14. SR 60 Corridor Plan Criteria: Since the site is located within the SR 60 corridor plan area, the corridor plan criteria apply. The plan meets SR 60 corridor plan criteria as described below: a. SR 60 Roadway Landscaping: The only road fronted by the project is SR 60. The parcel has 324' of frontage on SR 60 and 86' of driveway width along SR 60, which reduces the overall plantable frontage width to 238'. The applicant's design proposes a wide planting area (71' wide), which includes stormwater retention and green area. Proposed plantings within the 71' wide SR 60 landscape area are sufficient to form a Type "B" buffer. That buffer is required by the SR 60 corridor plan because of the vacuum and car wash bays oriented ("opened") toward SR 60. The landscape area along SR 60 will incorporate a low berm (18" to 24" above the parking lot) and will include shrubs, understory, and canopy trees. b. Architectural Features: All buildings, including the fuel island canopy and the overall mini storage building complex, will have sloped standing seam metal roofs with a 5:12 pitch or greater. The walls of the buildings will generally be broken -up by columns, windows, and architectural features. Staff has also reviewed proposed colors and finish materials for the project and has determined that they meet SR 60 corridor plan requirements. C. Foundation Plantings: All proposed buildings have foundation plantings. Foundation plantings for the mini storage and vacuum buildings will be placed on the project perimeter (on the back side of the buildings), and placed in an interior parking lot landscape area which separates the mini storage building from the rest of the site. Staff is recommending that some of the foundation plantings proposed behind the convenience store be located in front of the store to provide more visual effect. Presently, the only foundation plantings in front of the convenience store are two small terminal islands. Relocating foundation plantings from the rear of the building to the front would require elimination of 1 or 2 parking spaces in front of the building. It should be noted that an excess of 10 spaces is currently proposed. 15. Signs: The freestanding signs for the project will be landscaped monument style signs. A complete sign package is required to be submitted with the building permit. 16. Lighting Plan: A conceptual lighting plan has been reviewed; additional details will need to be provided with the preliminary PD plan. 17. Concurrency: The applicant will obtain a conditional concurrency certificate prior to Board of County Commissioners consideration. 18. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: Vacant, RM -8 South: Vacant, single family/CG East: Vacant/CL West: Post office/CL RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the PD rezoning (and corresponding ordinance) and conceptual plan with the following conditions: 28 December 9, 1997 M M M
