Ninety-three parking spaces will be provided which meets the requirements of the Zoning <br /> Ordinance. <br /> 5. One freestanding monument sign is proposed for the development and will be built in <br /> accordance with the submitted sign drawings. <br /> 6. The Comprehensive Plan shows the area as Light Industrial or Planned Commercial <br /> Development; however, the R-6 Multiple Dwelling District is compatible with the adjacent <br /> uses in the area. <br /> 7. The Zoning Ordinance requires an increased setback of one (1) foot over the required setback <br /> for every one (1) foot the building height exceeds 35 feet. The required setback is 40 feet <br /> from the front property line. The petitioner is requesting to reduce the front yard setback to <br /> 35 feet. Based on the removal of the drive north of South Main Street and the increased <br /> green space, staff is comfortable with the requested front yard setback. The plan meets the <br /> requirements for the side and rear yard setbacks. <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> 1.
