Bicentennial Plaza
REQUEST: Thomas Stephen/The White House Exe. Center is requesting approval of a zoning
change and site plan from “C-2” Local Retail Commercial District to “S-P-1” Detailed
Site Plan District with “C-2” Local Retail Commercial District uses. The site plan
proposes an approximately 12,550 square foot retail building. A request for a revised
site plan under the existing “C-2” zoning precedes this item on the agenda.
The “C-2” alternate site plan was scheduled for a public hearing and consideration at
the last two City Council meetings. The first reading of this proposed “S-P-1” zoning
and site plan request was also scheduled to follow as a separate consideration item.
The applicant requested to table both items prior to the meetings. There have been no
changes to the plans since that time.
The regulations proposed under the “S-P-1” zoning are as follows:
Side Yard – There shall be a side yard setback of not less than ten (10) feet
along the east boundary.
Masonry – Concrete tilt wall with a stained finish as shown on the building
elevations.
The following variances are requested:
Parking – 72 parking spaces required, requesting 10% reduction or 65 spaces.
Driveway Spacing – Min. 250 ft required for right-in/right-out drives, 80 ft & 219
ft proposed.
Driveway Stacking – Min. 50 ft required, 41 ft proposed.
This plan is subject to City Council approval and execution of an access agreement for
use of the Bicentennial Park driveway and a parking construction and use agreement on
the park property.
