How is the underlying zoning and Title 9 met except as specifically requested as part of the PUD?:

The proposed project takes advantage of natural settings. Vegetation will cover all areas that are not used for structures, drives, walks, usable, or improved off street parking. Plants and trees are to be native or suitable plants according to appendix B. Parking areas, waste containers, transformers, and HVAC equipment will be screened by buildings or landscaping.

How are the proposed uses are not detrimental to present and potential surrounding uses?:

The proposed project takes advantage of natural settings. Vegetation will cover all areas that are not used for structures, drives, walks, usable, or improved off street parking. Plants and trees are to be native or suitable plants according to appendix B. Parking areas, waste containers, transformers, and HVAC equipment will be screened by buildings or landscaping.

Is the density of the PUD considered as a whole in substantial conformity with the density of the underlying zone?:

Yes

Are any variation from the basic zone requirements warranted by the design and amenities incorporated in the plan?:

Most structural standards, open space requirements, landscape plan requirements, grading and storm water management standards, existing street and utility standards, building height requirements, and scenic byway standards have been considered and met and do not require alleviations. This PUD preserves and maintains natural qualities, creates ample open space and adequate parking, provides amenities and works well within the existing neighborhood. The PUD meets the underlying zoning standards, except as noted below. • Windowless walls on primary street facades are prohibited. (MCC 3.4.07(C)6b.) The self storage use makes it challenge to avoid blank walls. Transparent glazing along the first floor façade has the potential to be quite unsightly. We have proposed multiple materials, second floor glazing and a mural to engage the public along Elo Rd. Enhanced landscaping will also be proposed in this area to visually breakup the wall. Along Samson Trail a mural is proposed along with a berm and enhanced landscaping to screen the wall. • Side yard setbacks to equal at least 30% of lot width. (MCC 3.3.04) Adequate setbacks are provided to accommodate the additions to the pathway extensions along Elo Rd. and Samson Trail. The 30’ setback along Samson Trail allows for a berm and enhanced landscaping to screen the buildings. The existing storage facility is setback approximately 190’ from Hwy 55. • Maximum permitted lot coverage of 10% for sites larger the 200,000 sf and above. (MCC 3.3.06) Existing and proposed building footprints cover 30% of the project. This allows for adequate open space to accommodate the proposed an extension of the public pathway, transit stop and trailhead parking. There is a large buffer between the existing structures and Hwy 55.

Does the PUD must meet the general objectives of the McCall Area Comprehensive Plan?:

Yes

Is the use a conditional use in the zone?:

True

Explain the relationship of the proposed used to the Comprehensive Plan.:

The intention for this proposed expansion is to create an attractive project that will provide a much needed service to the community. The storage use will be cohesive with the surrounding neighborhood, providing users a safe and convenient place store their personal items and recreational vehicles. The ability to store vehicles, RVs, boats, and other recreational equipment nearby has the potential to encourage more tourism to the area. Having a place to store these types of vehicles and equipment will give the public more options in the types of housing they would require.

Explain how the application meets the general and specific objects of Title 3.:

The storage use will work cohesively with the surrounding development. The proposed use would have very little impact to traffic within the area. This low density development will help in preserving open space and provide public amenities. The beautiful architecture and generous landscape buffer, featuring native plantings and an extension of pathway system will enhance the City’s main corridor and scenic byway.

How is the proposed use harmonious with the character of the existing neighborhood?:

The proposed project is harmonious fit with the existing neighborhood. This facility will help to fill a need for storage in the community. The proposed satellite fire station will allow the fire depart to have vehicles and equipment ready to go on the South side of town. This should allow for quicker response times to those rural areas. The proposed expansion of the pathway system along Elo Rd and Sampson Trail, along with transit stop, will allow for more transit options to access the downtown and other amenities.

How is the proposed use harmonious with the appearance of the existing neighborhood?:

The architecture, materials and landscaping would only complement and enhance the aesthetics of the surrounding neighborhood.

How will the proposed use NOT be detrimental to the general welfare, health, and safety of the neighborhood?:

Careful design considerations were taken into account to ensure general welfare, health and safety of the neighborhood. The design considered automobile and pedestrian traffic to ensure safety for pedestrians. Design considerations are being taken to preserve open space on the site and create more environmentally friendly buildings.
