E. DISCUSSION: • The landscape plan shows the parking lot area southeast of the building and adjacent to a public right of way. Eagle City Code Section 8 -2A -7(K)(2) requires a parking lot landscape strip be provided when a parking lot is located adjacent to a public right of way. Although landscaping is proposed adjacent to the parking lot, it does not comply with Eagle City Code Section 8 -2A - 7(K)(2). The four options available are: a. Provide a ten foot (10') wide landscaped strip between the right of way and the parking lot, and plant with a minimum of one shade tree and ten (10) shrubs per thirty-five (35) linear feet of frontage, excluding driveway openings. b. Provide an earth berm of thirty inches (30") minimum height (do not exceed 3:1 slope) within a ten foot (10') wide landscaped strip between the right of way and the parking lot, and plant with a Page 10 of 17 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications \Dr\2017\DR-15-17 Multi -tenant Office Bldg in Deuce Sub drf.docx minimum of one shade tree and five (5) shrubs per thirty-five (35) linear feet of frontage, excluding driveway openings. c. Provide a six-foot (6') landscaped strip with a minimum thirty inch (30") grade drop from the right of way to the parking lot, and plant with a minimum of one shade tree and five (5) shrubs per thirty five (35) linear feet of frontage, excluding driveway openings. d. Provide a three foot (3') high fence of wood, brick, stone, or decorative block or concrete along with a four foot (4') wide landscaped strip between the right of way and the parking lot, and plant a minimum of one shade tree and five (5) shrubs per thirty-five (35) linear feet of frontage, excluding driveway openings. (1) The board may waive the requirement for a wood, brick, stone, decorative block or concrete fence if the board finds the following: (A) The applicant must design, document, and obtain city approval representing that the overall planting design, at the time of planting, results in an effective barrier such that the landscape strip shields the view of parked cars from passing pedestrians and motorists; and (B) Any such proposed design alternative is compatible with the overall site design of the entire project and is compatible with the surrounding area. The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan that shows the required landscaping per one of the four options available within Eagle City Code 8-2A-7(K)(2)(a-d) for the 170 -linear feet of parking area located southeast of the building and adjacent to the East Riverside Drive. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff and two members of the Design Review Board prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate. • The landscape plan shows an additional 19 -parking spaces to be constructed with this application. The plan shows one terminal island for a single row of parking spaces along the south property line that does not have a tree located within it. Eagle City Code Section 8 -2A -7(K)(4) requires a terminal island for a single row of parking spaces to be landscape with at least one tree and shrubs, ground cover, or grass. The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing the addition of a tree located within the terminal island located along the south property line. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff and one member of the Design Review Board prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate. • The landscape plan identifies the location of proposed site lighting, however, the applicant did not provide the location of any building wall lighting or a detailed cut sheet of the building and site lighting. The applicant should be required to provide revised building elevations showing the location of all building lighting and detailed cut sheets of all building and site lighting identifying the style, material, color, illumination type, lumen output, height, etc, for review and approval by staff prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate. • The landscape plan identifies the location of two (2) bicycle racks. Eagle City Code Section 8-4-4- 6 requires one bicycle rack for every thirty (30) parking spaces in a commercial development. The site requires seventy (70) parking spaces, therefore, three (3) bicycle racks are required. The landscape plan also shows a detail of the bicycle racks but does not identify the height or color. The applicant should provide a revised landscape plan showing the location of an additional bicycle rack, for a total of three (3) bicycle racks. Detailed cut sheets showing the height and color should be submitted. The revised landscape plan and detailed cut sheets should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate. • The landscape plan identifies the construction of the three lots (Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 1, within Deuce Subdivision) to be completed in two phases. Phase one will consist of a medical office building located on Lot 1, Block 1, 92 -parking spaces including 15 -shared parking spaces located Page 11 of 17 KAPlanning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dti2017\DR-15-17 Multi -tenant Office Bldg in Deuce Sub drf:docx on Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, required within the preliminary plat approval, full drive aisles located on Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 1, site, landscaping on Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, and a trash enclosure located on Lot 2, Block 1. Phase two will include the building associated with this application, 19 -additional parking spaces, additional interior landscaping on Lot 3, Block 1, and site landscaping located on Lots 2 and 3, Block 1. Phase one previously received design review approval and is currently under construction (DR -47-16). The applicant should be required to construct full drive aisles, construct the trash enclosure, and install all previously approved landscaping for Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, in compliance with all conditions of DR -47-16 prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. • Staff defers comment regarding building design and colors to the Design Review Board.
