The development is proposed for a .62 acre tract zoned I-1 (light industrial) that is located on the north side of S. Pipeline Road, east of Raider Drive. Bacarat Court is located to the north/northwest and is zoned TX-10. Specifically, the applicant intends to construct a 5,985 square foot building, with 2,000 square feet of office and 3,985 square feet of warehouse. No outdoor storage or display shall occur on site. Access to the site is provided from S. Pipeline Road. Funds will be placed in escrow for the required 74.50 linear feet of sidewalk along Pipeline Road. The building will be constructed of 100% masonry, using split faced cmu block, and featuring a metal roof. A 16" band of smooth faced cmu blocks in a contrasting color will be incorporated midway in the elevation, with the same smooth faced cmu block used to frame the corners of the south elevation. All site development standards, including landscaping, parking, and lighting have been satisfied. The site represented challenges regarding drainage, but those too have been satisfied as well. The applicant is requesting no variances from any of the 1-1 light Industrial district development standards. — Chairman McNeese asked if there would be multiple work trucks stored at this location.

Mike Collins, Director of Planning and Development, gave a brief description of the case. The applicant, Redifun Simulation, Inc. (RSI) represented by Neil Wheatley, is seeking approval of a Site Plan for an addition to an existing 17,570 square foot commercial building that was built Page 2 of 3 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes December 2, 2008 originally for Krispy Kreme in 2000. RSI purchased the property and was issued a Certificate of Occupancy to occupy the existing building on July 25, 2006. Due to the success that the business has experienced, the owner has proposed to add on to the existing structure. The property is zoned 1-2 Heavy Industrial. Specifically, the applicant intends to construct a 7,935 square foot single story addition, with new 6" pavement to be constructed between the existing hammer head fire lane and the new building. The new space would include predominantly open warehouse space to be used to assemble and store flight simulation models. The addition is designed to match the architecture of the existing structure and will be 100% masonry construction through the use of true stucco, and featuring a metal roof. The new structure does not trigger requirements for additional landscaping, parking, or lighting. As is depicted on the Sheet 1 of the Site Plan exhibit, the hammer head fire lane will be extended southward to the south property line. The pavement is already constructed to satisfy fire lane standards. The current plat will be modified to reflect the fire lane extension. Current ingress/egress will be maintained.
