The owner is proposing to develop 19.18 acres of land located at 1320 E Shoshone. The property is located south of East Shoshone Ave and west of Butler Spaeth Road. The City Council is currently considering a zoning map amendment request for Lot 1, Betcher Subdivision to amend the map from C-3 Business/Services District to I-1 Light Industrial District.
The proposed Development Plan consists of 2 buildings of which there is a 3,000 s.f. office and a 15,000 s.f. shop associated with the proposed business. Water will be provided from an existing 8” water service line and a sewer main will be constructed from the south east of Lot 2 to service both buildings. Because the Shop will be sprinklered, no additional Fire Hydrants are required to be located on site. The existing fire hydrant system along East Shoshone Avenue, in conjunction with the sprinklered shop, is adequate for fire protection.
An internal storm system network will be provided which will discharge into the city owned and maintained detention area on the east which is Tract A, Betcher Subdivision. Electrical services are also available for this development. The Developer is required to extend any required utilities across the property.
Paved access to the property will primarily be from East Shoshone Avenue. 42 Parking spaces have been provided for the public and employee parking. Two (2) 12’x50’ paved loading areas are proposed for this development as part of the concrete paved apron around the shop. A second 40’ wide truck entrance is being proposed along Butler Spaeth Road south of E Shoshone Avenue. This access will utilize a 40’ Access & General Utility Easement on Tract A, Betcher Subdivision to gain access to Lot 2. Lot 2 will primarily be utilized for storage.
A fuel island is proposed as part of this development. Above ground fuel islands are not allowed in the I-1, Light Industrial District. The Developer shall seek a variance to the Zoning Code through the Board of Adjustments or construct a State Permitted underground fuel island which are allowed in the I-1, Light Industrial District. The fuel island shall meet all zoning and state requirement and/or requirements of the Board of Adjustments if granted a variance upon application.
On July 11, 2019 the Parks Board reviewed the Development Landscaping plan and voted in favor of the proposed Landscape Plan with conditions for updated Landscape Plans. Landscaping in the form of trees and shrubs will be provided along the Shoshone Avenue Right of Way as well as some internal landscaping. A number of the existing cottonwood trees will remain and credited toward the landscaping requirements. A 6’ chain link fence will be installed to encompass the shop and storage areas. A berm will be constructed adjacent to the existing MH, Mobile Home District on the south to provide a buffer between that and the I-1, Light Industrial District. |
