VIII. Variances: N/A IX. Staff Analysis The Town Center designation is a planned development district that encompasses both underlying commercial and residential land use categories. The Town Center primary objective is to foster a regionally competitive business and activity center for cultural activities, visitor's services financial services, and professional office. The Applicant is proposing to construct a one story building that will replace the present structure. The proposed building will have a larger footprint than the original. The proposed development as designed is consistent with and furthers the intent of the Town Center District designation of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The proposed use is compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. The Applicant's proposed building does not provide any traffic problems that require mitigation. In fact the location currently hosts an existing building with the same configuration but less square footage. The proposed site provides all the necessary parking and the parking area is located in the rear of the property, which eliminates any view of the parking lot from Collins Avenue. The addition of landscape elements in the front and side of the building and the proposed 10'-0" easement, is in accordance with the future plans of the City to create an open pedestrian friendly area in the front of all properties adjacent to Collins A venue. There are no additional curb cuts requested along Collins Avenue and the flow of traffic from Collins Avenue on to the parcel provides for sufficient space for cars entering on the Northeast corner of the property and for cars exiting in the Southeast comer of the property on to Collins Avenue. The front access to the building has not been changed from the original existing building, no variances are being requested by the Applicant, and the front facade provides a professional office look to the building facing Collins Avenue. The low rise nature of the building will provide visibility from Collins Avenue of the other retail stores in the rear of the property. 16830 COLLINS AVENUE 22008-07 RCS 3
