Staff Discussion
Mr. Molina approached the Commissioners, stating that the applicant is proposing to develop a 9,133
square foot office/retail building on 0.631 acres. The site is located on a vacant lot which is part of an
existing retail center that contains a 25 foot mutual access easement with main access from State Highway
78.
The proposed site plan provides 26 parking spaces with two of them being ADA accessible. The
landscaped area totals 21.6 percent and provides most of the landscaping to the rear of the building. The
applicant is requesting for the allowance of 14 parking spaces on the west side of the lot in lieu of the
normally allowed 12 spaces per row without a landscape island.
Board Discussion
Chair Plunk asked for clarification of the type of use. Staff responded that the use would be multiple
tenants for office/retail. Due to the parking ratio more intense uses such as a restaurant or commercial
amusement would be a challenge.
Commissioner Newsom questioned the trash storage and the Commissioners discussed in length the
health, safety and sanitation of a trash dumpster versus rollout bins. Staff responded that trash storage is
not required and the site plan meets technical requirements.. After additional discussion, staff reminded
the Commissioners of approving a Site Plan with conditions and the Commissioners agreed to
conditionally approve the site plan, with the intention of removing the trash dumpster, based upon the
