PROJECT DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
The project site consists of the souther- 12-acres of the 21-acre parcel. The building would be situated on the south
end of the site with the majority of the parking located on the north side of the structure. The northern portion of the
property would remain undisturoed.
The proposed structure would be 42 feet in height with split face concrete masonry units and an exterior insulating
finish system. Parking and utility improvements are also proposed, including resurfacing of the existing asphalt areas
for the creation of 756 parking stalls. The majority of the spaces would be distributed on the north side of the building,
with a small portion to be located on the south side. A loading area would a;so be located on the south side of the
building and would include the appropriate back out distance as required by code (100 feet). In addition, a 13-foot tilt -
up concrete dock screen wall painted to match the building's exterior would provide adequate screening for the
loading area.
The proposal includes the installation of associated landscape areas around the perimeter of the site, as well as within
the interior of the parking area. proposed plantings include a mixture of native trees, shrubs and ground covers.
Pedestrian pathways. wnich would connect to the entrance of the building, are provided throughout the parking area
and along the perimeter of the building. Lighting is also provided throughout the site.
Access to the development would oe provided by three driveways — two off of Garden Avenue North (one on the north
and one on the south ends of the site) and one off of North 8' Street (on the east side, aligning with the existing
Paccar driveway). The vehicle circulation layout within the parking lot includes traffic control devicas, such as stop
signs and speed bumps. The northern 9 acres of the parcel, which would remain undweloped, would be separated
from the project site by a curb constructed as part of the parking area improvements.
The project would require minimal excavation for the construction of the building foundation. Project construction is
anticipated to begin in June of 2001 and would be completed by November 2001- Staffs review of the project's
compliance with the iH development standards and parking requirements is addressed in the Advisory Notes section
of this report.
