They will also install three underground storage gasoline tanks. SITE DESCRITPTION &HISTORY The subject property is zoned C-3, General Shopping as is the Bachman property to the north. The properties west and south are zoned industrial and the property to the east is a McDonald's that is zoned C-2, General Business. The property is located on the corner of 81St Avenue and University Avenue Service Road. The existing warehouse building was constructed in 1986. In 1993 and in 1994, Sam's Auto Buying Program received special use permit approvals to allow sale and display of new and/or used motor vehicles by automobile agencies. The property was replatted in 1997 to allow the creation of the Bachman's lot to the north. A building addition was also constructed in 1997. A permit has been issued this year to do a major remodel of the existing building, which they are currently working on. This remodel will also include a new canopy area in the front of the building for loading of merchandise. 1 ANALYSIS AND CODE REQUIREMENTS Motor vehicle fuel dispensing services are a permitted special use in a C-3, General Shopping zoning district, subject to stipulations. As stated above, the project will include the construction of a 192 sq. ft. kiosk building, and six fueling pumps that are covered by a canopy. They will also install three underground storage gasoline tanks. Parking and circulation will be modified on the site to allow for the construction of the gas station, and additional landscaping will be installed to provide screening and visual interest. Sam's Club has been interested in constructing this gas station on their property for several years, however the City's parking code standards wouldn't allow them to eliminate parking stalls for the construction of this use. In the early 2005, two variances were granted to reduce the required amount of parking stalls in commercial zoning districts, for the redevelopment of Target and CVS. Instead of continuing to grant variances, staff determined that we should analyze our parking standards to see if a change needed to be made. Our analysis determined that we were requiring too many parking stalls in our commercial zoning districts, so in 2005,the City approved a text amendment to reduce the parking code standards for commercial properties from 1 stall for every 150 sq. ft. to 1 stall for every 250 sq. ft. of building area. As a result of this change, Sam's Club is now able to use some of their large parking lot to accommodate the construction of the gas station and still be complaint with code parking requirements. The existing Sam's Club building is 135,192 sq.ft, and the proposed kiosk building is 192 sq. ft., which will require 521 parking stalls for the subject property. Currently there are 743 parking stalls on site, after the construction of the gas station area, 623 will remain, therefore, exceeding code requirements. The proposed canopy and kiosk building meet all setback requirements and the site is at 24% lot coverage with the construction of the kiosk building and canopy, which also meets code requirements. City code does state that all accessory structures need to be located in the side or rear yard and though staff generally relates this requirement to residential properties and things like sheds, we wanted to point out that this use though accessory to the existing Sam's Club, could stand alone as a principal use on the site and meet all code requirements, and therefore would be allowed. The new kiosk building will be constructed of CMU (concrete masonry unit) painted block, which will be match and be compatible with the exterior of the existing Sam's Club building. a� y; J � Proposed Kiosk Building and Fueling Pumps 2 •I►wjad&gppq n 10 a-Iunnssi of aoud uold I(j!l►;n pun 'a6nu.Inap '6u►pnab anoiddo pun Mainaa of 1104s 5uuaaui6u3/(Ji.)

The existing zoning of the Sam's Club parcel is C-3 General Shopping and permits fueling stations with a Special Use Permit. We have attached all submittal requirements per the application except for a certificate of survey. Since this project is located within an existing parking lot, no certified survey was completed. Although no certificate of survey was provided, the drawings submitted are to scale and the exact location of the fueling station is shown on both the Overall Plan and the Site Plan. As for Stormwater Runoff Calculations, all of the proposed construction occurs within the existing parking lot so no runoff increase is expected. As for excavation/fill, per out geotechnical report we are required to excavate approximately 3,000 cy and dispose off-site, and import approximately 2,000 cy of fill. For greater detail of the planned improvements please see the attached site development plans for the Sam's fueling station.
