Excerpts from Plan Commission Meeting of March 3, 2016 continued: <br /> 3. Design and amenities. The proposed development is designed to meet the standards of <br /> landscaping as required by the Zoning Ordinance including alternative compliance. The <br /> fa�ade of the proposed mixed use structure will consist of stone, brick and aluminum. <br /> 4. Consistency with comprehensive plan. The proposed development is not consistent with the <br /> Comprehensive Plan as it currently calls for Residential Low-Density. The site is located <br /> along the Pershing Road corridor at a signaled intersection adjacent to considerable <br /> commercial development and where all other corners are developed with office, retail and <br /> restaurant uses. <br /> S. Traffic capacity. According to Staff's review of the traffic, the intersections of West <br /> Pershing Road and North MacArthur Road currently have adequate capacity to <br /> accommodate the traffic generated by the mixed use development. <br /> 6. Adequacy of utilities. Proposed utilities and infrastructure will be adequate to serve the <br /> proposed land uses. <br /> 7. Integration. The proposed development will be developed in accordance with an overall <br /> design plan. <br /> 8. Adequacy of parking facilities. The required number of parking spaces is 73 as it is <br /> currently designed with the proposed uses and current floor plan. The parking lot has <br /> reduced front yard setbacks along West Pershing Road and North MacArthur Road, the <br /> petitioner is utilizing alternative compliance to have the reduced front yard setbacks for the <br /> parking lot. The petitioner has provided the required 120% of landscaping points to allow <br /> for the reduced setbacks. <br /> The PD plan has been reviewed and approved by the City's Technical Review Committee, <br /> Planning, Engineering and Fire. <br /> Based on the analysis, staff recommends approval of the proposed PD Planned Development <br /> petition with the following conditions: <br /> 1. The Planned Development may only permit medical office uses, professional office uses, <br /> retail uses and restaurant uses. These uses are only permitted provided that all parking <br /> requirements are met based on the uses at any given time. <br /> 2. A one (1) lot subdivision plat will be required to be submitted, approved and recorded prior <br /> to a formal site plan being approved. <br /> 3. A striping plan for North MacArthur Road for the redesigned left turn lane made necessary <br /> by the removal of the barrier median will have to be approved by the Public Works <br /> Department prior to the site plan being approved. The striping plan will show how the <br /> removed barrier median will be replaced. <br /> 4. Final site, landscaping and lighting plans shall be submitted to and approved by the <br /> Department of Planning and Building Services, Public Works Department and the Fire <br /> Department prior to building permits being released. <br /> Section XIX.G.2. of the City of Decatur Zoning Ordinance requires the Plan Commission to hold a <br /> public hearing to review the Planned Development plan and report its findings concerning the effect <br /> on the comprehensive plan and compliance with the standards of review to the City Council. A <br /> motion to forward Calendar Number 16-03 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval <br /> is suggested. <br /> Mr. Jack Myatt asked if the entrance on MacArthur Road would allow for vehicles to enter and exit <br /> from both left and right. Ms. Stickle stated that is correct, however, the Pershing Road entrance <br /> would be right in and right out only. <br />
