Meeting Minutes
July 28,2016
Mr. Dickey presented Staff's report/photos. The Level 1 Application is for review related to
construction of a 24-foot high, 602 square foot building and associated site improvements to
include 32 parking spaces. The property is 1.11 acres and zoned C-1. The proposed use is
permitted.
Sec.22-44 of the Code includes specific standards that must be considered;specifically,the project
is coordinated in a harmonious manner relevant to surrounding area and cultural character of the
community.
The property is within the A 1 A Economic Opportunity Overlay District. The project must meet
certain architectural/site design guidelines applicable to development within this area. Some of
these standards may be difficult to apply since the building is their"brand." Board Members will
need to use discretion.
The area surrounding the proposed project is commercial and contains structures that are 30-
plus years old. Improvements represent new investment in the area and meet design guidelines
as contained in City regulations. As such,the project is in harmony with its surroundings.
Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the Site Plan for the proposed Twistee
Treat project with the condition to increase the number of bicycle parking spaces to six.
Staff recommended approval.
