ITEM 2. APPROVED FINAL PLAT CASE NO. 21-07-SP
Stephen Cook gave a brief description of the case. McCormick Law Firm occupies the
existing building at 400 S. Industrial Boulevard and is seeking site plan approval to
develop the adjacent tot to the west as additional parking for their law firm. The additional
property is zoned the same as their office building and has been zoned Community
Business District since 1963.
Their intention is to construct a connected parking lot which would increase the available
parking from seventy-two (72) spaces to one hundred seventeen (117) in total for the
business.
Access to the site will be made through two existing drive approaches and a new
approach from Signet Drive opposite Lois Lane.
Landscaping will be installed within the site. Six (6) of the larger trees on the site to be
development will be preserved. A masonry wall exists on the southern portion of the site
adjacent to the residential uses. A new six (6) foot masonry wall will be constructed on the
western boundary in the same location where the adjacent property owner's privacy fence is
located. A new landscape buffer as required by the Unified Development Code, will be planted
adjacent to these walls.
The Development Services Group has reviewed the site plan and has certified that it meets
City standards.
Vice Chairman Portugal inquired if adding additional concrete would affect the drainage
for the property.
Mr. Cook stated that all the drainage will be contained within the site and that a drainage
plan has been submitted and approved by our Engineering Department.
