SUrtLE'.1tENTAL AlPLICATION FOR SPECIAL PR6PERTY USES NARRATIVE S'FATEMENT - GENERAL & SPECIFIC CR[TERIA Community Transit (CT) is requating a Special Property Use (SP[n pertnit for construction of a new Administration Building outside of the B-3 zone. CT would like to construct this fuiliry at our exiuing Operations Base located at 7000 Hardeson Road. This would consolidate CT's operations, maintenance, administration, and executive staff at one location. M Administration Building (office ux) is an allowed use in the M-2 zone; the rcquirement for an SPU is triggercd by the fact that CT is a quasi-governmental agency, not that an office huilding is an unacceptable use. A. GENERAL EVALUAT[ON CRITERIA 1. The need of the neighborhood, district, or City for a proposed �pecial property use. The proposed use would be located on �he existing C1' operations base. Lucating administrative employees on the same site as operations and maintenance will increase efficiency and communication throughout the agency. Additionally, employees would be able to walk between facilities, instead of driving. 2. The adequacy of streets, utilities and public services requircd to serve +� proposed uu. The site has adequate access directly from Hardeson Road via three existing bridge crossings. The faciliry, a.s an office building, would not have large demands on public utilities or services; existing levels of service are more than sufficient to serve the building. 3. The impact of tnfTic genernted by the proposed use on the surrounding area, pedatrian circulation and public safety; nnd the ability of the proponent to mitignte such potential impacu. The building would generate approximately 239 average daily trips (ADT's), with 47 p.m. peak hour trips. PedestriaNpublic access and safety will be maintained at the site, including locating the building close to Hardeson Road, landscaped walkways, and separation from bus circulation.
