(b) Where an employment or industrial use abuts a residential
area, there shall be no drastic and abrupt change in the scale

(c) All commercial/retail and industrial uses, except for off-street

within completely enclosed buildings or structures.
(2) Building Design.
(a) All buildings shall provide a primary entrance that faces and
opens directly onto the adjacent street sidewalk or a walkway,
plaza, or courtyard that has direct linkage to the street
sidewalk without requiring pedestrians to cross any
intervening driveways or parking lots.
(b) To the extent reasonably feasible, buildings shall be oriented
to face the adjacent street with no intervening front yard
parking. The following exceptions shall be permitted:
1. Buildings may orient away from the street if the
development provides a campus or park -like
development block with an internal pedestrian
network that functions as an additional alternative to
the street sidewalk by connecting buildings within the
site and directly connecting to common destinations
in the district (such as transit stops, restaurants, child
care facilities, and convenience shopping centers).
Such an internal network shall provide direct
pedestrian access to the street sidewalk(s) or
walkway(s).
2. The streetfront orientation requirement may be met by
facing only a portion of the front facade to the
adjacent street with no intervening front yard parking,
provided that the streetfront facade adjoins a
landscaped yard with a connecting walkway. Such

Dear Leanne:
As part of the proposed project, the Safeway Rocky Mountain Federal Credit Union,
( Hereafter referred to as SFCU ). is requesting two modifications to the Land Use Code:
The first modification relates to Article 4 of the Land Use Code ( Section 4.22 (E)(a-b),
which is attached. As this is an existing site with the building entrance separated from the street
sidewalk by an intervening drive and parking area, it would not be feasible to direct the traffic to
the rear of the building as that would create congestion and flow problems with the drive-in
facility that will be located at the rear of the building. This is an issue that is endemic to this site
and is impossible to overcome without complete redesign of the existing site. The access from
the front entrance to the sidewalk can be enhanced, however, to provide for pedestrian ease and
safety. A well -marked pedestrian crosswalk can be installed with signs identifying the cross walk
as a pedestrian crosswalk, similar to those found at school crossings.
The second modification relates to Article 3 of the Land Use Code ( Section 3.2 (I)(2)(a)
which is attached. Again, this is an existing building with 50 parking spaces, 12 of which will be
immediately removed by the installation of the drive-thru facility. In addition, the SFCU is
planning for future expansion, which will eventually result in a 5,240 square foot facility. Taking
into account this future expansion, this site will have a parking requirement not to exceed 18
spaces (3.5 x 5,240 = 18.34). The site, therefore, exceeds the maximum number of parking
spaces by twenty ( 20 ) spaces and is the basis of the modification request. With the heavy
restaurant use in the area ( Schlotzky's and Godfather's ) and the nature of shared parking
between these facilities, the excess parking is not unwarranted, nor likely to be excessive.
Sincerely,
VELDMAN MORGAN COMMERCIAL, INC.
