The conceptual plan is not of sufficient detail at this point for staff to review. However, staff recommends that consideration be given to limiting access of this lot only to 16t" Street to prevent cut -through traffic in the residential neighborhood to the east. The applicant will need to comply with all driveway design criteria outlined in Section 106-835. Proximity to Residential: The proposed site is located in close proximity to R-2, Medium Density Residential, zoned property. Although not adjacent, the site is located across a 16-foot alley from an existing single family house at 402 S. 15t" Street. The city's Code of Ordinances requires that development of commercially zoned properties adjacent to residential must provide a screening buffer. Section 106-444(a)(1) outlines the city's screening requirements. Should this SCUP be approved, staff recommends that consideration be given to a condition that would require screening in accordance with the provisions of the city's screening requirements, which includes a solid wood, masonry or vinyl fence with tree plantings at 20' on center. Covered Parking Awning. The proposed covered awning will need to be located on the property so as to comply with all applicable setbacks and height limitations as outlined in Section 106-741(b). The code allows for a maximum height of 15 feet for accessory structures. Additionally all accessory structures are required to be at least 3 feet from any property line. Parking Lot Surface. The city code requires that parking surfaces be of a dust -free material. Staff has included a condition to the SCUP requiring the surface to be either asphalt or concrete. Further, the surface must be maintained in good condition and repaired as necessary in the future. Drainage. Drainage will be accommodated on site in accordance with all applicable standards and reviewed at the time of submittal of the site development plan. Conclusion: Section 106-217 of the Code of Ordinances outlines specific conditions for approval of SCUP applications. There are three different conditions that must be met in order to approve a SCUP. The following table identifies each of the three conditions and staff's finding on each:
