ANALYSIS OF UDC REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS: Unified Development Code (UDC) 11-3B-8C.la requires a 5-foot wide minimum landscape buffer be provided adjacent to parking, loading, or other paved vehicular use areas, including driveways and truck parking areas. Per this requirement, a 5-foot wide buffer would be required along the west and south property boundaries. However, the code does allow the Director to waive this requirement for truck maneuvering areas in industrial districts. Because a truck maneuvering area is proposed on the west side of the property adjacent to the new manufacturing Conditions Document 3 Scentsy CZC ALT building and a rail line spur runs along the sozrth side of the property, the Director has waived this requirement. UDC 11-3A-19A.1.a requires building facades visible from a public street or public space to incorporate modulations in the fagade. The applicant requests approval of alternative compliance to this requirement and proposes modulation through the use of paint and texture to give the appearance of modulation (see Exhibit D) and install landscaping in front of the buildings. As allowed by UDC 11-SB-SB2, the Director deemed the proposed alternative provides an equal means for meeting the requirement and has approved the request for alternative compliance. UDC 11-3A-17 and 11-3F-4B.2c requires a minimum 5-foot wide attached sidewalk or minimum 4' wide detached sidewalk be provided along one side of Commercial Street. Because the property to the north is also owned by Scentsy and because there is existing landscaping & irrigation on the south side of Commercial, Scentsy proposes to construct the sidewalk on the north side of Commercial the full length of the property to Eagle Road. Scentsy has committed in writing to building the sidewalk in the aforementioned location. The Director has approved the applicant's request for the location of the sidewalk.
