The site falls within the boundaries of the Gateway Neighborhood Refinement Plan, a more specific subsection of the greater Springfield Comprehensive plan. The site is zoned community commercial and follows all the applicable policies and implementation actions set forth by the “commercial element” section of the refinement plan. One goal of the plan is to improve the appearance and vitality of all commercial activities in the area. The project will increase the amount of landscaping existing on site for customer appeal. Another goal is to minimize potential conflicts between residential and commercial development. The site does not border any residential parcels so this is not applicable. The final goal of the refinement plan is to ensure availability of an adequate supply of land appropriate for commercial development. The project site is already a commercial development, so the proposed development will not change the land designation. (A)(5) - The proposal complies with the applicable sections of SDC 4.2, Infrastructure Standards- Transportation. The specifications for driveways for commercial developments have been condensed in the table below.
