RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF SITE PLAN CASE NO. 18-16-SP Senior Planner Stephen Cook gave a brief description of the case. The developer intends to redevelop a former auto-related building into a retail building for lease. The site is located on the northeast corner of N. Main Street and Town Creek Drive. Originally developed as a service station, the building has been an auto repair shop for many decades. In an effort to bring the property into a retail environment, the property owner intends to renovate the site and building in the following manner. The building will be renovated by removing the canopy on the front of the building. The N. Main Street facing fagade will feature retail-style windows and door access. The garage bays will be removed on the Town Creek Drive facing fagade and will also be replaced with retail-style windows and door access. The masonry building will be repaired and repainted. A new roof accent surrounding the building will be constructed with a fiberboard material used throughout Glade Parks retail buildings which will be installed over the masonry building to provide color and a distinct sign area. Access will continue to be made from the primary drive approach from N. Main Street. The fencing will be removed and new parking will be placed on the north side of the building. A new masonry enclosure for the solid waste container will also be constructed. A new one-way drive approach will be constructed to the rear of the building to provide access to the solid waste container. Continued cross access will be maintained with the adjacent two properties. No landscaping currently exists between the street and building. The renovation of the site will include demolition of a significant portion of the existing concrete and asphalt, creating a new area to install new landscaping between the sidewalk areas of N. Main and Town Creek Drive and the front facades of the building. Trees and shrubs appropriate to the scale of the building and street yard will be installed. The property owner believes that the site will be more marketable to a long-term lease appropriate to the C-2 zoning district once renovation of the building is completed. The Development Services Group has reviewed the site plan and has certified that it meets City standards. Commissioner Ellis gave complements on the amazing look of the building. Vice Chairman Portugal also complemented on a wonderful use of the location and asked if the fence on the east side of property will be removed. Mr. Cook confirmed that the fencing will be removed. There were no further questions or comments presented by the Commission.
