not require the addition of curb and gutter.

Adequate delivery and loading area is present on the northwest side of the site. The
truck entrance is proposed to improve truck access and loading.

Parking is acceptable from a building square footage perspective. They are required to
have 127 spaces (1/1,000 SF) and currently have 162. The business has a higher number
of employees than a warehouse facility and has struggled with onsite parking in the
past. They are proposing to add an additional 21 net parking spaces. The parking
regulations also requires at least one space for each employee.
Architectural Standards
There are no changes proposed to the building at this time.
Tree Removal
Tree removal will require new plantings for significant trees per the city tree
replacement policy.
Landscaping
The landscape plan requirements do not come into effect on this proposal because the
building is not being expanded by 25%. Any required landscaping impacted must be
replaced.
Lighting
Two battery powered LED lights with solar recharging panels will be utilized in the
expanded parking lot. Lighting levels at the property lines are very low.
