Backl!round This application is for Site Plan Review approval for one new industrial building and associated parking lot for Aramark. Aramark is a commercial laundry cleaning company that will be relocatinll its existinll facilitv and 45 emolovees from EUl!ene to Sorinl!field. This Aranlark facility will only be for the cleaning of mats. The facility will also serve as a distribution center; which is the reason for the cross dock building design. The doors on one side of the building will be for dropping off dirty mats and the other side will be for distributing clean mats. The subject site for this proposed development is zoned HI (Heavy Industrial) and platted in the J.P. Hammer Industrial Park as Lots 5 and 6. The lP, Hammer Industrial Park was platted and recorded on April 17, 2002. This industrial subdivision created three public streets (Kathryn Street, 40th Street, Industrial Avenue). The proposed Aramark building will have frontage and access on 40th Street. Adjacent to the Aramark facility will be the existing Mount Hood Beverage Company building. When the J.P. Hammer Industrial Park was created, all of the necessary public utilities necessary to serve the proposed development were constructed and are available in the public right-of-way. There are codes. covenants, and restrictions (CC&R) that apply to said subdivision. The Aramark facility will be in compliance with the CC&Rs. The proposed building in this Site Plan Review application will be located across the existing platted line separating Lots 5 and 6. To allow this development, a deed restriction is proposed to require that Lots 5 and 6 remain in common ownership, This written statement addresses the Site Plan Review approval criteria found in Springfield Development Code (SDC) 5.17-125. SDC 5.17-125 Site Plan Review Aooroval Criteria A. The zoning is consistent with the Metro Plan diagram, and/or the applicable Refinement Plan diagram, Plan District map, and Conceptual Development Plan. The Metro Plan Land Use Diagram designates the property as appropriate for Heavy Industrial. The Mid-Springfield Refinement Plan Diagram also designates the property for Heavy Industrial uses. These plan designations are consistent with the current zoning of HI (Heavy Industrial). Per SDC 3.2-410, in the HI zone cleaning plants and 'regional distribution' are permitted uses. The Aramark facility will be a commercial laundry facility for the cleaning of mats and distributing those mats throughout the state/region. Given that the Aramark facility will be engaged in HI zone pennitted uses; this site plan review application will be consistent with the Metro Plan and Mid-Springfield Refinement Plan heavy industrial plan designation. The proposed development also meets the development standards for the HI zone per SDC 3.2-420. Both of the existing lots are each over I acrc in size; thus meeting the minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet. The existing Lot 6 has about 174 feet of frontage and Lot 5 has about 131 feet of frontage; thus exceeding the minimum lot frontage of 75 feet. In the HI zone there are no interior yard setbacks for buildings, but there is a minimum 10 foot front Aramark Site Plan Review December 3, 2007 Page 2 . . yard setback. The proposed building will be setback over 130 feet from 40th Street; thus exceeding the minimum front yard setback of 10 feet. Per the same section referenced above, there is a requirement for landscaped setbacks of 5 feet around the parking lot/driveway. There will be proposed landscaped planters around all of the driveways and parking spaces and the minimum width of the planters is 5 feet. Based on the above facts, the development standards ofSDC 3.2-420 are met and the new Aramark facility will be consistent with the HI zoning designation. Further, sincc the proposed building will be located across the common lot line between Lots 5 and 6 of the J.P. Hammer Industrial Park a deed restriction is proposed that will require both lots remain in common ownership while the building exists on-site. B. Capacity requirements of public and private facilities, including but not limited to, water and electricity; sanitary sewer and stormwater management facilities; and streets and traffic safety controls shall not be exceeded and the public improvements shall be available to serve the site at the time of development, unless otherwise provided for by this Code and other applicable regulations. The Public Works Director or a utility provider shall determine capacity issues. The existing public improvements including the 8" wastewater line, 24"/30" storm drainage system, and 40th Street were constructed during the platting of J.P. Hammer Industrial Park. Other utilities (i.e. electric, water. phone, and gas) are also already constructed and stubbed to the two existing lots of the industrial park. These utilities are located within the existing 10 foot PUE (public utility easement) located along the entire frontage of 40th Street adjacent to the proposed development. There are no traffic lights or other safety devices adjacent to the proposed subdivision, There are existing street trees and street lights already installed in the public right-of-way. All of the existing public improvements are delineated on the attached drawings. These public improvements were sized and constructed to accommodate the type and intensity of development proposed with this site plan review application. All pertinent details about the existing public improvements are shown on the attached utility, grading and paving, and civil detail sheets. The project engineer at Olson & Morris has also carefully sized the private utilities (wastewater lines, storm drain lines) that will be constructed on the subject site to serve the proposed building. These private utilities have been sized to handle the capacity from the proposed building. The private utilities will be connected to the existing public lines. All proposed utility lines and connections are delineated on the attached utility plan. C. The proposed development shall comply with all applicable public and private design and construction standards contained in this Code and other applicable regulations. The public improvements necessary to serve the proposed development were constructed as part of the original J.P. Hammer Industrial Park. The applicant is proposing to construct private improvements that connect to the existing public improvements. A utility and grading/paving plan are included with this site plan review application. The private improvements include the proposed private utilities/parking lot necessary to accommodate Aramark Site Plan Review December 3, 2007 Page 3 . the new Aramark facility. All of the private design and construction standards of this code are complied with in regards to the private improvements, Please refer to the attached utility and grading and paving plans for applicable details. D. Parking areas and ingress-egress points have been designed to: facilitate vehicular traffic, bieycle and pedestrian safety to avoid congestion; provide connectivity within the development area and to adjacent residential areas, transit stops, neighborhood activity centers, and commercial, industrial and public areas; minimize driveways on arterial and collector streets as specified in this Code or other applicable regulations and comply with the ODOT access management standards for State highways. The existing public street network, 40th Street and Industrial A venue, provide sufficient and safe vehicular access to adjacent streets Kathryn and Olympic Streets and 420d A venue. This street connectivity also provides for connections between the proposed development and the neighboring residential area. 40th Street provides existing sidewalks for safe pedestrian access to the proposed development site. In addition, there are already two existing 36 foot driveways that will provide safe vehicular and pedestrian access from the public right-of-way to the Aramark building that will be constructed on the development site. No new ingress- egress points are proposed; thus controlling access onto the adjacent street network and minimizing the number of curb cuts onto the public street. The proposed parking area on the subject property has been designed and constructed to blend in nicely with the existing shared driveways to ensure vehicular and pedestrian circulation remains safe and convenient. The parking lot design conforms to the dimensional requirements ofSDC 4.6-115. The parking space dimensions are shown on the attached plans. The parking lot will be paved, as required, and the storrnwater run-ofT from the parking lot will flow through one of three bio-swales. The bio-swales will be located within the landscaped setbacks along the north and east property lines and in the southeast corner of the site. These bio-swales will pre-treat the storrnwater runoff prior to discharging into the existing public storm system in 40th Street. Where necessary, due to landscaped planter widths wheel bumpers will be provided. The parking lot will also be clearly striped to indicate pedestrian crossings and parking spaces. Regarding the minimum number of parking spaces, a cleaning and dyeing plant use most closely falls under the primary industrial (manufacture/assembly) category that requires I space for each 500 square feet of gross floor area. The proposed building will be approximately 24,800 square feet. There would be a requirement for 50 parking spaces and 68 spaces are being provided thus satisfying the minimum parking space requirement. The parking lot and ingress-egress points meet the applicable requirements of the SDC and thus this criterion is satisfied, E. Physical features, including, but not limited to: steep slopes with unstable soil or geologic conditions; areas with susceptibility of flooding; significant clusters of trees and shrubs; watercourses shown on the WQLW Map and their associated riparian areas; wetlands; rock outcroppings; open spaces; and areas of historic and/or archaeological significance, as may be specified in Section 3.3-900 or ORS 97.740-760, Aramark Site Plan Review December 3, 2007 Page 4 " 358.905-955 and 390.235-240, shall be protected as specified in this Code or in State or Federal law. There are no physical features on the subject property; this includes trees, shrubs, watercourses, riparian areas, wetlands, rock outcrop pings, or historic features. Given the absence of any physical features on the site; this criterion is not applicable. This proposed Aramark facility in the lP, Hammer Industrial Park on 40th Street clearlv meets all aooroval criteria of the Sorinllfield Develooment Code.
