A: Ground mounted monument sign and building mounted signs. Q: Are there stop signs for traffic before it enters Fossil Creek Boulevard? A: Snead Drive and the Discount tire access drive will have stop signs for traffic entering onto Fossil Creek Boulevard. Q: Are you going to disturb the creek? A: [from Natural Resource Staff] - There is an average 100' wide buffer required from Fossil Creek. The City will locate the future Fossil Creek Trail next to the creek along the south property edge of this development. Comment: Most of the property south and east of site is the open space belonging to the neighboring Home Owners Association. Q: Will there be pollution that effects the creek? (Stormwater runoff) A: There are requirements in place to contain ten year storm, and a grease trap is required for any inside floor drainage. The water from the parking lot drains to an on -site detention pond that will hold the water for forty hour before it drains completely back into the creek. The detention pond will filter debris from floods within the 100 year flood plain. Q: Oil Change? A: Not done here. Trench drain and grease seperator is for hosing off the garage floor. None of the floor drain water goes to Fossil Creek, it goes into the City's sanatary sewer system. Q: Will there be air ratchet noise, and at what hours? A: [by applicant) Hours are 8-5 Monday through Saturday, closed Sunday. Decibel level measurements are indicated on a hand out that was passed out at the meeting. Decibel measurements 90' away are under 60 decibels, which is equivelant to a Page 1 of 1 Q: Where will tires be stored? A: Only inside. Comment: Concerned about sound of equipment. It should be mitigated. What about a noise barter? Q: Lighting? Q: How many cars do they service?

Transportation Level of Service Requirements [3.6.4] — The Transportation Planning Department and the Traffic Operations Department have determined that the project meets the applicable Transportation Level of Service(LOS) requirements. FINDINGS OF FACT/CONCLUSIONS After reviewing the Discount Tire at Fossil Creek P.D.P., staff makes the following findings of fact and conclusions: 1. The proposed land use is permitted in the (C) Commercial zone district. 2. The Project Development Plan complies with all applicable district standards of Section 4.17 of the Land Use Code, the (C) Commercial zone district. 3. Upon action by City Council vacating several portions of College Avenue and Fossil Creek Parkway rights -of -way, the Project Development Plan complies with all applicable General Development Standards contained in Article 3 of the Land Use Code, except section 3.5.3(B)(2) where a modification was granted by the Planning and Zoning Board. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Discount Tire at Fossil Creek P.D.P., File # 26-02 under the condition that City Council does In fact vacate the proposed portions of College Avenue and Fossil Creek Parkway rights -of - way as anticipated. Discount Tire at Fossil Creek P.D.P., File # 26-02 July 2, 2003 Type 1 Hearing Page 5 2. Water Hazards [3.3.3] — The PDP has been reviewed by and complies with the requirements of the Stormwater Department. 3. Engineering Design Standards [3.3.5] — This project complies with all design standards, requirements, and specifications for all of the commenting departments and agencies. C. Building Standards [3.5] Building and Project Compatibility [3.5.1 ] — The proposed building uses the same colors and materials already found in the neighborhood therefore is compatible with the established architectural of buildings in the surrounding area. Utility meters, trash collection, and other service functions are incorporated into the overall design scheme of the site so that these uses are screened and out of view of high visibility areas. 2. Mixed -Use, Institutional and Commercial Buildings [3.5.3] — The applicant was granted a modification to Section 3.5.3(B)(2) of the Land Use Code from the Planning and Zoning Board on August 15, 2002. The standard would normally require buildings to be setback no more than 15 feet from streets classified smaller than a full arterial, however the applicant was granted permission to position the building so that its setback from Fossil Creek Parkway varies between 26.5 feet and 39.5 feet. The building otherwise satisfies the requirements of Section 3.5.3 for variation in massing, fagade treatment, entrance treatment, and the base and top treatment requirements, therefore the application satisfies the requirements of this section of the code. D. Transportation and Circulation [3.6] Master Street Plan 13.6.1 ] — College Avenue is designated as a °Major 6 Lane Arterial' on the Master Street Plan, and Fossil Creek Parkway is designated as a "Collector 2 Lane." According to current standards, there is excess right-of-way on College Avenue. This project proposes vacation of the excess College Avenue right-of- way, as well as the vacation and dedication of small portions of right-of-way on Fossil Creek Boulevard. These vacations must be approved by council, which staff anticipates will be approved without controversy. Staff does however recommend that a condition be placed on the approval of the P.D.P. that conditions such approval upon successful right-of-way vacation by City Council. Discount Tire at Fossil Creek P.D.P., File # 26-02 July 2, 2003 Type 1 Hearing Page 4 • Parking Lot Layout [3.2.2(E)] — The on -site vehicular area provides well-defined circulation routes for vehicles and pedestrians. Landscaped peninsulas with raised curbs define vehicular area entrances. This standard is therefore satisfied. • Parking Lots — Required Number of Off -Street Spaces for Type of Use [3.2.2(K)] — This Section of the Land Use Code specifies that vehicle servicing and maintenance establishments can have up to 5 spaces per 1000 square feet of gross leasable area of building. However, in the event that on -street or shared parking is not available on land adjacent to the use, the maximum allowed parking may be increased by 20%, provided that the amount of parking lot landscaping is also increased by 20%. The applicant proposes 46 parking spaces, which does in fact exceed the 42 spaces that would be allowed if the 511000 ratio were applied, however there is no on -street or shared parking available on any adjacent site, and the parking lot landscaping exceeds the minimum required by more than 20%, therefore 46 spaces is permitted. 3. Solar Access, Orientation, Shading [3.2.3] — The proposed plan is designed in a way that protects its roof's access to sunshine between gam and 3pm on December 21 ". The physical elements of the development plan are located and designed in a way that will not cast a shadow onto structures within the site or on adjacent property greater than allowed in this section. 4. Site Lighting — [3.2.4] — As required the applicant is using lighting fixtures that are concealed and fully shielded featuring sharp cut-off capability which reduces up -light, spill -light, glare and unnecessary diffusion on adjacent property. The maximum and minimum lighting on -site lighting levels are in compliance with this section. B. Engineering Standards [3.3] 1. Plat Standards [3.3.1 ] As required, the general layout of the lots, roads, driveways, utilities, drainage facilities, and other services within the proposed development are designed in a way that utilizes the existing street system within the neighborhood. Proper right-of- way has been dedicated for adjacent public streets, emergency access easements, and utility easements have been provided as needed to serve the area being platted. Discount Tire at Fossil Creek P.D.P., File # 26-02 July 2, 2003 Type 1 Hearing Page 3 or ornamental trees. The proposed site plan satisfies this standard. • Street Trees [3.2.1(D)(2)] — Street trees are required at 30 to 40 foot spacing along adjacent streets. The application satisfies this standard. • Minimum Species Diversity [3.2.1(D)(3)] — Based on the total proposed number of new trees (48), the applicant would be allowed to have up to 25% of any one species (12), but has only proposed a maximum of 9 of one species, therefore satisfies the minimum species diversity requirement. • Foundation Plantings [3.2.1(E)(2)(d)] — All exposed sections of building walls located in high visibility areas have planting beds of at least 5 feet in width. The landscape plan therefore satisfies the foundation plantings requirement. • Parking Lot Perimeter Landscaping [3.2.1(E)(4)] —Trees are provided in excess of the required 1 tree per 40 feet around between the vehicular areas and the adjacent streets. The landscape plan therefore satisfies the parking lot perimeter landscaping requirement. • Screening [3.2.1(E)(6)] — Landscape and building elements are placed to adequately screen areas of low visual interest and visually intrusive site elements including the trash enclosure area. • Utilities [3.2.1(K)] — The landscape and utility plans have been coordinated and the required tree/utility separations have been provided, thereby satisfying this standard. 2. Access, Circulation and Parking [3.2.2] • Safety Considerations [3.2.2(C)(1)] — Pedestrians are separated from vehicles and bicycles to the maximum extent feasible, thereby satisfying this requirement. • Curbcuts and Ramps [3.2.2(C)(2)] — Ramps are provided where the street sidewalks cross the private drive aisles, thereby satisfying this requirement.
