Analysis: The zoning of the property is appropriate for a commercial development Section 5.02 of the Development Ordinance addresses the need for sidewalks, where required by the Comprehensive Plan or by the Commission. The City's Comprehensive Plan does not call for sidewalks along this portion of Fairmont Parkway and the Commission did not require a sidewalk for the recent development immediately east of this site. The Commission may not wish to require a sidewalk for this project Should the Commission require a sidewalk, the plat shall include a statement that a sidewalk installation, by the owner, is required. Detention is required for the development The plat shall include a statement the detention area shall be owned and maintained by the property owner. Water is not available to the site, however, the owner has submitted paperwork necessary for the preparation of a Utility Extension Agreement by staff.

Staff recommends Approval of Funcare — Fairmont Parkway Subdivision.
