� PrimarY Issues to Consider
• What is the zoning of the property, and how has the Comprehensive Plan
designated the subject site?
The zoning of the property is B-3, General Business. The Comprehensive Plan has designated
this site as Commercial. The zoning and Comprehensive Plan are consistent.
• What are the specifics of the redevelopment?
Exterior
The exterior will consist of rock face CMU, precast stone, and brick EPS finished at cornice with
decorative inserts and reveals. The majority of the building will be a brick veneer. The west
side of the building abutting the residential area will be primarily concrete block
Parking/Access
The access to the parking area will be from Shady Oak Road and the alley. There are 28 parking
spaces on site. The site is required to have 32 parking spaces. Eight parking spaces on the east
side of the site will be for compact vehicles. Access to the building will be from Shady Oak
Road and the parking lot. The number of parking spaces will be addressed the PUD agreement.
�
Landscaping
The site is required to have 13 plantings. The site has four plantings of the required size and two
not of the required size. In addition to the required plantings, the Shady Oak Road side of the
building will be planted with feather reed grass and a black wrought iron fence with five foot
high brick piers. The plantings will have a base of either crushed limestone mulch or sod. The
seven additional plantings will be addressed in the PUD agreement.
Lighting
The building will have exterior light fixtures, and the parking area will have four lights. A
lighting plan was submitted and is acceptable.
Engineering/Public Works
The City Engineer has reviewed the preliminary plans and found them acceptable.
Sidewalk
A concrete sidewalk along Shady Oak Road will be added with the reconstruction of Shady Oak
Road.
�
SPR13-2
Page 3
Signage
There are areas on the building for signage; any signage will require permitting. �
Fire Marshal
The fire marshal has reviewed the plans and found them acceptable.
Loading dock
There will be a loading dock on the west side of the building.
Setbacks
The following are the required and actual setbacks and height requirements:
B-3 Actual
Front yard 1 foot 1.5 feet
West side yard 8 feet 0 feet
East side yard 10 feet 3.5 feet
Rear yard 15 feet 47 feet
Maximum building height 60 feet 19 feet
�
Although the west side yard setback does not meet the setback requirements because the building
abuts a residential area, there will be very limited activity to the west because that is the rear of
the building.
Trash
The trash enclosure will be located on the northwest side of the site. The enclosure meets the
requirements of the ordinance.
Surrounding Uses
The site is surrounded by residential to the west and commercial to the north, south and east.
• What is the applicant's time line?
The applicant is planning to start construction as soon as possible.
Alternatives
1. Recommend approval of the site plan to construct a new building. By recommending
approval of the site plan, the City Council will consider a recommendation of approval.
�
SPR13-2

�
2. Recommend denial of the site plan to construct a new building. By recommending denial of
the site plan, the City Council will consider a recommendation of denial. If the Planning
Commission considers this alternative, findings will have to be identified that support this
alternative.
3. Continue for further information. If the Planning Commission indicates that further
information is needed, the item should be continued.

approval of Ordinance 13-1067, placin� an overla z�ning of Planned Unit Development (PUD)
for the redevelopment of the northwest corner of Shady Oak Road and Bradford Road.
Overview
With the reconstruction of Shady Oak Road, Dan Dorholt is proposing to construct a new
building on the corner of Bradford and Shady Oak Roads. Currently, Leaman's Liquor,Nelson's
Meats, Bakery and Deli and Syndicate Sales are the businesses in this location. Leaman's

Primarv Issues to Consider
• What is the underlying zoning of the property, and how has the Comprehensive
Plan designated the subject site?
The property is rezoned B-3, General Business. For this development to occur as proposed the
property will have a PUD overlay; this would allow flexibility in site development. The
Comprehensive Plan has designated this site as Commercial.
• Why place an overlay zone of PUD on this property?
The Planned Unit Development allows a site-specific development with the underlying zoning
remaining. This type of development allows for a departure from the strict application of the
zoning standards. The applicant and the City enter into an agreement defining the specific
allowed uses and performance standards for each PUD, and these are delineated in the
agreement. In this case the underlying zoning of B-3, General Business, will remain. In the
proposed development, the side yards setbacks are less than the required, there are fewer parking
spaces than required and the required landscaping is not present.
• What are the areas that would be included in the overlay zone?
� The entire site will be included in the overlay zone.
Alternatives
1. Recommend approval of the overlay zoning of PUD. By recommending approval, the
City Council will consider a recommendation of approval.
2. Recommend denial of the overlay zoning of PUD. By recommending denial, the City
Council will consider a recommendation of denial. If the overlay zoning is not approved,
the existing zoning will remain and any redevelopment of these sites will have to be
consistent with the existing zoning.
3. Continue for further information. If the Planning Commission indicates that further
information is needed, the item should be continued.
