.)
h.On-site trash receptacle shall be permitted to be located on the site forward of the
principal building on the lot. The Dumpster enclosure shall be located in the rear (south)
Landscape Bufferyard area.
i.The retention pond will contain a Scott Aerator DA-20 and North Star 3HP display
aerator fountain with floating platform, self contained pump assembly and wire basket
(or equal).
