FROM: Heather Thrall
Senior Planner

PROJECT: T06CM06019
New Offices for Cope Behavioral Health
Commercial Site plan, 1st review

TRANSMITTAL DATE: January 4, 2007

COMMENTS: Please resubmit revised drawings along with redlines and a response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments regarding the Land Use Code and Development Standards were addressed.

1. This project was reviewed for compliance with the Land Use Code (LUC), Development Standard (DS), American National Standard Institute (ANSI), and International Building Code 2003 (IBC). Specifically, this project was reviewed for content specifications outlined in DS 2-02.

I reviewed sheet X1.1 for site plan criteria described in DS 2-02.

2. Per DS 2-02.2.1.2, please add the legal description to the plan (Midvale Park Commerce Center Amended Lot 10).

3. Per DS 2-02.2.1.4, the location map on page C-1 is perfect - please move it to page X1.1 or the title sheet.

4. Per DS 2-02.2.1.5, I didn't see the lot dimensions/bearings for the north lot line along Commerce Ct and the total east lot line along Renaissance Drive - please call out.

5. Per DS 2-02.2.1.6, please dimension the outside footprint of the buildings and clarify where the height of the buildings is measured from (parapet, flat roof, ridge, midpoint at ridge - to grade.)

6. Per DS 2-02.2.1.7, please provide the distance between buildings.

7. Per DS 2-02.2.1.8, with regards to parking:
A) Add to general notes that page C-3 has parking space dimensions for this site.
B) Provide wheel stop barriers for parking spaces abutting landscape area to protect landscaping
C) The parking calculations indicate that the site is parked as a professional office, not as a medical service outpatient service, which staff understood Cope to be. Can you please clarify on the site plan that this is a project just for the administrative offices of Cope and not as a medical service? Either that or the parking calculations have to be revised to 1 parking space per every 175 square feet of gross floor area. Thank you.
D) Please increase the fine amount for parking a handicapped parking space to $518.00 on sheet X1.3

8. Per DS 2-02.2.1.9, with regards to bicycle parking:
A) bicycle parking for class 2 must be within 50' of all main entrances to all buildings. Please call out all building main entries and if need be, disperse the bike racks between the buildings.
B) Please clarify on the site plan that there is a 5' wide clear area around one side of the bike parking spaces to ensure unblocked pedestrian access. In addition, bicycle parking cannot be located by the required pedestrian area. Ensure that the pedestrian area around the bike parking is 4' clear past the 5' bike clear area. See DS 2-09 for details and assistance, recently updated.
C) I didn't see a bike detail for the locker type parking - ? One is needed please.
D) Please provide in the general notes on sheet x1.1 where these details are located.
E) Disperse class 1 bike parking between buildings as well

9. Per DS 2-02.2.1.11, please provide a width for each PAAL and entry. In addition, the minimum size for a two-way PAAL is 24'. Please revise the PAAL leading to the loading zone/trash to a minimum of 24' in width. Please dimension the PAAL area around the garbage pick up (I see the detail on sheet X1.2, however, it should be on the site plan too please).

10. Per DS 2-02.2.1.12, with regards to pedestrian/handicapped access:
A) dimension or keynote all sidewalk widths throughout the site
B) Per DS 2-08, provide a clearly delineated pedestrian/accessible route from Renaissance to the sidewalks on the site. It appears several ramps are missing to provide an accessible route.
C) I see the civil grading plan shows ramps with truncated domes providing an accessible route from Commerce to the building entrances. Please provide the same slope notes, truncated domes and ramps shown on the site plan - or note a detail.
D) Per DS 2-09/2-08 please provide a wider sidewalk area around the class I lockers - the doors open into the sidewalk. Please see the details in 2-09.
E) Show a ramp at the sidewalk leading to the trash enclosures, with truncated domes.
F) Show width of gate along pedestrian route leading to trash enclosures
G) Is the area to the west of the larger office building filled with concrete? There's a door leading out of the building - suggests pedestrian use area.
H) Please dimension the areas of sidewalk around entrances.
I) On your handicapped ramps and truncated domes detail, please move the truncated domes to be along the boundary of the sidewalk that touches the handicapped access aisle. Truncated domes show where a person is transitioning from a vehicular use area to a pedestrian area.
J) Per DS 2-08/3-05, a 5' pedestrian refuge area, inclusive of a 4' wide concrete sidewalk, is required between a PAAL and a building. Provide one at west side of west building please.

11. Per DS 2-02.2.1.13, please show any free-standing signage, billboards or lighting proposed - with height and base widths.

12. Per DS 2-02.2.1.14, per the LUC 3.4.4.1 and 3.4.5.5, regarding loading zones:
A. two loading zones are required for this project - one for each building.
B. please show the course of maneuvering for the loading zone shown.
C. the loading area shown seems to be rather far from the entrance in which is may serve

13. Per DS 2-02.2.1.19, please dimension the right of way for Commerce and Renaissance. Show the centerlines and curbs as well please.

14. Per DS 2-02.2.1.20, please show any easements on site with recording data and type.

15. Per DS 2-02.2.1.28, please list zoning adjacent to this site.

16. Per DS 2-02.2.1.31, what is the current use?

17. Per DS 2-02.2.2.A.1, please provide the gross lot area.

18. Per DS 2-02.2.2.A.2, please provide the Floor Area Ratio for each building and then overall. (Are there 2nd floors?)

19. Per DS 2-02.2.2.B, will this site be phased development ? and if so, provide development calculations for each phase.

20. Please block the proposed southern entrance off Renaissance Dr. with bollards to prevent access to the rest of the undeveloped portion of the site.
