Council Minutes of 6-19-2018 amendment rights. The committee voted 3-0 to recommend to Council with suspension. The Building, Zoning & Development Committee also met tonight, Tuesday, June 19, 2018 at 6:45 p.m. Present were committee members Williamson, Limpert and Schumann; Council members Brossard, Glassburn and Hemann; Mayor Kennedy, Director of Planning & Development Lieber, applicants and guests. Discussed first was CMS 18-11091 Office Warehouse located at 31314-31526 Lorain Road. This proposal involved constructing a new 11,550 square foot office warehouse facility in the B-2 Office/Service District on a consolidated lot with an existing commercial building. The new building will be constructed on the site of two former residences, purchased and demolished by the applicant. The building will accommodate three tenants with office space, storage and docking. No new curb cuts are proposed. Stormwater will be managed in a basin at the rear of the property. Landscaping is proposed along the street lawn and adjacent to the new building. Plantings have been extended along the frontage of the existing building to match. Lighting is provided by two site lights in the front yard, recessed canopy lights and wall packs mounted to the building. Illumination levels are within code limits. One new ground sign is proposed, which will require a variance for more than one ground sign on a lot. Councilwoman Williamson made a motion to approve CMS 18-11091 with the recommendations of the Building and Zoning Board of Appeals. The motion was seconded by Councilman Limpert and passed unanimously. CMS 18-11091 approved by a vote of 7-0. Discussed next was CMS 18-10741 Blue Falls Car Wash located at 23570 Lorain Road. The applicant proposed to demolish an existing self -serve wash and residence on contiguous commercial lots to construct a new car wash facility on Lorain Road at Gessner Road. The project meets all building material, landscaping and lighting code requirements. The BZBA granted variances for building height and signage. Significant landscaping will be added to the street frontages, around the building and buffering adjacent residential property. The project preserves green space at the rear of the property and incorporates improved stormwater management into the design. Because car wash facilities are a conditional use in the B-1 District, the project was subject to various specific conditional use standards, two of which the committee proposes to waive. Councilwoman Williamson made a motion to approve the conditional use permit and development plan for CMS 18-10741 Blue Falls with the following recommendations: to waive the 125 linear foot required separation between driveways; waive the 100 foot required setback of buildings and uses from the residential district boundary; and allow the doors of the facility to be located at the front and rear of the facility as shown on the design plans and require lot consolidation. The motion was seconded by Councilman Schumann and passed unanimously. CMS 18-10741 approved by a vote of 7-0. Councilman Schumann Chairman of the Finance Committee: 4
