DESIGN REVIEW CONCLUSIONS <br />Design Review Guidelines <br />Relationship of Structure to Site: <br />The proposed development has been designed to meet the functional requirements for this type of land use <br />while being responsive to the special characteristics of the site. The building is proportion to the property <br />size. The new building will meet all required setbacks. <br />Typically, the City encourages that parking be located in the rear of a site. However, given the odd shape <br />of this property, the uses for the front portion of the property are very limited and thus using this area for <br />parking is appropriate. <br />Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Areas: <br />The proposed building's form and scale is in keeping with the existing development in the area. The <br />buildings height and form is consistent with other development in the area. <br />Landscape and Site Treatment: <br />The applicant will install landscaping that meets the City's landscaping requirements within the <br />Commercial /Light Industrial Zone. The applicant will install a significant amount of perimeter <br />landscaping and interior landscaping. All landscaped areas will have automatic irrigation and the <br />applicant will be required to maintain the landscaping for the life of the project (TMC 8.28.180). <br />Building Design: <br />The proposed building is of comparable scale with buildings in the neighborhood and has been painted <br />with colors that will make it harmonious with adjacent buildings and the hillside behind the building. The <br />design is appropriate for the light industrial nature of the area. <br />Miscellaneous Structure and Street Furniture: <br />Given that the rear portion of the site will be utilized for storage it is appropriate to secure the area with <br />fencing. However, the fence needs to comply with the requirement to place the fence on the interior side <br />of the required landscaping. Parameters should also be placed to ensure that the fences do not hinder the <br />ability to maintain the landscaped areas. This can be accomplished by placing gates along the fence line. <br />The fence along Macadam Road should also be dark green. <br />Bicycle parking is required for the proposed building, but is not shown on the site plan. <br />Page 11 of 12 <br />13 <br />
