(Note...staff comments are italicized below)
The proposed use shall meet the purpose and intent of this UDO and the use shall meet
the all the minimum standards established in the ordinance for the type of use. The
current parking arrangement is not satisfactory. The proposed site plan shows that
garage spaces and the spaces in the front of the garages area being counted to satisfy the
minimum parking requirement. Areas have been designated on the site plan as areas that
are appropriate to establish required parking. To alleviate this condition, at least 90
P&Z Minutes Regular Agenda August 4, 2005 Page 1 of 2
parking spaces should be created, and distributed throughout the site. The applicant
intends to seek a waiver to parking space requirements as provided in Section 7.2.H.9 if
the development meets the goals of the master plan for WPC.
The proposed use shall be consistent with the development policies and goals and
objectives as embodied in the Comprehensive Plan for Development of the City.
Through the WPC Master Plan Update and the UDO, the land uses in this district should
consist of mixed uses versus single use parcels. One of the intents for the significant
municipal investment has been to create focal points for the district and attract residents
and visitors, and as a result, a "captive market" for •it sales and service
establishments to thrive off Texas Avenue.
The proposed use shall not be detrimental to the alt -lfare, or safety of the
surrounding neighborhood or its occupants, nor be su. ,antial .ermanently injurious
to neighboring property. The public hearing i ••••rtunity e Commission to
measure the potential impact on surrounding d uses.
The proposed site plan and circulation pl.n se h. ious with the e acter of the
surrounding area. Specific requirements are e • d i Section 5.6 of the UDO to
address the relationship of buildings to the site • • 1 as the relationship of buildings
and the site to adjoining areas.
The proposed use shall not negati "•ly existing IP n the area or in the City
