ANALYSIS The applicant proposes to place a 5,200 square foot commercial building within the existing Fair Acres parking lot to house a 3- tenant shopping center building for general retail and service business uses. Access to the development area will be provided by the existing drives to the Fair Acres shopping center. Pedestrian connection to Jackson Street is provided by a walk from Jackson Street to the walk circling the building. Lighting configurations will not change except to remove necessary parking lot pole lights and add building lighting. Building wall signage will be located on the west and east facades of the structure with ground signage included within the existing signs of the Fair Acres shopping center. Landscaping at the site is proposed to consist of shrub plantings situated on all sides of the building and tree plantings on the north side of the structure and within the landscape islands and will need to be code compliant. FISCAL IMPACT The development will result in the addition of property tax dollars as the building and development area improvements will be valued much higher than surface parking. City services are already provided in the area so the additional development should not negatively impact on those service providers. RECOMMENDATION The Plan Commission approved of this request at its November 18, 2008 meeting. Approved, 'r �'�C"� City Manager ITEM: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT/DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW FOR RETAIL SHOPPING CENTER AT 1900 JACKSON STREET (FAIR ACRES OUTLOT) Plan Commission meeting of November 18, 2008 GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: Adam Heindel, Excel Engineering Inc. Owner: 1900 Jackson Street, LLC Actions Requested: The petitioner requests approval of a Conditional Use Permit/Development Plan approval for a new retail building as a freestanding component of the Fair Acres Shopping Center located at 1900 Jackson Street. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: The Zoning Ordinance establishes criteria and guidelines for the establishment and/or amendment of a PD overlay district in Section 30 -33 (A)(1) and Conditional Use Permit in Section 30 -11 (D). Property Location and Type: The approximately 0.60 acre development area is a portion of the existing parking lot for the Fair Acres Shopping Center located at the 1900 Block of Jackson Street approximately 225 feet north of the northeast corner of Jackson Street and West Murdock Avenue, directly north of the existing driveway from the Taco Bell Restaurant.

C -2 ANALYSIS Use This request involves the development of a 3 -tenant commercial strip center building for general retail and service business uses. The proposed development is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the surrounding commercial uses in the area. The improvement is also advantageous as it will help to establish a presence directly on the Jackson Street right -of -way and shield the large parking lot of Fair Acres from the roadway. General commercial and service uses are appropriate for this area as they are not only consistent with long range plans but are a logical addition to the longstanding commercial shopping center. Site Design The applicant proposes to place a 5,200 square foot commercial building within the existing Fair Acres parking lot, as depicted on the submitted site plans. The building will be divided into three tenant spaces, include a concrete brick dumpster enclosure, pedestrian walks and reconfiguration of part of the parking lot. As the buildings front is facing east (parking lot) and the rear of the building is facing west (Jackson Street), the petitioner found it difficult to include a dedicated loading area, which is required for structures over 5,000 square feet. Staff understands the difficulty developing within an existing parking area that fronts both the street and the parking lot, as it relates to properly locating a loading area and points out that if the structure was 200 square feet smaller a loading facility would not be necessary. Staff is therefore in support of a base standard modification to eliminate the need of a loading facility. All dimensional regulations of the zoning code appear to be met. The petitioner has included several islands and /or island "bumpouts" within the site plan, which is important to meet code requirements and to better define drive aisles and provide areas for landscaping. The plan also depicts two striped aisle ends at the northwest (next to the dumpster) and southeast (at the parking aisle end) corners of the development area. These areas are going to be required to be landscaped islands as well to meet code requirements. Access Access to the development area will be provided by two existing drives on Jackson Street, the two existing drives on Murdock Avenue and one existing and one planned access point on North Main Street. No new driveways are being proposed with this project. Vehicular circulation on the Fair Acre site is being negatively affected however as the inclusion of this structure will effectively block movement going south in the westernmost parking row of the Fair Acres parking lot from continuing south out the south exit onto Jackson Street, thereby requiring all vehicles to go north up the second row from the west.. To help alleviate this issue, staff is suggesting that a combination of signage, a curbed directional inhibitor and opening to the third parking row drive aisle from the west be included as a condition of the development plan approval. Alternately, the concern could be addressed by changing the angle of the parking stalls on the east of the building to 90 degrees, allowing two -way movement. If the 90 degree parking option is chosen, it will necessitate a shift in the building placement to the west thereby requiring a base standard modification for the Jackson Street setback, which is supported by staff. Pedestrian connection to Jackson Street is provided in the form of a formal walk from Jackson Street to the walk circling the building. Concern was expressed with the potential of vehicles to overhang the walks along the east side of the building and a suggestion that the pedestrian Item — 1900Jackson- Retail Center CUP /PD walkway on the east side of the building be protected by the inclusion of wheelstops or other physical barrier prohibiting encroachment of cars over the walk. Lighting The petitioner has indicated that they are not changing the lighting configuration except to remove necessary parking lot pole lights and add building lighting. Submitted existing lighting /photometric plans when compared to proposed lighting /photometric plans depict light levels to be no greater than existing after development. Sinae Formal signage plans are not included within the submittal material, however the site plan does not indicate any new ground mounted signage. It includes building wall signage upon the west and east facades of the structure however. Staff believes that ground signage should be included within the existing signs of the Fair Acres shopping center (increased in size with the Shopko CUP/PD, approved in October as Resolution 08 -413) and new ground signage not be permitted within this CUP/PD. Building wall mounted signage per Zoning Code, is allowed up to a maximum of thirty percent (30 %) of the wall area per fagade which should be suitable advertising as the building is located very close to the street right of way and as the north and south facades can yield additional area for signage. Landscaping Landscaping at the site is proposed to consist primarily of shrub plantings situated on all sides of the building and tree plantings primarily on the north side of the building and within the landscape islands. Landscaping does not appear to be code compliant, especially in regard to parking lot perimeter landscaping. Staff does not support a base standard modification for landscaping. Stormwater Management Grading, erosion control and stormwater plans have not been submitted with the application. The hard /impervious surface area of the site will not be increased with this development and landscape areas are being added. It is anticipated that the development will not require stormwater facilities, but staff would like to point out that stormwater management will have to be approved by the Department of Public Works during regular building permit application. Buildings The primary structure is designed as a flat roof building with a height of approximately 20 feet. The elevations depict a decorative parapet wall on the west and east elevations extending approximately five feet six inches higher than the roof line. Staff is concerned that the north and south elevations appear to have been left open creating an odd and unfinished appearance to the roof that may affect the ability to affectively screen rooftop mechanical equipment. Staff suggests that the parapet walls, matching the east and west elevations, be incorporated on the north and south elevations. The exterior of the building is proposed to be predominately brick veneer with accent brick and EFIS cornice and reveals. Additionally, the building will have aluminum storefront window systems and a metal canopy. All facades will be accented with wall sconce light fixtures. Staff believes the building design is high - quality but has a concern regarding the lack of attention given to the west side of the south elevation and suggests that the petitioner incorporate additional architectural features into the north facade or use landscaping to break up the stark appearance of Item — 1900Jackson- Retail Center CUP /PD this section of wall as it will be highly visible from Jackson Street and the Fair Acres Shopping Center. RECOMMENDATION /CONDITIONS Staff believes that the proposed development, with conditions, will meet the standards as set forth in Section 30-11: Conditional Use Permits as well as Section 30 -33: Planned Developments and not have a negative impact on surrounding lands, will be harmonious with the intended character of the general vicinity, and will not be detrimental to neighboring property or the community as a whole. The Department of Community Development recommends approval of the conditional use permit /development plan as proposed with the following conditions: 1) Vehicle circulation issues in the development area is addressed and approved by the Department of Community Development. 2) Base standard modification to eliminate the required loading facility. 3) Base standard modification to reduce the Jackson Street setback, as needed to address the vehicle circulation issue. 4) Pedestrian walkway on the east side of the building is protected by the inclusion of wheelstops or other physical barrier. 5) Parapet walls, matching the east and west elevations, be incorporated on the north and south elevations. 6) Incorporate additional architectural features or add vertical landscaping at the south fagade, to be approved by the Department of Community Development. The Plan Commission approved of the conditional use permit /development plan as requested with conditions noted. The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item. Mr. Borsuk questioned if staff had evaluated the sign and utility cabinet on Murdock Avenue yet as it has been an issue with a previous requests on the Fair Acres site as these structures were possibly a safety hazard by blocking vision. He felt if it had not been addressed as yet, it should be reviewed as part of this development proposal. Mr. Buck stated that no additional signage was being proposed for this development other than wall signage and that additional ground signage would not be recommended for approval as it could be included in the existing multi - tenant ground signage already on site. The signage was an issue on a previous request and conditions of that review addressed it. The request being presented today is specifically for the proposed retail center development, which is not related to ground signage and staff cautioned the commission on placing conditions unrelated to the request. Mr. Burich added that the signage issue should not be considered part of the strip mall development and to his knowledge, no issues have been raised by either the Transit or Police Departments relative to this matter and there has not been any incidents that staff is aware of that were a result of this signage or utility cabinet blocking vision. Mr. Esslinger arrived at 4:20 pm. Item — 1900Jackson- Retail Center CUP /PD Ms. Propp questioned if the grass berm area would remain along Jackson Street and if there would be access to the development from Jackson Street or if entrances would be located from the parking lot area only. Ms. Mattox questioned if the trees located in the berm area of Jackson Street would remain. Adam Heindel, Excel Engineering, 100 Camelot Drive, Fond du Lac, presented a revised site plan for the development and explained that they are proposing to move the building 5 feet to the west to resolve the traffic circulation issue noted in the staff report. They also are proposing to change the width of the sidewalk in front of the development to 8 feet to address the issue of providing some type of barrier on the east side of the structure to prevent vehicles from overhanging the pedestrian walk area. They will work with staff on the building elevations to resolve the issues of parapet wall consistency and screening the mechanicals located on the roof. He also stated that the trees would most likely be incorporated into the landscape plans when grading for the site is approved. Mr. Fojtik inquired if the conditions were acceptable to the developer. Mr. Heindel responded that they were. Dr. Sonnleitner, representing the Columbus Club, 1821 Jackson Street, voiced his concern about the appearance of the west side of the building facing Jackson Street as it would be the back of the structure and commented that he wanted some type of assurance that it would be landscaped appropriately and be aesthetically pleasing. Mr. Buck displayed the elevations again for the west side of the development and commented that the landscaping on the site would be required to meet Zoning Code requirements. Andy Dumke, 2030 Menominee Drive, stated that they were looking at relocating the ground signage and utility cabinet on Murdock Avenue, but they need to get approval from Pick N Save since they hold the rights to the sign in their lease agreement. He also commented that they are considering setting up the landscape islands with parking stalls at 90 degrees to coordinate with the Shopko development on the east side of the site. Mr. Bowen asked if the revised site plan presented today was the one being approved. Mr. Buck replied that staff would need to review the new plan but providing that it satisfied the conditions in the staff report, he felt it would be acceptable. Mr. Esslinger commented that he liked the proposed development and felt that it utilized wasted parking lot space on the site. Motion by Lowry to approve the conditional use permit /development plan as requested with the following conditions: 1) Vehicle circulation issues in the development area is addressed and approved by the Department of Community Development. 2) Base standard modification to eliminate the required loading facility.
