SPA Precise Plan and Design Review
Continued from 9/17/85 Regular Meeting
Public Hearing
INTRODUCTION:
This application is for the approval of a Precise Plan for an automobile service
station with car wash, convenience store and office space. The proposed plan
was reviewed by the Commission on August 29, 1985 and again on September 17, 1985.
Public hearings were conducted at both meetings and the project was recommended
for approval at the September 17 meeting.
It has since been brought to our attention that the list of property owners
requiring notification of public hearing was incomplete. Consequently, the
public hearing must be reopened for further public input and then the previous
action of the Commission must be reconfirmed or modified as appropriate, based
upon input received at the public hearing.
The property owners not notified previously have been notified as required for
this public hearing.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The previous recommendation for approval included site plan, building design,
colors and materials to be used. Landscape plan and signage were excluded from
the approval. Additional or revised information has not been submitted for
either of these items.
Initial discussion with owners of property across the river from the project
indicates they are concerned with the appearance of the project from their
property. The service bays and gas pumps would be facing their property. Some
concern has also been expressed with regard to the size and height of the building.
Possibly some of these concerns could be addressed by the addition of a 6' to 8'
high wood fence along the notherly edge of the parking lot and driveway.
Ordinance 85-18 has been drafted based upon previous action of the Commission.
If at the conclusion of the Public Hearing the Commission desires to reconfirm
previous action, this could be accomplished by recommending Council approve
Ordinance 85-18. If modifications to the previous action is desired, this
possibly could be accomplished with a recommendation for specific modifications
to Ordinance 85-18.

Development Right from Unassigned Unit Pool)
Public Hearing
INTRODUCTION:
This application `s for a Special Review Use to transfer one Residential Develop-
ment Right from the Benchmark at Beaver Creek unassigned unit pool to commercial
condominium Unit 401 of Buck Creek Plaza Condominiums. Unit 401 has a total floor
area of 1,122 square feet. As office space, Unit 401 would have a parking require-
ment of 4 spaces. As a residential unit, parking requirements would be 2 spaces.
Buck Creek Plaza Condominiums is located in the SC (Shopping Center) Zone District.

average density in the SC Zone District would be 1.66 units per acre with the

contains 5 Residential Development Rights. With this transfer, the unassigned
unit pool would contain 4 Residential Development Rights, and Buck Creek Plaza

density of 7 Residential Development Rights.

conversion of the proposed unit from office space to a residential unit would
reduce parking requirements for the project. One of the Goals for Development
District One is to "Permit the inclusion of lodging or residential uses within
commercial development, ...".
