Ordinance 1436-88 - Laserfiche WebLink

• Planning Commission Minutes July 7, 1987 Page 3 Gary stated that staff had thought that the 35-foot height limitation should be modified to allow for a visual analysis on a specific building to determine whether or not there would be any impact on the neighborhood to the north. So we suggest that you allow for some flexibility based on not knowing the specific nature of a proposed building. Chuck Moser stated that realistically that 35 feet was going to require an elevator - is there going to be an application for anything above 35 feet? Gary thought there would be a limited possibility in a special consideration. Gary stated that Staff prefers that this be analyzed technically at the time of a specific proposal. Gary Doughty stated that the differences between what the staff and the neighborhood proposed would be noise control. Rather than the area being classed as a Noise 3 or Manufacturing Class, that the area be classified Commercial or Class 2, since i4oing to be Business Park anyway and the City's Noise Ordinance allows a 57 dBA normal daytime noise level at the receiving property or the south edge of the 150' buffer. This is substantially lower than is permitted in most residential zones - 57 dBA for business and commercial activities. Gary told the Planning Commission that the staff would like to suggest that the north 30 acres be combined with the south 40 acres for a recommendation of comprehensive plan and zoning to the City Council. The staff recommends identifying by legal description the area known as Powder Mill Gulch and state what the Comprehensive Plan designation is to be on this portion of land. Gretchen Shaffer stated that the 150' buffer is more of a tool to protect one land use from another. Chuck Moser stated that he thought the 150' buffer should be recorded with the assessor. Gary Doughty stated that it would remain a condition with the property and not the owner that any changes would require public hearings. Don Bocek, of Sigma Development Company, P. O. Box 967, Woodinville, WA 98072 then addressed the Planning Commission. Mr. Bocek thanked the neighborhood group for the efforts they had put forth to complete the study. Mr. Bocek then proceeded to go through the current staff report stating any objections to the statements. On page 7 - Mr. Bocek approved of the staff recommendation presented there. On page 8, paragraph 2, second paragraph, regarding the submittal of an application within 12 months of this comprehensive plan amendment for a permit for further development on this site - Mr. Bocek would like to see the Planning Commission eliminate this paragraph. Mr. Bocek did not why he should be locked into a master site plan within 12 months or the rezone is revoked. On page 8, paragraph 3, "I guess I can take exception to the neighborhood as far as the 1,000 foot buffer business park. In the approval for the South 40 acres, the Planning Commission approved a 600-foot overall business park buffer. To me, 600 feet back from their backyards considering the 150-foot buffer that is there should be adequate for business park uses."
