Attorney Bill DeBraal, IRC Deputy County Attorney, noted the original <br /> developer's agreement called for a turn lane at the light at 37th Street. Mr. Moler <br /> explained this had been accommodated at the staff level with a developer's <br /> agreement for the cancer center expansion at the signalized intersection at 7th <br /> Street and 10th Court <br /> Chairman Polackwich closed the public hearing at 7:12 p.m. <br /> ON MOTION BY Mr. Brognano, SECONDED BY Mr. <br /> Stewart, the members voted unanimously (7-0) to <br /> grant major site plan approval for the Health and <br /> Wellness Center with the conditions included in <br /> staffs report. <br /> Public Hearing <br /> Chairman Polackwich read the following into the record: <br /> A. Consideration of Proposed Amendments to the CH, IL, and IG <br /> Maximum Building Coverage Regulations Chapter 911 <br /> [2001110066-74280 / LDRA-15-05-01] [Legislative] <br /> Mr. John McCoy, IRC Chief of Current Development, reviewed the <br /> information contained in his memorandum dated April 13, 2015 and gave a <br /> PowerPoint presentation, copies of which are on file in the Commission Office. <br /> Chairman Polackwich said he understood the building coverage was 40% <br /> and Floor Area Ratio (FAR) was 50%, and as he understood FAR it tended to <br /> involve either multi-storey or multi-buildings on a single lot, and it struck him that <br /> the building coverage was more directly applicable to single-storey buildings than <br /> was the FAR. He understood the need for some type of change for the sake of <br /> consistency but did not understand why the 40% had been changed to 50%, as <br /> opposed to saying with respect to single-family buildings the building coverage <br /> ratio, or 40%, would be applicable. <br /> Mr. McCoy clarified the proposed change was for Heavy Commercial and <br /> Industrial zoning districts which specifically allowed the types of uses that may <br /> benefit, such as warehouses, self-service storage and manufacturing, and once <br /> you got to the 40% of site coverage you could achieve the FAR by building a <br /> second storey; however that was not efficient for those types of uses. <br /> Discussion followed. <br /> PZC/Approved 3 April 23, 2015 138 <br /> ATTACHMENT 2 <br />
