Title
Resolution to Approve the Plum Market Site Plan, 3601 Plymouth Road (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 7 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Memorandum
Approval of this resolution will allow for the construction of an addition to the existing education building and convert the use into a grocery store.
* This site plan is associated with the Plum Market rezoning, which proposes to rezone this 2.96 acre parcel from PUD (Planned Unit Development) to C3 (Fringe Commercial).
* The site plan proposes construction of a 4,639 sf one-story addition to the north side of the building and an outdoor patio on the south side, to be constructed in one phase. The existing parking lot will be reconfigured while retaining the same 82 parking spaces. New pedestrian connections from the south and east are also proposed.
* The petitioner addressed issues about traffic raised by Planning Commission by submitting documentation of the crash history for the site. The analysis was requested by Project Management to determine if there is a left-turning crash issue at this intersection. A review of crashes within 1,000 feet of the Green Road and Plymouth Road intersection between the years of 2009-2013 found only one crash occurred at the proposed Plum Market driveway and Plymouth Road in that timeframe. The Traffic Engineer concluded there should be adequate queuing for vehicles entering this drive based on the information provided by the neighboring proposal's traffic impact analysis and the assumption that this intersection will function similarly.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of November 18, 2014, recommended approval of this request.
