HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem III PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT JULY 16, 2024 ITEM III: SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AMENDMENT FOR EXTERIOR BUILDING MODIFICATIONS AT 640 NORTH MAIN STREET GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: Laura Kroll, Gries Architectural Group, LLC Property Owner: Del Singh, RK Five LLC Action(s) Requested: The applicant requests approval of Specific Implementation Plan Amendment for building modifications. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance. Property Location and Background Information: The subject area consists of an approximate 0.5-acre parcel located on the east side of North Main Street, north of East Parkway Avenue. The site has an existing building that was previously used as an auto service facility and associated vehicle parking/storage area. The surrounding area consists primarily of commercial uses as well as residential uses to the east. The 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends Center City use for the subject area. On May 25, 2021, Common Council approved a General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan for a gas station/convenience store and laundromat. The approved development has not been constructed.

The applicant has submitted revised plans for remodel of the existing building with the second floor being removed resulting in a one-story 5,800 sq. ft. building. The building will be used as a convenience store with space for a future tenant (to be determined). No changes are proposed to the fuel station. A neighborhood meeting was held on July 8, 2024. No neighbors attended the meeting. Staff received a phone call from a neighbor who was unable to attend the meeting. They stated that they would prefer an 8’ tall CMU fence rather than the proposed 8’ tall cedar fence along the east property line to increase the buffer for their residence. Site Design No changes are being proposed to the existing site design. Lighting The applicant has submitted a photometric lighting plan that matches the lighting plan of the approved SIP. Page 2 ITEM III - SIP Amendment – 640 N Main St. Signage The applicant has not submitted revised signage plans. The existing SIP included a Base Standard Modification (BSM) to allow a 15’ tall electronic message board sign to be placed 94 ft. from a residentially-zoned parcel, where code requires a 100’ separation from residentially- zoned properties. Wall signage and canopy signage must be compliant with UMU district signage standards, which allow a maximum of 1 sq. ft. of signage per linear foot of building frontage. Ground signage must comply with UMU signage standards or match the approved sign of the existing SIP. Landscaping No changes are being proposed to the approved landscaping plan. However, the applicant has modified proposed fencing for buffer yard requirements from the approved 6’ solid CMU fencing to 8’ tall cedar fencing. Staff does not have concerns with the fencing revision as buffer yard requirements do not specify material of the minimum 6’ tall solid fencing. Design Standards The approved building elevations of the existing SIP consisted predominantly of Class I materials (brick veneer/storefront windows) on all facades along with a split-face CMU knee wall. The applicant has submitted revised building elevations that consist of brick, storefront windows, and LP Smartside. Section 30-243 of the zoning ordinance requires commercial buildings to be clad in 50% Class I materials. Rear facades not facing a public street are exempt from this requirement. The specific elevations breakdown is as follows. North (side): Class I – 15% Class III – 85% South (side): Class I – 52% Class III – 48% East (rear): Class I – 19% Class III – 81% West (front): Class I – 51% Class III – 49% The proposed building elevations slightly exceed the 50% Class I material requirement on the front (west) and side (south) façades. The applicant is requesting reduced Class I materials on the north (side) façade. Staff is supportive of the Class I material reduction on this façade as the building is built to the property line and it is anticipated that future development on the property to the north of the site will result in minimal visibility of this façade. To offset the requested Class I material reduction, the applicant has slightly increased Class I materials on the south and west facades and included variation of colors and entrance awnings for added detail and have included enhanced materials (brick) on the canopy columns. Page 3 ITEM III - SIP Amendment – 640 N Main St. Proposed Building and Canopy Elevations 2021 Approved SIP Building Elevations FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Planned Development district, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings based on the criteria established by Chapter 30-387 (C)(6): Page 4 ITEM III - SIP Amendment – 640 N Main St. (a) The proposed Planned Development project is consistent with the overall purpose and intent of this Chapter. (c) The proposed architecture and character of the proposed Planned Development project is compatible with adjacent/nearby development.

Base Standard Modification for reduced Class I materials on the north façade to 15%, where code requires 50% Class I materials. 2.
