Title
Resolution to Approve Speedway Site Plan, 1300 North Maple Road (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 6 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Memorandum
Attached is a resolution to approve the Speedway Site Plan. Approval of this resolution will allow for the construction of a new 3,968 square foot single-story gas station and convenience store.
Petition Summary:
· The site plan proposes demolition of a vacant service station building and construction of a 3,968 square foot, single-story gas station and convenience store.
· The site will contain 5 gasoline pumps capable of servicing 10 vehicles. The pumps will be covered by a 28 foot by 121 foot canopy. There will be two curb cuts (one on Maple and one on Miller) and a total of 14 vehicle parking spaces provided, in addition to 12 bicycle parking spaces.
· Planning Commission approved a Landscape Modification request to allow the petitioner to count existing vegetation along the eastern property line as part of the required conflicting land use buffer.
· There is an existing five-foot wide pedestrian path that runs along the eastern and northern sides of the site. The path is located within a 30 foot wide dedicated public easement, which is zoned PL (Public Land). Since the easement area is not owned by the City, Planning staff initiated a rezoning of this easement area from PL to C3 (Fringe Commercial), which is consistent with the remainder of the site. The easement for public access will remain. The rezoning action is being considered separately from the Speedway site plan and is not required for approval of the site plan.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of July 17, 2012, recommended approval of this request.
