Page 3 of 5 Cal.No. 18-19 June 7, 2018 reasonable in this instance. Though in the R-3 District,the public-utility facility may continue legally at this location as a Conditional Use as it has been for many years. Likewise along the west property limits, abutting an undeveloped tract of land in the R-3 Residence District, a minimum buffer yard of 15 feet with dense landscaping would be reasonable, taking into account minimal impact the proposed drive aisle will bring. 2. Effect on area. The proposed development will increase traffic to the area when changing from a single family residential use to a commercial use, however, the amount of traffic impact that is expected to be generated is not expected to greatly impact the surrounding traffic. The presence of a median on Mound Road will prohibit left turns from and to the site. Some traffic may try to make U-turn's or cut through parking lots or residential areas to get to and from the site.The proposed development will be designed to provide adequate landscaping and screening along the buffer areas next to the residentially-zoned properties. The fagade of the proposed development will consist of a mix of brick and stone. 3. Consistency with comprehensive plan. The proposed development is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as it currently calls for Residential Low-Density. However, the site is located on a major corridor directly across from a major commercial center development across West Mound Road, and abuts non-residential uses on the east and north sides. 4. Traffic capacity. The City received traffic generation numbers and the increase of traffic shown to the City will is not expected to exceed the capacity of Mound Road or the adjacent intersections. 5. Adequacy of utilities. Most of the storm water runoff currently drains to the north.The proposed plans show storm water draining to the south towards Mound Road. It is unknown if the storm sewer along Mound Road has the capacity to take in any additional storm water. More study will be needed to determine the best location to carry the storm water runoff.The public sanitary sewer will have to be relocated in a new permanent easement to allow for the buildings to be constructed at the proposed location. 6. Integration. The proposed individual developments will be developed in accordance with an overall design plan for the site. 7. Adequacy of parking facilities. The required number of parking spaces is 83; 100 spaces have been provided on site, so the minimum parking requirement has been exceeded. The preliminary PD plan has been reviewed and approved by the City's Technical Review Committee, Planning, Engineering and Fire.
