Background
The preliminary plat for the Blaine Town Square plat was approved in 2003, and the Planning Commission, at that time, reviewed a concept plan for the layout of the Town Square development. This item is a request for a conditional use permit for a small medical building to be located on proposed Lot 2 of the plat. All uses in the DF (Development Flex) zoning district require the approval of conditional use permits.
Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit
The City and the applicant have negotiated a site plan that meets the standards envisioned by the City for DF (Development Flex) zoning and for the Town Square Development. Center for Diagnostic Imaging (CDI) is proposing to construct an 8,777 square foot medical building on proposed Lot 2 of the development. The medical building will contain approximately six exam rooms, equipment rooms, and several offices. CDI serves patients in need of medical imaging and other radiology procedures.
The building being proposed consists of a stone veneer, stucco, and glass, and the building fits in nicely with the architecture of the other buildings within the Town Square development. The front of the building will face Radisson Road, while the back of the building will face 108th Lane. The City Council has directed that the buildings in the Town Square development meet the Highway 65 Overlay District standards and the building does meet these requirements. A condition has been added below that states the site and buildings must be constructed as presented in this application.
The City Council has directed that all sites in the Town Square development meet the Overlay District requirements for landscaping. The landscape plan that has been provided does meet the Overlay District however some oversizing of trees will be required.
The site plan indicates that CDI will share an access with the site to the south. This access is located on the southeast side of the site. The shared access with Anchor Bank will provide access to the CDI dumpster enclosure.
Staff has calculated the parking needs for this site and believes that the parking provided on site is appropriate.
The lighting to be used on site should be consistent with the overall lighting package for the entire development.
Park Dedication was previously paid with the approval of the final plat.
