FILE #LA24-000068 <br />February 18, 2025 <br />Page 7 of 10 <br /> <br /> <br />67 percent of these materials, excluding window and door areas. Evaluation of building <br />materials shall be based on the quality of its design and relationship and compatibility to <br />building materials in the immediate neighborhood. The applicant is proposing to use <br />brick and stucco on each building in combination to meet the 67% high-quality material <br />requirement. The remaining percentage will be made up of a cement-board siding <br />material finished in a similar color to match the exterior. <br /> <br />Section 78-827 Off-Street Parking: <br /> <br />(d) Required Parking: The City Code does not list a parking standard associated with the <br />garage condo use. The applicant is not proposing any outdoor parking. Because the use <br />specifically involves interior parking spaces, Staff applied the following provision: City <br />Code Sec. 78-827(d) (3) Multi-tenant industrial buildings: “One space for each 400 <br />square feet of gross floor area, or the sum of the component gross floor areas as <br />follows, whichever is greater”. Based on this provision, a total of 235 parking spaces <br />should be provided; each unit would need to provide 2.7 parking spaces to conform. As <br />designed, each unit would support 2-4 enclosed parking spaces; 60 of the larger-sized <br />units would support 4 cars (240 spaces) and 25 smaller units would support 2 parking <br />spaces (50 spaces). This results in a total of 290 indoor spaces for the site exceeding the <br />calculated requirement. <br /> <br />Additionally, the site layout allows for loading and parking directly in front of each unit. <br />It is anticipated in the applicant’s business model that each individual unit will <br />accommodate the necessary parking for the owner. The applicant should provide plans <br />or additional testimony demonstrating their plans for parking on the site including a <br />dimensional layout for the per-unit parking and vehicle maneuverability within the <br />site. <br /> <br />(g) Snow storage in parking stalls. Provision shall be made in the parking area for <br />adequate snow storage or removal in order to ensure that the required number of <br />spaces is available at all times during the year. The applicant has indicated that storage <br />of snow can be addressed by using the south and east side yards of the property. <br /> <br />(h) Circulation. Traffic circulation systems shall be designed to accommodate anticipated <br />traffic demands. Vehicular traffic generated by industrial uses shall be channeled and <br />controlled in a manner which will avoid congestion or interference with other vehicular <br />transportation systems and pedestrians and which will avoid creating traffic hazards and <br />excessive traffic. Staff finds the layout of the proposed plan is reasonable and should <br />support traffic circulation. <br />(i) Parking size. Each parking space shall have a minimum width of nine feet and a <br />minimum depth of 20 feet exclusive of aisle and maneuvering space. While there are no <br />exterior spaces or guest parking areas proposed, the drive aisles will be 50’ wide. This <br />width could support parking for each unit and allow interior traffic to pass within the <br />development. <br /> <br />(m) Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate an off-street parking area shall be hooded <br />and so arranged as to reflect the light away from adjoining property, abutting residential <br />uses, and public rights-of-way. The applicant submitted a lighting plan that shows wall- <br />24
