2005/12/05 Council Agenda Packet

Potential Standards for Development — Providence Hospital Process: The City will use Review Process II for permitting of construction and site work. Future Studies: Future studies will be required for traffic, parking and others as necessary. Relationship to the surrounding residential area: Intent: To promote a positive environment around the hospital that encourages and supports the residential character of the neighborhood. Guidelines: • Hospital buildings should have clear and visible pedestrian access. • Buildings adjacent to the residential areas should be designed so they are sensitive to the residential area by using consistent material, color and massing of the existing medical office building. • Trash areas and loading dock(s) should not be wide open and visible from the street and residential area. They should be screened by a combination of masonry walls, landscaping and trellises. • All garbage bins shall be equipped with rubber lids to reduce noise impact on adjacent residential areas. • All mechanical equipment shall be located within the buildings with sound buffering to reduce noise impacts. Parking Standard: The parking standard shall be determined by a parking study which reviews the types of uses, square footages of buildings, parking provided, staffing levels and other factors determined by the City Engineer and Planning Director. Height: Intent: To encourage the hospital design to be efficient in its use of land while stepping back buildings from residential use areas. Guidelines: The maximum height of buildings in the center of the site will be 175 ft. The buildings will be stepped back from Oakes, 14th Street, Wetmore, Colby, and 13th Street from Colby to Wetmore. 14
