Home Porte Storage SCU04-006 Page 3 of4 Conclusion: e e At present, the area sheet flows from northwest to southeast. The development requires on-site detention with the planned outfall currently in the South 16th Street right-of-way to the south. Open SpaceIPedestrian Plan - The City's open space/pedestrian plan promotes a north-south pedestrian way thru the proposed Texas ImportlExport Park and to this area via South 13th Street ROW to "K" Street. The property abuts commercial uses along Fairmont Parkway to the north across West K Street, South 15th Street on the west, and South 12th Street on the east. This is the most public face of the tract. Staff suggests that a substantial portion of the facility's landscaping should be placed adjacent to these streets. If approved, architectural standards coupled with the proposed landscaping and setbacks should result in a facility that is attractive and compatible with surrounding properties. The project as presented depends on the closure of South 14th and 15th Streets between West "K" and "L" Streets. For a variety of reasons presented here, staff would not recommend the closure of South 13th Street and propose that the developer improve South 13th Street to and through of his property. In addition, the applicant has presented some rendering containing architectural standards to provide compatibility with the surrounding commercial activities. The specific use will not adversely impact the other properties nor significantly diminish or impair property values within the immediate vicinity. Based on the facts and considerations presented above, staff recommends approval of Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU04-006 with the following conditions: . The developer will work with the City to address the drainage corridor and realignment ofS. 12th Street right-of-way. . Check the feasibility of locating detention basin close to the future drainage channel. . Additional landscaping shall be required along K Street right-of-way. . South 13th Street should be extended to and through of the proposed development. · Utility extension or paved area over drainage corridor/easement will be the responsibility of the owner/developer. . Enhance the building fa~ade so that it blends with the existing commercial to be architecturally and aesthetically pleasing. . Rendering of the building fa~ade shall be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission for final approval of the site plan. . The applicant shall file an application with the City to close alleys and streets in Block 1135, 1136, and 1137. If successful, the property be formally replatted.
