Criteria used for CUPs are located in Section 30-382 of the Zoning Ordinance. Property Location and Background Information: The subject area includes three parcels totaling 1.79 acres, with frontage on High Avenue, Pearl Avenue, and Market Street. The property located at 110 Pearl Avenue includes the existing GO Transit station and associated parking area, while the vacant property to the west, included with this request, has access drives and parking stalls already in use by the GO Transit station.

GO Transit is proposing to demolish the existing office building and construct a new 1,515 sq. ft. restroom/waiting area building (“New Support Building”) and bus platform to the west of the new building. GO Transit has requested a rezone at 110 Pearl Avenue and the vacant property located to the west of 110 Pearl Avenue (previous Item VI), to provide consistent CMU zoning for the three subject properties. A Certified Survey Map (CSM) will be used to combine the three parcels into one. Site Design & Access As proposed, the site will have access to the new and existing bus platforms from Market Street, Pearl Avenue, and High Avenue. The existing public parking lot will have access from High Avenue. Page 2 Item VII.A – CUP: Transit Center Required Provided Front Setback (Market St.) 0 ft. 0 ft.

The proposed new buildings meet setback requirements for the CMU District and the additional pavement will not extend into established setback areas. The public lot will have 53 parking spaces. There is no minimum parking requirement or maximum impervious surface ratio for the CMU District. Signage No sign plans were included with this request. Lighting A lighting plan was not included with this request. Any changes to the existing lighting will be reviewed for compliance. Storm Water Management The applicant has been in contact with the Department of Public Works regarding storm water management for the subject area. The final storm water management plans will be approved during the Site Plan Review process. Landscaping The applicant has stated that existing plantings on the site will be preserved, or replaced. The final landscape plan will be reviewed during the Site Plan Review process. Building Facades The proposed CMU zoning of the site will require a Special Area Design Review of the new restroom/waiting area building and bus platform. Special Area Design Review will be addressed under subsequent agenda Item VII.B. Page 3 Item VII.A – CUP: Transit Center RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS In its review and recommendation to the Common Council, on an application for a CUP, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings based on the criteria established by Chapter 30-382 (F)(3): (1) Is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan as the Center City future land use classification recommends public land uses. (2) Would not result in a substantial or undue adverse impact on nearby property, the character of the neighborhood, environmental factors, traffic factors, parking, public improvements, public property or rights-of-way, or other matters affecting the public health, safety, or general welfare because the proposed site will comply with zoning requirements for the CMU District. (3) Maintains the desired consistency of land uses, land use intensities, and land use impacts as related to the environs of the subject property because the transit center use is consistent with the existing use of the property and compatible with neighboring commercial uses. (4) The conditional use is located in an area that will be adequately served by, and will not impose an undue burden on, any of the improvements, facilities, utilities or services provided by public or private agencies serving the subject property as existing infrastructure is in place to expand the transit center use. (5) The potential public benefits outweigh any potential adverse impacts of the proposed conditional use, after taking into consideration the applicant’s proposal and any requirements recommended by the applicant to ameliorate such impacts because the transit center expansion will improve public transportation for the City. Staff recommends approval of the proposed CUP for a transit center use at 110 Pearl Avenue, 222 Pearl Avenue, and the property located on the south side of the 100 block of High Avenue (parcel 0101160000) as proposed with the findings listed above and the following condition: (1) Final landscaping and lighting plans shall be approved by the Department of Community Development.

The Phase 1 of the project was the construction of a driver support facility at the Pearl Street site. Phase 2 is the construction of a public restroom facility and waiting area north of the Phase 1 construction. The Phase 2 facility will have matching materials to the Phase 1 driver support facility; red brick facade with beige metal siding. The new facility will also feature stone cladding at the primary public entrance to help as a visual way-finding marker. The Phase 2 project will also include a second bus platform area. The new platform area will replicate the existing platform area, with matching dark bronze metal roof and red face brick columns. The site landscaping will be primarily grass. Existing plantings along the north edge of the property will be preserved, or replaced if needed. All plantings on the property will be well maintained. Please let me know if you have any comments/questions. Sincerely, Jon Wallenkamp, AIA KUENY ARCHITECTS LLC.
