Project Description:
The subject property is a former bank with an adjacent drive-through and parking lot, now used
as commercial office space by Systems West Engineers (SWE). SWE has no use for the drive-
through and would like to repair the building's exterior in concert with rebranding efforts and a
grand opening in spring of 2022.
The project includes the removal of the existing drive-through canopy and drive aisles, the
expansion of an existing planter, and replacement of some existing cladding with new cladding
materials. No other changes or alterations are proposed to the existing building, structure, or
window and door openings. There will be no change to the building area.

ZONING STANDARDS NARRATIVE
1. Mixed -Use Development Standards, Section 3.2-625
A. Section 3.2-625.A.1 requires all elevations of buildings abutting any street
to provide at least 500/c of their length and at least 25% of the ground
floor area as windows and/or doors allowing views in... On corner
lots/parcels this provision applies to both elevations.
4 The subject parcel is a corner lot and the existing building's north and west
facades face the public right-of-way. The impact of the west facade on
pedestrians is limited because it is set back approximately 100 feet from 7"
Street, and separated from the sidewalk by the existing parking lot.
The existing north elevation along A Street is 55% glazed (by length and ground -
level wall area) and complies with this requirement. The existing west elevation
along 7' Street is glazed on 32% of the length and 22% of the ground -level wall
area, so this fagade is an existing nonconforming condition. One reason for the
solidity of the west wall is that the bank vault is located in the south west corner
of the building.
While no changes are proposed to the existing wall openings, new bold -colored
sunshades at each of the existing punched openings and new landscaping along
the west wall of the building will provide pedestrian -scale interest on the west
elevation.
B. Section 3.2-625.A.2 requires at least 30% (linear) of the primary entrance
elevation to be windows with views into lobbies, displays, or working
areas for all industrial uses.
4 The existing north elevation includes the primary entrance and is 55% glazed.
The existing elevation complies with this standard. (OR the standard only applies
to industrial uses and is not applicable).
C. Section 3.2-625.A.3.a-c requires wall offsets in the form of 4 -foot
recesses, or 4 -foot extensions, or 3 -foot roof elevation changes at least
every 50 feet.
4 The primary building facade along A street meets this standard. The existing
west face of the building abutting the existing parking lot is mostly straight and
is an existing non -conforming condition. Because the scope of this project is
limited to exterior repairs and cosmetic improvements, changing the existing
structure to meet this standard would pose an unreasonable burden on the
Owner and such changes are not proposed.
D. Section 3.2-625.A.4 requires the inclusion of architectural features (e.g.
offsets, windows, wood siding, brick, stucco, textured materials) to break
up expanses of single -element building elevations.
ROWELL BROKAW ARCHITECTS Page 3 of 6
4 The existing north and south elevations comply with this standard; stone
cladding and floor -to -ceiling windows alternate with stucco exterior walls. A
combination of new phenolic (wood) rainscreen cladding, new metal cladding,
and freshly painted existing stucco are proposed to improve the appearance of
the north and south facades; the existing stone cladding is to remain.
The existing west facade is rundown, lacks composition, and is visually busy; the
proposed metal cladding will simplify the overall material palette and unify the
building's features. Three new sunshades will protrude appx. 2 feet from the wall
and will be painted a bold color to punctuate the west elevation. The expansion
of an existing planter will accommodate new landscaping that will provide natural
colors and textures along the entire west elevation.
E. Section 3.2-625.A.5 requires differentiation between the ground level and
upper stores through the use of bays, balconies, awnings, canopies,
variation in materials, etc.
4 This standard is not applicable because the 2nd floor of the building is primarily
attic and storage space. (See 1.D. response for a description of the building's
exterior features.)
F. Section 3.2-625.A.6 pertains to structures listed on the Springfield Historic
Landmark Inventory and does not apply.
G. The requirements of Section 3.2-625.6 pertain to new buildings and do not
apply.
H. Section 3.2-625.0 requires the provision of weather -protected areas
(awnings, canopies) adjacent to sidewalks and plazas for new
developments.
4 The existing building features a prominent overhang that provides ample
protection from weather at the primary entrance along A street. The overhang
wraps from the northeast corner to the northwest corner of the building and is
echoed by a change in materials at the southwest corner that continues above
the recessed (covered) south/rear entrance along the public alley.
I. Section 3.2-625.D.i.a requires mixed-use developments to provide
landscaping and screening in accordance with Sections 4.4-105 and 4.4-
110.
4 Standard 4.4-105 pertains to new developments and is not applicable. However,
expanded landscaped areas are proposed adjacent to the existing main entrance
and along the west elevation of the existing building. Per Standard 4.4-105.G,
the existing irrigation system will be extended to support new landscaping. Per
Standard 4.4-105.I, existing plants and trees to remain will be protected or not
impacted by the proposed project.
Standards 4.4-110.A.1-3 and 5-6 are not applicable to the subject property.
ROWELL BROKAW ARCHITECTS Page 4 of 6
Standard 4.4-110.A.4 requires screening for trash receptacles. Office trash and
recycling is located in the covered area (south/rear entrance) along the public
alley. This area is not screened. The building is built to the property line in this
location and there is not sufficient room for vegetative screening. A fence in this
location would obstruct existing floor -to -ceiling windows on the south facade and
create a dark and cagey environment at the rear entrance and could obstruct
emergency egress from the building. The applicant is not proposing changes to
this existing non -conforming condition.
J. Section 3.2-625.D.1.b requires street trees in accordance with Section 4.2-
140.
4 The requirements of this section are not applicable because the scope of site
improvements is limited to the demolition area and planters immediately
adjacent to the exterior walls of the existing building. No improvements to the
parking lot or surrounding sidewalks are proposed; existing trees are to remain.
K. Section 3.2-625.13.2 requires screening in accordance with Section 4.4-110
and subsections a -c.
Standard 3.2-625.D.2.a pertains to areas abutting residential districts and does
not apply.
Standard 3.2-625.D.2.b requires ground -mounted utility equipment to be located
to minimize visual impact or screened. No new above-ground/ground-mounted
utility equipment is proposed, and all existing above-ground/ground-mounted
utility equipment to remain is either placed in a discrete location or screened by
equipment covers or landscaping.
Standard 3.2-625.D.2.c requires landscaping to attain 50% coverage within 2
years and 100% coverage within 4 years. The proposed new landscaping is
designed and species selected to meet this requirement.
L. Section 3.2-625.D.3 requires irrigation systems to support landscaping
and encourages drought -resistant plants.
4 Existing irrigation systems will be extended to support new landscaping in the
proposed expanded planter beds, and plant species have been selected with
consideration for the conditions of their proposed location.
M. Section 3.2-625.D.4 is redundant to Section 3.2-625.D.2.a-c. See above.
N. Section 3.2-625.E.1-4 pertain to street networks and do not apply to the
proposed project's limited scope of work.
ROWELL BROKAW ARCHIIECTS Page 5 of 6
O. Standard 3.2-625.E.5 requires pedestrian paths and sidewalks to
conveniently connect all building entrances with each other and to public
rights-of-way.
4 Existing building entrances are directly accessible from the public right-of-way;
the north entrance abuts the sidewalk to the north, and the south entrance abuts
the public alley to the south.
P. Section 3.2-625.F.1-5 pertains to a development's compatibility with
surrounding parcels in other zones and does not apply to the subject
property or the proposed scope of work.
Q. Section 3.2-625.G requires new structures and substantial improvements
to existing buildings to provide pedestrian amenities.
+ These standards do not apply to the proposed project because the scope of work
is limited to exterior/site repairs and cosmetic improvements to the existing
building. However, the proposed landscaping and exterior lighting will improve
the overall appearance and pedestrian experience of the site.
2. Nodal Development Overlay District - Minimum Density and General Development
Standards, Section 3.3-1020
R. Section 3.3-1020.A requires a minimum FAR of 0.40 for parcels in a MUC
zone.
4 The existing building and site have a FAR of 0.34 and are nonconforming,
however this standard is not applicable to the proposed project because the
scope of work is limited to exterior/site repairs and cosmetic improvements to
the existing building.
S. Section 3.3-1020.13 requires a maximum setback of 20 feet for commercial
uses and no minimum setback.
4 The existing building complies with this standard on its north elevation and is
nonconforming on its west elevation where an existing parking lot separates the
building from the right-of-way. This standard is not applicable to the proposed
project because the scope is limited to exterior/site repairs and cosmetic
improvements to the existing building.
T. Section 3.3-1020.0 prohibits the location of parking areas between main
buildings and the street.
U. The north (A street) side of the property complies with this standard (existing
building and planters occupy 46% of site frontage). The west side is nonconforming
where the existing parking lot separates the building from the right-of-way for the
entire length of the property. This standard is not applicable to the proposed project
because the scope is limited to exterior/site repairs and cosmetic improvements to
the existing building.
