Title
CONSIDERATION OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR ANDES ADDITION, INCLUDING A PART OF LOT ONE, BLOCK ONE, PB ADDITION, AND WAIVER OF ALLEY REQUIREMENTS. (GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF FLOOD AVENUE MIDWAY BETWEEN MOSIER STREET AND HIMES STREET)
body
BACKGROUND: This item is a preliminary plat for Andes Addition and is generally located on the west side of Flood Avenue approximately 685' south West Robinson Street. This property consists of 0.57 acres and one (1) commercial lot. City Council, at its meeting of October 26, 1954, adopted Ordinance No. 899 annexing and placing this property in the C-2, General Commercial District. Planning Commission, at its meeting of September 12, 2013, recommended approval of the preliminary plat for Andes Addition with alley waiver.
DISCUSSION:This parcel is currently developed including a commercial building and parking lot. The proposed plat will add 8,910 square feet of open space along the west side of the property. This area will remain undeveloped; however, the owner may store equipment on this portion of the property.
The proposed development will include the renovation of an existing 7,000 square foot building along the west side of Flood Avenue between Mosier Street and Himes Street. The use will be office/warehouse space. As such, this addition is expected to generate 174 trips per day and 40 PM peak hour trips. As such, the trip generation potential for this development is well below the threshold for when a traffic impact study is required. Traffic capacities on nearby arterial roadways exceed the demand for existing and proposed trips as a result of this development. No negative traffic impacts are anticipated. See Attachment A.
Access to the proposed development will be from a single driveway located on the west side of Flood Avenue at the location of an existing driveway. The development of this tract will eliminate the open frontage along Flood Avenue on either side of this driveway.
