Summary of Proposal:
The proposed site plan contains revisions to the existing 6,600 sq. ft. office building including an
approximately 5,600 sq. ft. addition to the front and rear of the building. The plan proposes a
revised rear parking lot and driveway relocation. The site parking will be based on 48% medical
and 52% office and will require 61 parking spaces. The rear parking lot will be shifted west to
accommodate the building expansion and align with the proposed driveway off Lakewood Drive.
A new trash enclosure is proposed at the north end of the rear parking lot. Sidewalks are
proposed along N. Carroll Avenue and Lakewood Drive. A new monument sign is proposed for
the site.
Transportation
The property fronts N. Carroll Avenue and Lakewood Drive. N. Carroll Avenue is built to its full
capacity as a 4 lane divided arterial with a ±100 foot right-of-way according to the Master
Thoroughfare Plan. Lakewood Drive is a local residential street. There is one (1) existing
driveway access to the site from N. Carroll Avenue, just north of Lakewood Drive. The applicant
is proposing to relocate the driveway from the N. Carroll Avenue location to Lakewood Avenue.
Zoning
The current zoning on the property is “O-1” Office District. The applicant may seek a rezoning of
the property to “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan District.
