Consider approval of a preliminary site plan approval for a 6-unit multi-family development  development located at 55 W 400 South, Brian Knowlton, applicant. located at 55V W 400 South, Brian Knowlton, applicant.  Brian Knowlton was present. Chad Wilkinson presented the staff report.  The applicant, Knowlton General, requests Conditional use permit and preliminary site plan approval for a 6 unit multifamily development located at 55 West 400 South. The property has been vacant for many years and is zoned DN (Downtown). The site is surrounded by single family residential use on the east and west, mixed use and commercial to the north, and commercial property to the south. The proposed development is located on a .25 acre (+10,890) s.f. property. There appears to be some discrepancy between the legal description for the property and the actual area available for building. Prior to submitting for final site plan, the applicant will need to identify actual dimensions of the buildable area of the lot based on a survey of the property. This issue will impact the proposed parking layout on the site. Based on an analysis of the building design, the building official has determined that a disabled person parking space is not required based on the applicable building code. However section 14-7-112 C9 requires that street-facing ground floor units be ADA accessible to provide for conversion to a future commercial use. Without the need for the accessible space, the proposal meets the parking standards of the Code including required covered parking and guest spaces with room to spare. Ifan accessible space is required, it will be necessary for more detailed property information to determine ift the lot can accommodate adequate parking for the development. The proposed building meets the required setback and height standards for the DN Zone. Because the building is located at least 200 feet from the 100 west right of way the maximum building height is 55  Bountiful City. Planning Commission Minutes - November 20, 2018  Page 1of4    feet. The proposed building is approximately 46 feet and four stories in height with one unit located on the ground floor and the remainder above. The applicant proposes building materials consisting of a mix of EIFS and brick. Color renderings of the buildings are attached to this report. It is recommended that some brick be added to the south façade as this area will be highly visible from 500 South. Thej proposed structure meets the required articulation standards oft the ordinance and complies with the maximum 2:1 height to width ratio requirements. Ground floor units have entrances facing The plan shows the minimum 10 percent oflandscape area and the additional landscaping required by Code for multifamily development; however, a detailed landscape plan will need to be submitted demonstrating compliance with the minimum requirements of the landscape code. A sidewalk is shown on the west side of the property running along the proposed parking area. The Code allows for sidewalks to occupy a total of 30 percent of the required landscape area. Based on the required landscape area the sidewalk will need to be reduced. Itis recommended that the sidewalk be pulled back to the south edge oft the building in order to comply with the applicable standard. Access to the site will be via a single driveway on 400 South. Water and sewer will be provided via connections to existing lines in 400 South. Storm water drainage design will need to be further refined prior to submittal for final site plan approval. The proposed retention system may not adequately dispose of storm water and additional information is required to determine adequate permeability of The applicant will need to demonstrate how storm water impacts to the site will be handled. Sidewalks will have to be repaired as part of the project.

Mr. Wilkinson stated that after the required survey is completed then the ADA parking will be worked thru and would be brought to the Planning Commission at final site plan approval.

The applicant, Bruce Broadhead, requests site plan approval for "Pad A" (shown now as Lot 9) oft the Renaissance Town Center Development. The plan was originally approved in April of2017 and a six month extension was granted In April of 2018. That extension has now expired and SO the site plan must be reapproved in order to move forward. The proposal still includes 40 units and retains the approximately 5,500 square feet of commercial space located on the street level originally approved. There have been no substantial changes to the Code in the intervening year and a half since the original approval.
