Requirements for all parcels within the Galleria specific plan:
A. Walkways: Private walkways adjacent to buildings or plaza areas shall be designed to be wide enough to accommodate outdoor seating areas for pedestrian street furniture, amenities such as planter pots and trash receptacles and trees and other landscaping.
B. Outdoor Patios: Establishments that have an outdoor patio for the consumption of an alcoholic beverage are required to provide a definable boundary for the "private" portion of the patio in which consumption is allowed. In addition, each establishment is required to implement a means to control access to the patio from the exterior or "public" areas. The barrier specifications shall be determined at the review of the development application and may include, but is not limited to, fencing, landscaping and signage.
C. Special Activities, Jordan Creek Town Center Overlay District: All establishments within the Galleria Development shall abide by subsection 9-10-4M, "Regulation Of Specific Activities, Jordan Creek Town Center Overlay District", of the city code.
D. Screening: Loading areas, undesirable building elements, transformers, HVAC and trash enclosures shall be screened in accordance with city code. Screening materials shall be consistent with that used on the primary structure. Roof mounted HVAC screening shall be incorporated into the design of the building through the use of raised parapets, screening walls or other acceptable solutions as identified during the review of the site plan.
E. Cart Corrals: Shall be permanent fixtures and constructed with masonry, stone or block. No signage identifying a tenant or products shall be located on the cart corrals. Cart corrals shall be anchored to the ground to prevent movement and misalignment due to vehicle and maintenance equipment hitting the corral.
F. Street Furniture: On file in the city are representations of the street furniture that when required shall be installed in the pedestrian use areas throughout the Galleria Development. Although deviations from the illustrations are permissible, the street furniture is intended to distinguish the Galleria Development from surrounding developments and to act as a unifying element within the overall Galleria Development.
G. Lot Size: Multiple buildings on one lot and lots less than the minimum square footage per acre required by code for the designated zoning parcel shall be considered acceptable if supported by appropriate easements or a reciprocal easement agreement; and if approved by the appropriate approval body as part of an overlay district site plan, permitted conditional use permit or plat.
H. Buffer Parks: Buffer screening between districts or parcels and uses shall not be required, except as noted otherwise in this ordinance.
1. A one hundred foot (100') buffer park shall be required along the southern boundary of parcel G. Landscaping requirements shall be in accordance with the requirements of a thirty foot (30') buffer park and shall include significant earth berming of articulated heights no less than five feet (5') to help screen the uses and road from the adjoining residential properties. Additional need for berming and the location of landscaping and berming shall be determined at site plan development for parcel G to provide for adequate screening and buffering of the Pheasant Ridge neighborhood. Berming and landscaping shall be installed with platting or development, whichever comes first. Due to drive spacing requirements from the intersection of Stagecoach Drive and South 68th Street, an access drive from South 68th Street into parcel G may be allowed to encroach into the one hundred foot (100') buffer; however, said drive encroachment should be limited to the minimal amount of encroachment necessary. Adequate buffering and screening for the residents of Pheasant Ridge must still be provided. Off street parking and the placement of primary or detached structures shall not be allowed within the buffer.
2. A sixty foot (60') buffer park shall be located along both the north and south sides of Mills Civic Parkway. Landscaping requirements shall be in accordance with city code. The buffer park may be reduced to thirty feet (30') along the south side of Mills Civic Parkway from South 60th Street westerly to the first driveway entrance, if it is determined by the development planning and inspection manager that the layout of the site provides no reasonable option and the development meets the intent of the town center overlay district guidelines. Landscaping and berming to provide additional buffering above and beyond what would typically be found in a thirty foot (30') buffer park should be considered at the time of site plan development.
3. If at the time of platting, a single-family home(s) still exists on an adjacent parcel, a thirty foot (30') buffer park shall be required along the south boundary of parcels E and D and/or eastern boundary of parcels F and G. The buffer park will not be required in the event the abutting property owner(s) to the south of parcels E and D or east of parcels F and G provide a written covenant to waive the requirement.
4. Ponds, lakes, wetlands or other water features may be placed within a buffer park given that a water feature, such as a fountain and/or significant wetland plantings and edge treatments are provided. Dry detention areas are not generally allowed in buffer parks, however if it is determined by the development planning and inspection manager that the intent of the buffer park is met, a portion of the dry detention may encroach into the buffer.
I. Height Restrictions: Unless otherwise noted in this ordinance, the height of a building will conform to the standard zoning provisions for that district, with the exception of building elements such as bell towers, clock towers or other vertical architectural elements. These elements may exceed height restrictions, as determined by the development planning and inspection manager.
J. Lighting Standards: It is intended that lighting for each development within the Galleria specific plan area shall be designed to provide a safe environment, yet mitigate light pollution onto adjoining properties. During the design review of each building, the applicant must demonstrate how lighting will not adversely affect the adjoining properties.
1. Light fixtures shall be limited to a maximum of twenty five feet (25') in height as measured from the grade to the top of the fixture.
2. All lights shall be cutoff fixtures, no wall pack or floodlighting is allowed. The style of fixtures shall be a unifying element within the Galleria Development and therefore should be of a consistent and complementary design.
3. As part of the review of each site plan, a photometric plan must be submitted. At the time of application, the plan shall demonstrate that light levels fall at or below one foot-candle at the perimeter of the development and, the interior property line of adjoining parcels unless shared parking fields or another component of development common to the parcels justifies otherwise.
4. Canopy lighting used for drive-ups or gas pumps, must use a recessed or flush lighting fixture so that no part of the fixture is visible from the street.
5. In addition to cutoff fixtures, particular attention shall be given to eliminate hot spots or light glare. To achieve this additional measures may include, but are not limited to, lowering parking lot light levels after business hours, turning off lights not necessary for security purposes and use of landscaping for light screening.
K. Parking Requirements: All parking areas shall be landscaped to screen visibility thereof from public rights of way or from any adjoining property outside the Galleria Development through the use of predominantly evergreen plant materials and/or berming and shall be reviewed at the time of review of the site plan for the development of the parcel.
1. Parking Lots At Major Street Intersections: The location of parking lots at major street intersections shall be discouraged unless adequate visual screening is provided to mitigate views thereof.
2. Parking Lot Setbacks: Parking lots shall be set back a minimum of twenty five feet (25') from property line, with the exception of a small section along South 64th Street as noted on the specific plan map (exhibit 2). Only here may the parking lot setback be ten feet (10') from the street, provided that the site layout meets the intent of the specific plan and town center overlay district, as determined by the development planning and inspection manager. No off street parking area shall encroach into a buffer park.
3. Number Of Stalls: All retail and office parcels must comply with a minimum requirement of one space per three hundred (300) gross square feet of building. Residential uses shall provide at a minimum 1.5 spaces for each unit. At the discretion of the development planning and inspection manager a less stringent parking calculation may be used provided the applicant can demonstrate a need for a parking rate less than the above, due to shared parking or off peak uses.
4. Residential Dwellings: For any residential dwelling intended as owner occupied and/or for which a condominium regime is established, a minimum of one of the required spaces for each unit shall be as an enclosed parking space. This parking space shall be a minimum of nineteen feet by nine feet (19' x 9') and may be designed as a freestanding garage, attached garage or multiple garage spaces within an enclosure. A specific covered parking space shall be designated for and legally tied to each dwelling unit. The covered space must be for the exclusive use of the occupant of the dwelling unit and cannot be rented or purchased by a third party, even if the dwelling unit is rented.
5. Shared Parking: Developers of parcels within the Galleria must provide a cross access/parking agreement at the time of platting to utilize shared parking.
6. On Street Parking: On street parking shall not be allowed along any public street or private street intended to function as a public street within the development. (Ord. 1920, 5-31-2011)
