Coodu�am: The bus operations and maintenu►ce faciliry is incompatibk with othet uses p'tmitted in the B-3 zone. Locating the adrttinistrative offices adjacem to the bus opentiont and mnintensnce faciliry would enhance the efficiency ud service provided to CT employas lacated at the Hardeson Road site. The public urved by the CT administrative oflica would not be better served by location in the B-3 zone. (3) Govermnent activfdes and public tacilkiw th�t invdve la�ge vehkks, buik stors�e or proce�ees that are incompatibk wMlh the pe�mitted uxs or atated purpose ot f6e B-3 zooe shall not be located En the &3 mu. Findints; The administrative offices are direcUy associated with the bus opentiora and maintenance facilities, which are not compatible uses in the &3 zone. Conclu�foos: The CT administretive of6ces are direcdy associated with uses that are incompatible witti other permined uses in the &3 wne. (4) Setbacb for governmental or qu�si-eoveromental bulidints end uxs located ouWde the &3 wne shali be determined durlog the �evfew process as neassary b�ed upon the imp�ct t6e W'uPoeed ux or building wW have upon surroundint P�'oP�rtles. Findinp: Most uses in the M-2 zone require a 20 foot front yard setback along arterials, side yard setbacks of 1 foot for each 2 fat of building height, and rear yard setbacks of 10 tat. The CT proposal would have much grwter setbacks that required for other uses in che M-2 zone. The Merrill Creek stream and buffer provide significant setback and screening from Hudeson Road. The steep slope on the western poction of the properry provides a significant setback from properties ro che west. The building would be xtback more than 180 feet from d�e properry to the south. CT may propose consttuction of a day cate site in the future. That building would be required to meet setbacks established in the Zoning Code. Conclusions: The proposed setbacks fot the CT administrative offices are adequate. The building will not impact surtounding properties. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends approval of Special Property Use III M 2-97 for the Community Transit administrative offices to be located outside of the central business disttict.
