The owner is requesting the construction of a new 25,000 square foot trampoline park and fun zone to be located along Tanner Drive just south of Shoshone Avenue and Buffalo Ridge Elementary School and north of Southern Drive and the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church.  The facility will be addressed as 4901 Tanner Drive.

The property, known as Tract B4 of the Legacy Pointe Subdivision, is 3.07 acres and was recently subdivided and zoned as C-1, General Commercial in May of this year. The adjacent property to the south is also zoned as C-1, General Commercial while all other surrounding property to the north and east is zoned as R-4, Multi Family Residential. On the west side the lot has frontage on Tanner Drive, a public, City-maintained road. All utilities are available and adjacent to the lot, including water, sewer, and electric, all from Tanner Drive.

The overall size of the building is around 25,000 square feet and will contain two floors consisting of a trampoline park, arcade area, laser tag area, party rooms and more. The proposed building is less than 30 (thirty) feet in height and is under the maximum height allowed in the C-1, General Commercial District which is 45 (forty-five) feet. Based on the square footage and use of the building, the developer has proposed sufficient parking; they are providing 119 (one hundred nineteen) parking spaces, of which 6 (six) of those will be handicap spaces.  The size of the building also requires 2 (two) loading zones. However, due to the use of the structure, the Planning Division has given the applicant permission to construct only one loading zone, which has been accounted for on the plan.  The size of the lot and parking layout contains sufficient space for trucks to enter the site and turn around to exit the site without causing any safety concerns.

Significant landscaping for the lot has been proposed on the west side of the property along Tanner Drive, to the north of the property which is zoned as R-4, Multi Family Residential, and on the east side of the property which is also zoned as R-4, Multi Family Residential. The proposed Landscape Plan provides a total of 50 (fifty) trees, which is over the required minimum, with most of the trees being placed to the north and the east for screening purposes where the lot abuts the residential district. The remaining trees are being placed along Tanner Drive. A sufficient number of shrubs and a considerable amount of landscaped area are also being proposed. The Landscape Plan will go before the Parks and Beautification Board on July 27, 2017. If the Planning Commission approves this Development Plan, the Planning Commission approval will be contingent upon approval from the Parks & Beautification Board.

1. The applicant will address all comments and concerns in ePlans before submitting a final mylar to be recorded by the Campbell County Clerk.

2. A recording fee of $75 (seventy-five), payable to the Campbell County Clerk must be submitted with the final mylar.

3. Any necessary landscape agreements and financial guarantees must be submitted prior to the issuance of a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy or a Certificate of Occupancy.

Staff recommends approval, subject to all Planning Requirements.
