Section 3.2.2(H) comains standards that address drive-in facilities. lease note that under (H)(4), the building must provide a walk-up service as well as the drive-in service. This standard could also be achieved by providing an interior sit-down function. At this time, there does not appear to be either a walk-up or an interior sit-down options. 4. Please note that under Section 3.5.3(D), in the case of multiple building development, each individual building shall include predominant characteristics shared by all buildings in the development. Further, a standardized prototype design shall be modified as necessary to comply with these requirements. 5. Since a Convenience Shopping Center is permitted subject to consideration by the Planning and Zoning Board, a neighborhood information meeting is required. 6. Section 3.5.3(D) also requires that a each building be designed such that there is a distinctive base and top treatment. In the case of flat -roofed buildings, this requires a cornice, sloping false mansard, parapet or other architectural element that creates a distinctive top. 7. As a Convenience Shopping Center, the development is also subject to the requirements of Section 3.5.5. Please note that there are specific setbacks required that may differ from the Build -To Line requirements in Section 3.5.3. Staff is willing to work with the applicant on site design that best accomplishes the overall objectives of creating an attractive development that serves all modes of travel. 8. The proposed development project is subject to a Type 2 (Planning and Zoning Board) review and public hearing. The applicant for this development request is required to hold a neighborhood information meeting prior to formal submittal of the proposal. Neighborhood meetings offer an informal way to get feedback from your surrounding neighbors and discover any potential hiccups prior to the formal hearing. Please contact me, at 221-6750, to assist you in setting a date, time, and location. I and possibly other City staff, would be present to facilitate the meeting. 9.

The office building would be similar to the footprint as shown on the site plan (originally submitted as Fox Pointe Plaza, 2006), but 1 story instead of 2. A restaurant with drive-thru would be located to the east of the office building. The site is located in the Employment (E) Zone District. In the Employment zone district offices are subject to Administrative (Type 1) review. Drive-in (drive-thru) restaurants are subject to Planning & Zoning Board (Type 2) review, but only if located in a convenience shopping center. Please see the following summary of comments regarding the project request referrenced above. The comments offered informally by staff during the Conceptual Review will assist you in preparing the detailed components of the project application. Modifications and additions to these comments may be made at the time of formal review of this project. If you have any questions regarding these comments or the next steps in the review process, you may contact the individual commenter or direct your questions through the Project Planner, Ted Shepard, at 970-221-6343 or tshepard@fcgov.com.
