Office of the City Manager 5200 Emerald Parkway • Dublin, OH 43017 Phone: 614-410-4400 • Fax: 614-410-4490 TO: Members of City Council FROM: Jane S. Brautigam, City Manager C~ A W ~'' X53 DATE: August 18, 2008 INITIATED BY: Steve Langworthy, Director of Land Use and Long Range Planning RE: Ordinance 57-08, MAG Parking Lot -Rezoning (Case No. 03-1122) Memo Request This is a request for review and approval of a rezoning (preliminary development plan) from PCD, Planned Commerce District to PUD, Planned Unit Development District. The rezoning is for a stand-alone parking lot to serve the existing Midwestern Auto Group (MAG) car dealership within Perimeter Center as an employee parking and inventory storage lot. The applicant is proposing to rezone 2.21 acres of a 10.1-acre parcel, located on the south side of Venture Drive, approximately 800 feet southeast of the intersection with Perimeter Drive, to amend the approved development text to add vehicle parking as a primary use to the permitted uses of the existing PCD zoning. First Reading City Council Comments This ordinance was introduced at the August 18, 2008 City Council meeting and Council members had questions regarding the landscape requirements for the proposed parking lot. The development text requires that the landscape requirements of the Code be met. Code requires that the perimeter of the parking lot be buffered with materials that achieve 100 percent, year-round opacity with one tree per every 40 feet of boundary of vehicular use area plus a 3.5-foot average height continuous fence, wall, planting, hedge or mound. The details of the buffering will be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission with the final development plan. Council members also requested information regarding landscaping for existing car dealerships on Sawmill Road, and that information is provided in a separate memo. Recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission The Planning and Zoning Commission at their 7uly 17, 2008 meeting recommended approval to City Council of the request to create a new subarea (Subarea J-1) and add astand-alone parking lot as a conditional use to the permitted uses. The approval does not permit the construction of the lot; a conditional use application and final development plan must still be approved. The Commission recommended approval of this request to City Council with one condition: 1) That the applicant provide a stormwater management report for the site that complies with the City's stormwater management and stream corridor protection Code, subject to approval by the City Engineer. Memo to Council re Ordinance 57-08 -Rezoning - MAG Parking Lot August 28, 2008 Page 2 of 2 Site History This rezoning application was initially filed in 2003 to allow for an expansion of the MAG operation onto this parcel. The applicant subsequently made modifications to their other dealerships within the City and did not carry forward with this application. Pending approval of proposed modifications to the adjacent MAG dealership (currently being reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission), the applicant has indicated a need for additional parking and vehicle storage area (excluding display) and has revised this application accordingly. The Planning and Zoning Commission informally reviewed this proposal at the June 19, 2008 work session and provided feedback regarding the proposed use, location and site details for the proposal. Some Commissioners questioned the need for the lot once the proposed modifications to the MAG dealership are completed, and thus preferred requiring a conditional use approval to allow a review of the proposed use. Proposed Rezoning Proposed Use The proposed parking lot is intended to complement and supplement the operations of the existing MAG car dealership during an anticipated building expansion. After the expansion, the applicant anticipates a continued need for inventory vehicle storage on the stand-alone lot. The lot would only be permitted to be used in conjunction with the car dealership on the adjacent parcel to. the west. However, the site would not be used for additional vehicle display area for sales purposes. The proposed development text amends the existing Perimeter Center text for Subarea D and creates a new Subarea J-1. In addition to the uses currently permitted in Subarea D (SO, Suburban Office and Institutional uses and OLR, Office, Laboratory and Research uses), the proposed text permits astand-alone 191-space parking lot for employee parking and vehicle storage to serve the dealership located in Subarea J as a conditional use. Site Layout The preliminary development plan proposes to create a new 2.21-acre, rectangular parcel fronting Venture Drive. The plan indicates 191 parking and storage spaces. Access to the lot is limited to two internal drives from the MAG dealership to the west; no direct access to Venture Drive is shown. The preliminary development plan provides a 30-foot setback along the southern property line, a 10-foot setback along the eastern property line and a 25-foot setback along Venture Drive to the north. No setback between the western property line and the MAG dealership site is indicated. The proposed plan and text limits the use of the parking lot to employee parking and vehicle inventory storage. The development text does not permit the sale of vehicles from the lot. Recommendation Planning recommends Council approval of Ordinance 57-08 at the second reading/public hearing on September 2, 2008.

Page 6 of 6 Rezoning Statement Midwestern Auto Group Perimeter Center PUD Subarea J-1 A. Please briefly explain the proposed development: The subject site consists of 2.21+/- acres of real property located south of Venture Drive, north of U.S. Route 33/State Route 161, and east of Perimeter Loop Road. This proposal seeks to rezone the property to permit the same uses and same development standards as are currently applicable to the property, and also serves to clarify the right to improve the property with astand-alone parking lot that will accommodate employee parking and vehicle storage for the Midwestern Auto Group (MAG) automobile dealership, which is found adjacent to this site. The MAG dealership is to be redesigned in accordance with a final development plan that is pending with the city to facilitate the relocation of an additional product line to that site. The stand along parking lot will acconunodate the automobile dealership's parking needs following the redesign of that facility as proposed in an amended final development plan that is on file with the city. The intent is to integrate the parking lot into the redesigned site so as to provide a seamless transition across the properties. B. Briefly state how the proposed rezoning and development relates to the existing and future land use character of the vicinity: The proposed use fits the existing character of the area, which is home to a number of automobile dealerships. The parking lot is an extension of a permitted use and will serve to accommodate the expansion of a successful business. C. Briefly state how the proposed rezoning and development relates to the Dublin Community Plan and, if applicable, how the proposed rezoning meets the criteria for Planned Districts (Section 153.052(B)]. The use of the site is not changing with this application. However, the Community Plan designates this area as "General Commercial." The uses that are present in such a district include as automobile sales and service and accessory uses. D. Briefly address how the proposed rezoning and development meet the review criteria for Preliminary Development Plan approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission as set forth in Section 153.055(A). Each of the review criteria of Section 153.055 of the City of Dublin Code addressed below. The proposed development meets the review criteria and therefore should be approved. 1) The proposed development is consistent with the purpose, intent, and applicable standards of the zoning code. The proposed development meets the purpose, intent, and applicable standards of the zoning code. It also meets all of the standards that are applicable to the property under its current zoning. 2) The proposed development is in conformity with the Community PIan, Thoroughfare Plan, Bikeway Plan, and other adopted plans or portions thereof as they may apply and will not unreasonably burden the existing street network. The development conforms to the recommendations of relevant plans. The development of the property as a stand alone parking lot will not provide a direct connection to the public transportation network. Rather, access to this site will be from the existing MAG automobile dealership to the west. 3) The proposed development advances the general welfare of the city and immediate vicinity and will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding areas. The proposed development advances the general welfare of the city by helping to accommodate the redesign of the existing MAG dealership to the west, which will bring additional jobs to that site. 4) The proposed uses are appropriately located in the city so that the use and value of property within and adjacent to the area will be safeguarded. The proposed uses will have a positive impact on this area of the city. The use of the property is consistent with the area's existing character. 5) Proposed residential development will have sufficient open space areas that meet the objectives of the Community Plan. Not applicable. ~ The proposed development respects the unique characteristic of the natural features and protects the natural resources of the site. There are no unique natural features or natural resources on this site. 7) Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, retention and/or necessary facilities have been or are being provided. All utilities are available to serve the site. Drainage and retention shall be provided in accordance with the approved final development plan for the project. 8) Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress designed to minimize traffic congestion on the surrounding public streets and to maximize public safety and to accommodate adequate pedestrian and bike circulation systems so that the proposed development provides for a safe, convenient, and non-conflicting circulation system for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians. The development is designed to ensure that impacts to the surrounding public transportation network are minimized. No direct access to the stand alone parking lot will be provided to public rights-of--way. Instead, access to and from the lot will occur through the MAG dealership to the west. 9) The relationship of buildings and structures to each other and to other facilities provides for the coordination and integration of this development within the PUD and the larger community and maintains the image of Dublin as a quality community. Not applicable. 10) The density, building gross floor area, building heights, setbacks, distances between buildings and structures, yard space, design and layout of open space systems and parking areas, traffic accessibility and other elements having a bearing on the overall acceptability of the development plans contribute to the orderly development of land within the city. Not applicable. 11) Adequate provision is made for storm drainage within and through the site so as to maintain, as far as practicable, usual and normal swafes, watercourses, and drainage areas. The storm drainage will be handled in accordance with an approved finakl development plan for the site. 12) The design, site arrangement, and anticipated benefits of the proposed development justify any deviation from the standard development regulations included in the Zoning Code or Subdivision Regulation, and that any such deviations are consistent with the intent of the Planned Development District regulations. The development meets or exceeds the applicable requirements of the Zoning Code and other relevant documents. 13) The proposed building design meets or exceeds the quality of the building designs in the surrounding area and all applicable appearance standards of the city. Not applicable. 14) The proposed phasing of development is appropriate for the existing and proposed infrastructure and is sufficiently coordinated among the various phases to ultimately yield the intended overall development. The construction of the parking lot will occur prior to or in conjunction with the redesign of the MAG dealership site to the west in order to accommodate the impacts of that redesign on parking for that use. 1S) The proposed development can be adequately serviced by existing or planned public improvements and not impair the existing public service system for the area.

Perimeter Center, Subarea D -MAG Parking Lot Venture Drive 03-1122 Rezoning/Preliminary Development Plan Claudia Husak presented this rezoning application. She said the plan is for a parking iot to serve the existing Midwestern Auto Group car dealership within Subarea U of the Perimeter Center Planned Commerce District. She reminded the Commissioners of their previous informal comments on the application during the JLUIe 19, 2008 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, namely requesting that an alternate location be chosen for the parking lot which would place it further away from the US 33 frontage. Ms. Husak pointed out -~tF~t...the new proposal locates the parking lot along Venture Drive at an easiest orientation. _._-- Ms. Husak described the surrounding uses and explained that the property is locat-ed in Subarea D, while the MAG dealership is located in Subarea J. She said the applicant was proposing to rezone the subject property in Subareaa_to a new Suhar~o be called J-1. Subarea J-1 would permit the same uses as Subarea D, but also allow for a stand-alone parking lot for employees and vehicle inventory. Ms. Husak explained that plans I:or an expansion of the MAG dealership would create a need for this parking lot. Ms. Husak also said that the development text indicates that a conditional use would be required for the parking lot to exist- Ms. Husak displayed the proposed preliminary development plan and explained that Subarea J-1 would be approximately 2.21 acres with a majority of frontage on Venture Drive. She said the plan and text show a I11ax1mUn1 of 191 pill'king and storage spaces. She said that access is limited through the MAG site and that the deve~Qlir~ient text does not allow for vehicle display. Ms. Husak spoke about the Conunission's previous discussions regarding environmentally- friendly pavement options, but said that the applicant had not addressed this issue in their application. She explained that Planning had created a condition which would require the applicant to utilize pervious pavement in their final development plan. Ms. Husak'~~ad_that in reviewing the criteria for a preliminary development plan, Planning found that all were ti~~excluding~~I1e criterion for traffic utilities and storm water management. She explained that tliis.criterioncould be met with two proposed conditions. She said the Planning is recommending approval with the conditions that a stormwater management report be submitted and the development tc~tt be revised to require pervious pavement for the site. Ben Hale Jr., representative for the applicant, explained that the MAG dealership would begin work on their building and that they would require temporary additional parking. He said that the applicant's intent was not to create a larger lot for car sales, but to have an area for parking for approximately 145 employees and some vehicle storage overflow during MAG construction. Mr. Hale said the conditional use would allow the Planning and Zoning Commission to place a time limit on the parking lot and that it was intended to be temporary in nature. He explained that the applicant did not feel they would have any issues screening the lot from US 33 now that it was Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission July 17, 2008 Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 26 oriented along Venture Drive. Mr. Hale also explained that access was internal and that there would be no curb cuts onto Venture Drive. Mr. Freimann expressed confusion regarding the temporary nature of the parking lot. He discussed MAG's intentions to expand northward, and questioned whether or not the dealership would be in need of parking spaces after this construction. Mr. Hale Jr. said that the site would meet Code for parking afte~the expansion. He also discussed the need for MAG to relocate its BMW dealership due to future Frantz Road improvements. Mr. Hale said MAG would potentially like to move. BMW to this site. Mr. Walter wanted to clarify that the applicant would vacate=~_he propvs~d.lot when an occupancy permit was issued for the future MAG construction. _Ms. Husak said that it was Planning's impression that parking spaces would still be needed aRer the future construction was complete. Ms. Amoroso Groomes felt that in the future the proposed lot would still be necessary for MAG to meet their parking requirements. She had difficultly labeling the lot as temporary and did not feel it would be logical to construct the lot as a temporary one. Mr. Hale Jr. said that the lot was being proposed as temporary, but that tho-_owner would like~t"o have a permanent lot. Mr. John Oney, of Architectural Alliaric.:~ confirmed that in the end MAG would lose parking spaces. He said that with the proposed future MAG construction and the temporary lot, the site would have 698 spaces. 1~'I.c:~S.~.~~.y predictecl~that this parking not may be sufficient during the business' busiest timcs._,He said that in the long-t~,t~~ge sense~t~ applicant would like this lot to be permanent. Mr. Saneholtz felt that~he applicants were contradicting themselves and at the last meeting had said the lot would be purely temporary in_ nature. lie said that he was now hearing that the applicant might need this lot to be permanent."He=was concerned that if future MAG construction were not to take place, the lot~~~~AUId remain for an extended period of time. Ms. Husak said that this ~~~Id depend on conditions placed on the conditional use concerning future evaluation of the lot. 1VIr. Saneholtz coniirnied that this preliminary plan did not give the applicant permission to construct the lot. Ms. Husak agreed and said that the applicant would need to receive conditional use and final development plan approval from the Commission before the lot could be constructed. Mr. Hale Jr. said the only intention was to give the applicant the right to have the parking lot, and that the temporary or permanent nature of the lot was not as important at this juncture. Mr. Freimarul said he saw a need for additional parking as opposed to a desire for it, and that the lot should possibly be permanent. Dublin Planning and 7_oning Commission July 17, 2008 - Meeting ?vlinutes Page 8 of 26 Ms. Ainorose Groomes felt that it was not environmentally or civically responsible to pave this area and then demolish it in the future. Mr. Walter asked how long the construction would last. Mr. Oney replied that the construction would be a maximum of 18 months. Mr. Hale Jr. explained that the lot was being requested first because it would need to be there before construction on the dealership began. Ms. Amoroso Groomes noted that the Commission wanted to hept~%IAG in their expansion and business, but that their decision needed to be weighed agaitlst the good of the community. She expressed that she would like to see the parking lot constru~t~in a permanent fashion so that it was built right the first time. - .-_ Mr. Walter was disappointed that the leading edge of the business was a parking lot and agreed with Ms. Amoroso Groomes. He said that the lot should be ,pgrmanent and constructed with architectural integrity and well integrated into the res~of the sif;e Mr. Tim Galli of Midwestern Auto -coup reiterated -t~fhe dealership needs extra parking during their future construction. He said~fhat~fter constructi~TT; the parking lot would be tight but that they would not need as many spacers the proposed lo~o,~ild provide. He explained that they would be willing to put a time frame on the lot. He said M'A~°s hope was that they would be permitted to move the BMW dealership to this site. He explained that if the Commission disapproved moving BMW/Mini to the site, they would be forced to disperse their employees and offices. He explained that if this were the- end result, MAG would return the site to its original state. Mr. _~alli said that even if BMW~NIini were to move to the site, they would most likely be forced to rc`rnoue at least f IZy percent of=th~.lot. Mr. Taylor said that there seemed to be agreenr~nt, and that if BMW/Mini were not to move to this site the parking lot could. be used. 1-Ie said if this were the case it should be designed con•ectly now. Nir. Taylor said the current proposal seemed like it could be nothing more than temporary because the remaining frontage in front of US 33 would not be large enough for a Mr. Hale Jr. said they were attcrmpting to respond to the Commission's concern that the lot was too close to US 3'~-~.:~ .= Mr. Taylor said that ifTB1VIW/Mini were to move to this site and the applicant were to request demolition of the parking lot, he would rather this proposal be implemented as opposed to the previous submission. Mr. Walter confirmed that the landscaping details would be presented at the final development plan. Ms. Husak said this was correct. Mr. Walter asked if the applicant owned the property to the east of the site. Mr. Hale Jr. said a MAG dealership entity owned the site under consideration and approximately ten acres around it. Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission July 17, 2008 -Meeting Minutes Page 9 of 26 Ivts. Husak explained which lots were owned by MAG. Mr. Galli confirmed that MAG owned all the land between the existing dealership and l~jationwide Children's Hospital through a company called Brentlinger Real Estate. Mr. Walter said that there was more room for MAG to expand and reiterated that they would like to see the site designed as something more pern~anent. Mr. Oney said that this was difficult due to uncertainty of BWM/Mini's relocation. He explained that there was a good likelihood that BMW/Mini would arrive and use the sites which front on US 33..:He said that much of the changes to the site plan were in response to Commission's continents regarding US 33 frontage. He also discussed the possible architectural style of future buildings and their willingness to screen the parking lot from the highway. Mr. Walter asked how much of the parking lot development. Mr. Oney said fifty percent would nee. this was fifty percent of the proposed lot. Mr. Oney c to be removed and said it in the best scenario theoi Mr. Zimmerman said that if this lot was going to be built fashion.

Mr. Taylor said he we built in the future. llc would be altered rear Id need to be removed for future e removed. Mr. Zimmerman asked if red parts of the lot which would need ;ep it.all. t should be done once in a permanent ievelopment. Mr. Oney said that the ;nture was the best option for future sts and asked again if the lot was potential for this to be a with trees and screening in case nothing is on were to take place along US 33, the lot Steve Langworthy said that it appeared that a conceptual master plan was needed for the rest of the property so that Planning and the Continission could have a better grasp on MAG's vision. Ms. Arn~o~e Groomes expressed conceal that this would be time consuming and delay MAG's business. ngworthy clarified that this plan was only allowing the possibility of parking lot construction a,~is would=~~=ye them time to submit a master plan. Mr. Walter questioned whether or not this parcel was large enough to have adequate screening. Ms. Husak conFrnzed=tliat there was approximately thirty feet and that it there was adequate space. Mr. Hale Jr. said that he felt the best option for a permanent lot was the design presented tonight. Mr. Walter said he was not inclined to support a conditional use and he would prefer the text be changed to allow for a permanent parking lot. Dublin Planning andI.oning Commission July 17, 2008 -Meeting Minutes Page 10 of 26 Mr. I,angworthy explained that the applicant would need to come back later with plans for the lot, and that they were approving the use and not the lot itself. Mr. Freimann expressed that, like Mr. Walter, he would like to approve the lot and not have the applicant come back for a conditional use. M . Husak explained that the conditional use would not necessarily have to tie the use of the lot to a time limit and that the use could simply be approved without a time limit. Mr. Langworthy said that this rezoning would give the applicant the option for a parking lot use. The applicant would then apply for a conditional use and final development plan for the approval of a parking lot. Ms. Amorose Groomes reiterated that when the applicant applies for the conditional use the Commissioners would like to see a plan that is more permanent in nature. _ Mr. Hale Jr. requested that the permeable pavem~itt=~equircmcnt:not be in the rezQ~g due to the significantly higher cost of that type of material and the uncertainty of the permanency of the lot. Mr. Walter questioned whether this issttc should be in a rezoning and suggested it should be in a Final development plan. Mr. Langwor~confirmed tha~fhi"s issue could be addressed in either the conditional use or the final development plan.

Perimeter Center, Subarea D -MAG Parking Lot Venture Drive 03-1122 Rezoning/Preliminary Development Plan Proposal: A stand-alone parking lot to serve an existing car dealership within Subarea D of the Perimeter Center Planned Commerce District, located on the south side of Venture Drive, approximately 800 feet southeast of the intersection with Perimeter Drive. Request: Review and approval of a rezoning/preliminary development plan under the Planned District provisions of Code Section 153.050. Applicant: Iirentlinger Real Estate Co.; represented by Smith and. Hale. Planning Contact: Claudia D. Ilusak, AICP, Planner II. Contact Information: (614} 410-4675; chusak@dublin.oh.us Case Summary This is a request for review and approval of a rezoning (preliminary development plan) for a stand-alone parking lot to serve an existing Midwestern Auto Group (MAG) car dealership within the Perimeter Center Planned Commerce District. The site is located on the south side of Venture Drive, approximately 800 feet southeast of the intersection with Perimeter Drive. "I'he applicant is proposing to rezone 2.21 acres of a 10.1-acre parcel to add vehicle parking as a primary use to the permitted uses of the existing PCD zoning. In Planning's opinion the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding area and approval of this request with two conditions is recommended. Site History 'T'his rezoning application was initially filed in 2003 to allow for an expansion of the MAG operation onto this parcel. The applicant subsequently made modifications to their other dealerships within the City and did not carry forward with this application. Pending approval of proposed modifications to the adjacent MAG dealership, the applicant has indicated a need for additional parking and has revised this application accordingly. Work Session Update The Planning and Toning Commission informally reviewed this proposal at the June 19, 2008 work session and provided feedback regarding the proposed use, location and site details for the proposal. Some Commissioners questioned the need for the Iot after the proposed modifications to the MAG dealership are completed. Other Commissioners urged the applicant to find an alternate location away from the prominent highway frontage. The Commission also discussed Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission .tiny 17, 2008 -Planning Report Application No. 03-1122 -Page 2 of 8 the need for a more environmentally sensitive solution than the proposed pavement. The Commission preferred requiring a conditional use to permit the parking lot tv allow a review of the proposed association with the existing dealership. The applicant has revised the proposed development text, which will require a conditional use for the stand-alone parking lot for employee parking and/or vehicle storage serving the automobile dealership in Subarea J of the Perimeter Center PCD. The preliminary development plan was also revised and the proposed parking lot relocated away from US 33 and along Venture Drive. No alternative pavement material is proposed as part of this application; however, Planning has continued to request that the applicant consider pervious pavement. Site DeSCriptiOn Project Site The site is part of a larger parcel, located south of Venture Drive, immediately east of the existing MAG dealership. The site has approximately 440 feet of frontage along Venture Drive. The land is undeveloped and contains nv significant natural features. Surrounding Sites The site is currently zoned PCD, PIanned Commerce District, as part of the Perimeter Center plan. Lmmediatcly to the west is the existing MAU dealership, which is in Subarea J of the Perimeter Center PCD and to the west is vacant land within Subarea D. Ta the north is the Perimeter Office Centre, also zoned PCD and located within Subarea D. To the south, across US 33 is a medical laboratory zoned, RI, Kestricted Industrial District. Plan Description Ch~erview The proposed rezoning would create a new subarea J-1 to permit astand-alone parking lot and/or vehi~lc storage as a conditional use. The lot would only be permitted to be used in conjunction with the car dealership on the adjacent parcel to the west. Proposed Use The proposed parking lot is intended to complement and supplement the operations of the existing MA(J car dealership during an anticipated building expansion. After the expansion, the applicant anticipates a continued need for inventory vehicle storage on the stand-alone lot. The proposed development text amends the existing Perimeter Center text for Subarea D and creates a new Subarea J-1. In addition to the uses currently permitted in Subarea D (SO, Suburban Office and Institutional uses and OLR, Office, Laboratory and Research uses), the proposed text permits astand-alone 191-space parking lot for employee parking and vehicle storage tv serve the dealership located in Subarea J as a conditional use. Site Luyout The preliminary development plan proposes to create a new 2.21-acre, rectangular parcel with a majority of its frontage along Venture Drive. The plan indicates 19l parking and storage spaces, Dublin Planning and Toning Commission Juty 17, 2008 -Planning Report Application No. 03- I l2L -Page 3 of 8 3G fewer spaces than previously proposed. Access to the lot is limited to two internal drives from the MAG dealership to the west. 7~e preliminary development plan indicates a 30-foot setback along the southern property line, a l0-foat setback along the eastern property line and a 25-foot setback along Venture llrive to the north. No setback between the western property line and the MAG dealership site is indicated. The proposed plan and text limits the use of the parking lot to employee parking and vehicle inventory storage. No vehicular display for sales purposes is permitted. Utilities/Stormwater Management Utility service is not needed for the parking lot. An eight-inch sanitary line on the south side of Venture Drive and a 12-inch waterline on the north side of Venture Drive are available for any future buildings. The applicant will be responsible for complying with the City's Stormwater Management and Stream Protection Ordinance. Since they are disturbing an area greater than one acre, they will also need to comply with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's (OEPA) National Pollutant Discharge F,limination System Permit -Authorization for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity. Therefore, the applicant will need to provide a post construction Best Management Practice (BMP) for the increase in impervious area. OEPA does not currently recognize pervious pavements as apost-construction BMP, but Engineering is confident that the applicant can utilize pervious pavement in conjunction with an acceptable BMP that will satisfy OEI'A, Engineering and Planning. Landscaping The plan appears to accommodate vehicular use area screeiung and interior landscaping for the parking and storage lot and the final details will have to be provided at the final development plan stage. SECTION [I -REVIEW STANDARDS: Rezoning/Preliminary Development Plan "I'he purpose of the PUD process is to encourage imaginative architectural design and proper site planning in a coordinated and comprehensive manner, consistent with accepted land plaruiing, landscape architecture, and engineering principles. The PUD process can consist of up to three stages: 1) Concept Plan (Staff, Commission, and/or City Council review and comment); 2) Zoning Amendment Request (Preliminary Development Plan; Commission recommends and City Council approves/denies); and 3} Final Development Plan (Commission approves/denies}. The general intent of the preliminary development plan (rezoning) stage is to determine the general layout and specific zoning standards that will guide development. The Planning and Zoning Commission must review and make a recommendation on this preliminary development plan (rezoning} request. The application will then be returned to City Council for a public Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Juiy 17, 2008 -Planning Report Application No. U3-112L -Page 4 of 8 hearing and final vote. Atwo-thirds vote of City Council is required to override a negative recommendation by the Commission. If approved, the rezoning will become effective 30 days following the Council vote. Additionally, all portions of the development will require final development plan approval by the Commission prior to construction. Evaluation and Recommendation based on Rezoning/Preliminary Development Plan Criteria Section 153.050 of the Zoning Code identities criteria far the review and approval for a Rezoning/Preliminary Development Plan. ~ These criteria are summarized in the following categories and may be in a different order than listed in the Code: Adopted Policies and Plans (Criteria 1, 2, 3, and 4): The proposed development is consistent with the Dublin toning Code; is in conformity with the Community Plan; advances the general welfare of the Ciry; and the proposed uses are appropriately located in the City so that the use and value ofproperry within and adjacent to the area will be safeguarded. Criteria are met: The Future I;and Use Plan of the Community Plan identities the land use for this site as "Premium Office," which promotes high visibility offices, and is intended to serve as major employers. It is Planning's opinion that the proposed use in its current configuration will allow further development to meet the "Premium Ot~ice" designation of the Community Plan. Parks and Open Space (Criteria 5 and 6): The proposed residential development will have sufficient open space areas that meet the objectives of the ~;ommuniry Plan,- and the proposed development respects the unique characteristic of the natural features and protects the natural resources of the site.

D, MAG Parlang Lot Vulture Drive Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission June 19, 2008 -Minutes Page 5 of 10 5. Perimeter Center, Subarea D -MAG Parking Lot Venture Drive d3-1122 Rezoning/Preliminary Development Plan Claudia Husak presented this request for an informal review of a pending rezoning/preliminary development plan for astand-alone parking lot to serve the existing Midwestern Auto Group (MAG) campus. She explained that the application had been submitted in 2003, and then the applicant's development priorities shifted and the case had been placed on hold until recently. She said the site has frontage on U.S. 33 and it is currently undeveloped and has no significant natural features. Ms. Husak said the Perimeter Center Planned Commerce District, stretches from Avery- Muirfield Drive on the west past Emerald Parkway on the east. She said the applicant is proposing to amend part of Subarea D, which is the office portion of this development. Ms. Husak said the applicant is proposing to roll Subarea D into the MAG campus and create a new subarea, Subarea J-l. She said the existing MAG campus has two buildings and an application has been filed for ati expansion of the use on that site which has prompted the applicant to move forward on this parking lot to provide employee parking and to allow for continued vehicle storage. Ms. Husak said that the vehicle storage is necessary while the MAG site is under construction and later on because they intend to add another building which would take out some parking spaces and require additional space for inventory storage. Ms. Husak pointed out that the Commission is really looking at the stand-alone parking lot being a permitted use within the subarea. She said that landscaping and other details will be worked out when the applicant returns to the Commission for a final development plan. Ms. Husak said that the current permitted uses are those listed under the SO, Suburban Office and Institutional District, acid the OLR, Office, Laboratory, and Research District, in the Zoning Code. Ms. Husak highlighted the design. details of the proposed preliminary development plan. She said that the development text proposes that There wilt be no display spaces on this site and no vehicle sates, reserving this lot for inventory and employee parking only. Ms. Husak said PIanning has provided two points for discussion. Each point is italicized below and Commission comments fallow.] Ben Hale, Jr., Smith and Hale, representing the applicant, said the existing zoning would allow this parcel to be used as a conditional use because it states that afree-standing parking lot is permitted in association with a permitted use. He said Planning did not agree on this point, so they are proposing to add this use to the underlying zoning. Ile said they were leaving the zoning exactly the same, except they would like to allow the stand-alone parking lot as a permitted use. Mr. Hale said an amended f nal development plan had been approved for the adjacent site, but MAG has not gone forward with it. He said they have filed a second amended final development plan which they think is a substantial upgrade from the previously approved plan. He said that because they are now in a position where they have to rezone to add this use, they want to have the lot built when construction on the MAG site begins. Mr. Hale said that in order to maintain their development schedule, they need the informal review tonight and when the rezoning application returns to the Commission for a decision, the Commission will have also seen the amended final development plan to consider before a vote is taken on the rezoning. ~3-112I Rerorvn~I'a;limu~ary Development Plan Perilnda-Centar,Subarea D,MAG Parking r ~t Dublin Planning and 'Zoning Commission June 19, 2008 -Minutes Page 6 of 10 Elite Freimann said that if and when the other proposal for the MAG site is approved, he would have no problem supporting an off-site parking lot for inventory and employees. Mr. Freimann said he could not support paving 2.8 acres of grass until it is confirmed that they are going to go ahead with the expansion. Mr. Hale said that if MAG does not do the expansion, they will not need the parking lot. He said they were in total agreement with Mr. Freimann, but because they had to do an informal review of the proposed parking lot first, the development timeline was stretched out. Mr. Zimmerman invited those present who wished to discuss this case to come forward. [No one came forward.] Ms. Amorose Groomes asked how many parking spaces were presently on the MAG site and how many spaces will be removed when the proposed construction is complete. John Oney, Architectural Alliance, said there are now 650 parking spaces, and after the construction, there will be 200 Icss_ He said they needed alternative parking in place prior to removing the existing spaces. He explained that they will end up with 512 parking spaces on the MAG site when the proposed construction is complete. Mr. Saneholtz confirned that 138 spaces will be lost in the final formation. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if this property is currently owned by the dealership, and if there are other properties in this general vicinity owned by the dealership. Mr. Hale said that the when the dealership was built, the property was owned by the dealership, but it has since been sold and the dealership is now leasing it. The dealership does, however, own the land where the parking lot is proposed. Mr. llale said they also lease and control the property on Post Road where the BMW dealership is located. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if there was any intention of building future dealerships in Subarea D, adjacent to U.S. 33. Mr. Hale said the current BMW dealership location on Post Road is inadequate according to BMW standards and it will eventually need to move. He said that they would like to relocate to this site some day, and the parking lot would no longer be needed at that point. Ms. Amorose Groomes said she would prefer to see car storage for all of the dealerships on the vacant property between Venture Drive and Perimeter Drive instead, which would not be as highly visible from U.S. 33. She said that if a lot is going to be built for vehicle storage, she thought it needed to be environmentally sensitive and include a permanent pen~ious surface which would help with lot coverage and storm water issues. She suggested that the applicants figure out what they are going to do and then build something that would be more environmentally friendly than three acres of asphalt. She indicated that this site should be saved for something that might be more aesthetically pleasing than a parking lot. Mr. Saneholtz asked. if there was a reason why this parcel has not been combined with the existing dealership parcel to the west. Mr. Hale answered that the two parcels had different owners, so they can not be combined at this time. Does the Comtnission support permitting an off-site, stand-alone parking and storage lot developed in association with a permitted use us described in the proposed development text? 03-1127, RezoningJPnelimn~tiy Development P)<v~ PaitmderCenter, Subatra D, MAG Paticing [,~t Dublin Planning and 7.oning Commission June l9, 200A -Minutes Page 7 of 10 Would the Commission prefer requiring a co~:ditional use approval for astand-alone parking lot to allow for time restrictions? Ivlr. Saneholtz said this proposal seemed to be at best an anticipated and temporary use, and therefore, if it was temporary in nature, he preferred a conditional use. He said that a conditional use would give the City an equal aniount of flexibility as the applicant in reacting to what ultimately happens to the MAG campus, rather than making a permanent zoning change. Mr. Saneholtz said that he wanted the City to be abte to retain the ability to discontinue the parking lot after a certain period of time to allow something to develop that might more appropriate for the location. Ms. Husak pointed out that the applicant would he able to combine a conditional use application with the final development plan application due to the sensitive timing of the project. Mr. Zimmerman asked for clarification why a rezoning was necessary. Ms. Husak said that a text revision is being proposed. She said that the Zoning Code states that all auto-oriented uses, including stand-alone parking lots, are conditional uses. She said that the caveat is that they must be in association with a permitted use, and on this site, there would not be a permitted use. Ms. Husak said that dealerships are not one of the permitted uses in the current zoning for Subarea D in which the parking lot is currently proposed. Mr. Hale said that because the Code said that they could have astand-alone parking lot in association with a permitted use like which the MAG dealership, they have the ability to ask the Commission for a conditional use, but Planning did not agree with him. He said that the applicant would rather not rezone this pazecl, but their only solution is to add this use to the underlying zoning in order to complete the development in a timely fashion. Mr. Hale said that everything else in the zoning classification remains the same. Mr. Langworthy said that Mr. Saneholtz had identified the relevant point -the fact that this is a separate parcel and is not owned by the same property owner. He said that this is what made the case to rezone this property to allow astand-alone parking lot a conditional use. Ms. Amoroso Groomes said that even if a parking lot was a permitted use, she did not know that what she saw on the plan reflects what has been demanded of development along the U.S. 33 Corridor for every other tenant regarding setbacks, screetung, and parking behind the building. She said that she felt astand-along parking lot is not visually acceptable- Mr. Saneholtz said that he agreed with Ms. Amoroso Groomes' comments. He said he preferred the conditional use because it would allow some sort of time limitation on the usage. Ms. Amoroso Groomes said that having a place to store; cars is always an issue with dealerships. She said that although there may be a time limit placed on the parking lot, the need for vehicle storage will remain. Ms. Amarosc Groomes predicted that there may be a need for another parking lot in the future, and she did not know if developing a temporary parking lot in the meantime was terribly responsible. Mr. Hale said the BMW dealership will need to relocate, and that the applicants will work with the Commission to propose an acceptable dealership with adequate parking. IIc said that they will mound and landscape this proposed tot so that the vehicles are not visible from U.S. 33. He 0:;-1122 Rcronin~liminaty Devclolxnent Plain PctimeterCcnter, Stibat~D, MAG 1'atlang Lot T~,.,fi ...~, T~.:. ,~ Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission June 19, 2008 -Minutes Page 8 of !0 said the parking lot will eventually no longer be needed and the land will be integrated into the overall plan. John Oney, Architectural Alliance, said BMW may be ready to submit an informal application within a few months. Mr. SanehoItz asked if he were inclined to allow the parking lot on a conditional use basis, and based on the temporary nature of the conditional use, how many yeazs were needed. Mr. Hale reiterated that BMW's lease expires in 2011. Mr. Saneholtz confirmed that athree-year limitation on the conditional use may fulfill the business needs. Mr. Freimann said that he was uncomfortable discussing these things with so many moving parts. He said that he did not want to tie the Commission's decision to the idea that BMW is definitely going to end up relocating there. Mr. Hale said that that was fine with them and that they would make the parking lot invisible from the freeway. He pointed out that many Dublin dealerships do not have their cars on the lots where they do business. He said They are often stored off-premise, which is not a very efficient way to run a business. Ms. Amoroso Groomes said she would not be supportive of the proposed parking lot location. However, she said that she realized the need for remote parking and car storage and she was empathetic to that need. She said that there are better long term and more environmenlally responsible ways to achieve that end without locating the parking lot as proposed. She reiterated she wanted to keep pace with the work that has been done to preserve that U.S. 33 corridor and work with the applicant to provide alternatives that would be more suitable and beneficial to both the City and the business owner. Warren Fishman noted that this site was zoned SO, Suburban Office and Institutional District, and recalled that when the development originally came before the Commission and City Council, they were apprehensive about changing the zoning to allow a car dealership. He pointed out that it may be assumed that a BMW dealership will be located here, but the zoning for that subarea is SO and OLR, Office, Laboratory, and Research District, and therefore intended for development that would generate revenue for the City of Dublin. He recalled that one of the concerns was that this corridor could tum into a giant auto mall on Dublin's very attractive revenue-generating U.S. 33 corridor. Mr. Fishman said he, like Ms. Amoroso Groomes, was apprehensive about going down that road, and at This point, he did not want to make the decision to allow another car dealership here. Mr. Hale said that this was exactly the same use and zoning text, but they are asking for a conditional use for this parking lot. He said that they were not asking to put a dealership here. Richard Taylor said that if the stand-alone parking lot were permitted as a conditional use with a time limit on it, he would be apprehensive about making the time linked to a future dealership Three years away_ He said he thought it should be linked to the need for the temporary parking lot. Mr. Fishman said that he was not enthused about paving the 2.8 acres of undeveloped land. He said that it would be a challenge to completely screen the lot. Mr. Litnmerman agreed that if a conditional use was requested, there should be a tune limitation o~->iizz Rezptvn~linnittary Developmea~t Pla~~ PEritneter Cattc~, Subarea D, MAG Parking Lot Venture Drive Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission June 19, 2008 -Minutes Page 9 of 10 Mr. Freimann said that he was against a specific three-year limitation because he wondered what would happen in three years when the applicant returns. He asked if the applicant will be made to jack-hammer it up. Several Commissioners agreed. Ms. Amorose Groomes said that it is a hardship that would be placed on a corporate citizen. Mr. Saneholtz pointed out that the applicant would have the right to agree or disagree with the time limitation, and it is a business decision that will need to be made now. He said that the minutes of that meeting are going to have to reflect that in no uncertain terms, so that the next Commissioners can hold them to that decision. He said that he could not believe that the financial hardship of tearing up the parking lot would be more than building it. Mr. Hale said that it would be nowhere near the hardship it would be to not have the lot while the MAG site is undergoing construction. Mr. Freimann questioned how removing the parking lot in three years would benefit anyone if an office building were built at that point. Ms. Amorose Groomes pointed out that the temporary parking lot would not meet the green principles they say the City is trying to promote. Mr. Langworthy concluded by saying that Planning had a sense of the points that needed to be discussed and asked to meet with the applicant to develop some additional contingencies and options to provide something more concrete to choose from when the applicant returns to the Commission for a decision. He said that there may be ways of satisfying many of their concerns. Mr. Zimmerman closed this Work Session by thanking everyone for their discussion. 03-112L Rezonin~l'reliminary Develapn~ent Plan Perimeter Center, Subarea D, MAG Parking l:ot Venture Ihive PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECORD OF ACTION JUNE 16, 20(15 ..C1TY OF U11liLiN The Planning and 7.oning Commission took the following action at this meeting: 6.

Ms. Adkins presented the case. The site is located north of 33/161 and east of Avery/Muirfield. The site is south of Peruneter Drive, consisting of 14 acres, zoned PCD, as part of the Perimeter Center plan, Subarea J, zoned for an auto dealership.

She stated that Council wanted to ensure that the remaining acreage wasn't all auto dealerships. Ms. Adkins responded that this site, Subarea J, was rezoned specifically for auto dealerships. She did not have a copy of the deed restrictions. Ms. Boring thanked Ms. Adkins, and wanted to clarify for the record, what land the requirement spoke to. Mr_ Gerber agreed to clarify the requirement about the deed restriction. Christopher Cline, Attorney, responded that this requirement was in the original conditions. To his knowledge that landowner never pul any additional deed restrictions on the land. MAG does own an additional 10 acres along State Route lbl/(1_S_ 33. Ms. Boring asked if Mr. Cline knew what the acreage included Mr. Cline answered no. The land was not originally zoned for auto dealerships. If we rezone more land, Council and the Commission will have to approve the change. Ms. Boring stated she did know there was considerable concern about Route 33 appearing like an automall. Mr. Cline explained that MAG owns an additional l0 acres east of the site. Eventually we may ask for this to be expanded with another pod, so it will be addressed at that time. Mr. Gerber stated that this was not an issue tonight. Mr. Cline clarified that there is not a deed restriction that prohibits it. Ms. Boring repeated that there are no decd restrictions, as was required by City Council. Ms. Adkins described the proposed site plan for the expansion. 1)The existing Land Rover Building is just over 7,000 square feet and with the addition is 18,000 square feet. The rear of the building will enclose the service bays and the southwest portion of the building will have additional interior display, and the proposed sky bridge, the elevations which you have in your packet. 'T'here are minor modifications to the front along the main drive, and to the storage parking in the rear. The Land Rover sign will remain unchanged. The overhead service entrance will be enclosed with art overhead door. There is another central entrance proposed and a western entrance with a Jaguar sign. Materials and colors will be to match the existing building, including the dark tinted glass, and stucco. 2)The proposed sky walk will be elevated above the ground and extend out over the take, beginning at the first floor elevation of the proposed addition, and finishing at the second 03-1122 Rezonin~Ptcliminary Devel~nent Plan Perimeter Center, SubareaD, MAG Parking I.:nt Ventlu~eIhive Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -June 16, 2t?OS Page 12 floor elevation of the existing buildng. The applicant is proposing similar materials to the addition, and dark tinted glass. 3)The existing Land Rover sign wilt be resurfaced with the addition. There is a proposed sign for the center entrance with MAG lettering over the doors. Staff has conditioned that this sign be removed_ The third proposed sign is for the Jaguar entrance. Staff' has also conditioned that the proposed statue be removed. Renderings of the proposed addition were shown. Staff is recommending approval of this application, with the conditions noted in the Staff Report. There are Amended Conditions. Condition 3 was amended to include the word "exterior" in terms of color, lenses, and the lighting, and Condition 6 was stricken. Mr. Gerber clarified Condition 6 was stricken because it is a Code issue. Ms. Adkins agreed and stated that it is a Code Enforcement issue. Mr. Gerber asked Steven Smith i f this was correct_ Mr. Smith confirmed this was correct. He indicated they had reviewed the project related to what was originally built. The current proposal may comply with Code. There is a landscape height issue, but it is a Code Enforcement issue that will be addressed. Mr. Gerber restated that the Commission does not have to concern itself with that particular landscape issue. Mr_ Smith agreed. Ms. Boring asked why that vas. Mr. Smith, replied that this site has interesting conditions placed on it by the Planning and Zoning Commission originally. It was clear that because of the unique design, the Landscaping requirements of the Code would not apply. City Council, at the rezoning, dictated the landscape plan. The applicant has met all of the requirements. Ms. Boring disagreed with that assessment. Mr. Smith stated that the landscape plan was submitted to Council as part of the text and has the plants labeled. Ms. Boring replied that it says we would not see all the cars on those fingers, that we would only see the cars at the top of the fingers. Mr. Smith said when you listen to the minutes, 1 don't know that it's that clear. The plant material was specifically named and written in and that is the plant material that they have out there. 03-1122 Rewnin~clintinary Development Plan Peiinteter Cerrter, Subarea D, MAG Packing Lot Venture Drive Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -June 16, 2005 Pagc 13 Mr. Gerber clarified that new landscaping will be reviewed tonight. With respect to existing landscaping, that's a Code issue. This situation is no different from other applications. Maybe Dann [Bird can report back to us at a subsequent meeting as to the progress. Mr. Smith added that the site is between 85% and 90% in compliance, and 10% of the plant material has been trimmed down. That is a Code Enforcement matter that we wit! address. Mr. Gerber agreed. Ms. Boring asked again, about the expansion rule in the Landscape Code. Mr. Smith said the Code does provide requirements if the expansion is more than 25%, however, the site adheres to the text of the Planned District. Ms. Adkins responded that staff had discussed this matter and determined that if there is an expansion of 25% or more, the entire site must be brought into compliance with Code. However, this site had a specifically approved landscape plan at the rezoning that they have followed, and we wanted to bring them back into compliance with that plan, and that has become a Code Enforcement issue. Ms. Boring said the Commissioners had not reviewed the minutes and the history. She was interested in seeing the original landscaping plan presented to the Commission to compaze it with what was planted. She said it was a problem if it did not meet Code. Mr. Smith responded that the landscaping will be brought into compliance. Mr. Gerber asked Mr_ Smith why Condition G should not be a part of this application Mr. Smith replied that Condition 6 requires a revised landscaping plan to be submitted. He said the landscaping is already in compliance with what Council specifically directed them to use. l ie suggested the condition state: That the existing landscaping material meet Code. Mr. Gerber agreed with Mr. Hate's suggested Condition 6. That existing landscape plans be brought into compliance with approved plan, subject to staff approval. Ms. Boring asked for clarification about the difference between the Landscaping section of the report and this condition. She wanted to ensure that the requirements of the Code were being met. Mr. Gerber said he believed the new condition discussed will address all that. Ms. Boring asked if that included the uplighting to comply with the intent of Code and to improve the appearance. 03-1127, Re~r_oning~Preliminary Development Plan Perurx~- Cent, Subaru D, MAG Pang Lot Ventu~ Drive Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -June 16, 2005 Page 14 Ms. Adkins responded yes. With the display lighting, the issue is that it is still visible. That would be part of the Code compliance staff would remedy at a later date, to make sure that the lighting is screened_ Ms_ Boring asked what the language should reflect. Mr. Gerber responded that the existing landscape plans should be brbught into compliance. Mr. Smith stated that the existing landscape, at the direction of staff, be brought into compliance with the original-text. Ms. Boring inquired about the plant height within the approved vehicular display area_ Mr. Gerber wanted the language to be broad enough to cover all. Mr. Smith stated that the plants that Council directed them to plant, are never going to grow to the desired height. Ms. Boring added that it would help if they weren't trimmed. Mr. Smith noted that that is a Code Enforcement matter. It's only in certain areas that they are not tall enough. It does match what was directed as part of their text. Mr. Gerber repeated that if they let the plants grow it will be in compliance. Ms. Boring asked Mr. Smith what was the problem with leaving the condition in for plant height. Mr. Smith explained that the plants are not going to meet tl-e 1-1/2-foot tall height required by Code. They aze though, the plants approved by City Council as a part of the text. Ms_ Jones noted that the report talks about replacing missing trees. She wanted to know where those trees are going to be replaced on the site. Mr_ Bird said the existing landacape pretty broadly complies with the approved plan. Mr. Gerber suggested the lanuguage "The existing landscape, at staff's direction, be brought into compliance with the original text." We'll just make that Condition 6. Ms. Boring added that she was part of prior Council and knows what the idea was that was presented, and. what we thought we were getting. Mr. Gerber asked Ms. Boring if the language that Dann Bird just read was acceptable. 03-1127, R~conin~Preliminary Ikvelopnx~i Plan Perimetc~-Center, Subarea D, MAG Pariang Lot Venture Ihive Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -June 16, 2405 Page 1 S Mr. Bird restated, "That the existing landscaping be brought into compliance with the approved plan." Ms. Boring agreed. Mr. Christopher Cline asked if the Commission would like a complete presentation, or questions only. Mr. Gerber polled the Commission and they decided to ask questions in the azeas of concern and interest and through that process the presentation will be made. Mr. Cline represented the applicant, with Dick Pryor and Tim Graliey, from MAG; also, John Oney and Ed Parish from Architectural Alliance. Mr. Cline noted that when this campus was zoned in 1997, it was after changes took place in Perimeter Center. That was going to be an enclosed mall, and it fumed into a different vision. The Council's direction was that the Commission considered the rezoning, developed the rezoning text and approved it. It also considered all parts of the development plan, including the landscaping plan, the architecture, and the grading. Only after fhe Planning and Zoning Commission had approved both the rezoning and the development plan did it go to Council for action on the rezoning. It went before Council twice and issues were added to the text. Council. got involved in specifying particular cultivars of some of the plants, and having a landscape drawing that they incorporated into the revised text. The original text included a requirement that we would create "A striking, noteworthy and innovative architecture and site design." Mr. Oney, architect, asked the Commission if they had any questions. He could describe the total project, including the review of our reasons and the design, and the specifics of the plan. The booklets and a powerpoint presentation encompass some specific detail, along with overviews of the model, and renderings. Mr. Gerber indicated they would go to specific questions. lie suggested that they start with the overall layout and design, and address those issues and questions. The other issues, like the signs, staff has addressed. I understand that the applicant has agreed to those changes. Ms. Reiss had a question regarding the bridge connection between the two sections of the campus and why it needed to be elevated at the existing building. Mr. Oney responded that the main building second floor elevation is at 12 feet, and the showroom pods that are existing are at 12 feet, which is the main corridor level. When we go to the Land Rover building, that showroom elevation is at grade. The only way to connect this from the main showroom level on the concourse, is at the 12-foot level. tt is the same height as the existing showrooms. Ms. Reiss asked if the reason for the sky bridge was to connect showroom to showroom 03-1122 Rr~;onin~Preliminary DeveloprnExlt Plan Perimder Center, Subama D, MAG Packing Int VenturE Drive Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes --June 15, 2005 Page 16 Mr. Oney agreed. The lower level in the main building is a Rolls-Royce showroom. The main emphasis and what MAG is trying to achieve is to sell you something you don't need. They're expensive products and in a very unusual setting, and to do that, they've created an environment that really is unmatched in the auto industry and pretty unique. The intent is, when you get to these showrooms and go through this concourse, you can embark and be encouraged through, this connectivity to go from that retail environment to all 15 marquis. Ms. Reiss confirmed that because the showrooms in the existing facility are on the second floor, the elevation of the bridge changes. Mr. Oney agreed. Ms. Reiss replied that was fine, and it explained why there's an elevation change, and what she needed to know. She had one other question for staff. The Staff Report states that the applicant is going to sufficiently screen the overhead service doors. However, staff would also like to see partially opaque, or dazk tinted glass. She believed this should be conditioned. Ms. Adkins responded that it should be a condition. Ms. Reiss said she felt it should be a condition. The overhead doors in the service area either use partially opaque or dark tinted glass to further screen the interior surface uses. Mr. Oney stated they were in agreement with that and plan to use the dark tinted glass, which is existing in the Land Rover facility. We've reduced the service doors from nine to five, and used the dark tinted glass. We have some visual contact to a customer out in the reception doors. The service doors are screened to Code. There are currently seven doors that view directly into the heavy-duty lifts that service the heavy-duty vehicles, and we have eliminated those seven doors. Now we have two entrance points that go to an aisleway and tinted the glass. We've done additional screening as well. Ms. Reiss asked if that's what staff wanted to see done. Ms. Adkins agreed. Mr. Gerber stated that they needed a condition. Mr. Cline said that when the Land Rover building was done it was the second part of the project and the design was largely dictated by Land Rover. band Rover has been acquired by Ford Motor Company, which also owns Astin-Martin and Jaguar, and they arc integrating that building into the overall look of the complex. Mr_ 7.immerman said he really liked the plan. It's unique in the marketing of a lot of different brands. It's a beautiful layout, and they've done a really nice job. O;i-l 12Z Rer_oning~limu~myDevelopment Plan Perimeter C.a~ter, Subarea D, MAG Packing Lot Venhac; Drive Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -June 16, 2005 Page 17 Mr. Oney responded that they had 250 feet from building-to-building, plus a corridor behind the administrative wing to begin the swooping curving path with three visual cues. Mr. Zimmerman stated that each brand would have a space. He seated the internaVexternal setup is nice. Mr. Gerber asked about the landscaping. Ire this model there are a tot of trees. In time there would be a nice canopy all though there, so I know what Cathy's talking about because in part you do see an awful lot right now. Thal's in some respects unfortunate, but over time that's going to cure itself with these trees as they grow. I would image that's the whole intent of the Landscaping package that's before us. Ms. Adkins stated that the landscaping for the site was installed in 1997-98. Over time it will mature. Mr. Oney added they will be relocating pine trees and will be adding 52 evergreens as screening. We'll also be adding six shade trees, 10 evergreen trees and 10 replacement trees. Ms. Boring asked about the replacement of 23 inches of trees on the site. These trees screen the storage parking area and the applicant has added a row of evergreen shrubs to meet this requirement. This may be a problem of replacing trees with shrubs. Ms. Adkins responded that the Code requires 3-1/3 feel in height of screening. The original Development Plan included the larger trees. When they are removed, to comply with Code, they added shrubs. Mr. Oney added that the replacement trees are located in the interior and are designated on the plan. Ms. Boring asked if the trees that they are planting in the parking area are required. Ms. Adkins replied those are required as replacement trees. Ms. Boring noted that the plan is removing parking places. She thought there are a lot of filled parking places. I assume the applicants and staff are comfortable with the removing of those parking places. Mr. Oney stated that approximately 98 parking spaces would be removed, but that parking would not be a problem. Mr. Gerber inquired about staff s solutions if a parking problem exists in the future. Ms. Adkins indicated that this situation would be a Cade F.,nforcement issue and if staff noted a parking problem, the applicant would be requested to add parking in the future. 03-112"L IZ~roning/13raunir~vyDevelopment Plan Perimeter- C,enier, Subarea D, MAG Parking Lot Vea~uu Drive Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -June 1 G, 2005 Page 1 g Mr. Cline noted that the parking spaces aze typically used for storage, not customers Ms. Boring asked about the location of the evergreen shrubs screening the storage parking azea. Ms. Adkins indicated that additional evergreens wilt be planted underneath the skywalk to screen the pazking area. Ms. Boring asked about the changes to the pond. Mr. Oney indicated that the pond will stay intact, but that some of the caissons will extend into the pond requiring minor pond adjustments. Ms. Boring said the landscaping on site looks gorgeous and has matured well in the short time it has been there. Mr. Gerber reiterated that the applicant had agreed to removing the proposed Jaguaz statue and MAG wall sign. He asked i f there were other signage questions. Ms. Boring inquired if the Land Rover sign would be modified. Mr. Cline replied that this sign would undergo a refacing, but that the color, size and height would remain the same. He stated chat if Land Rover was no longer the tenant of that structure, that green color would be removed from the sign. Mr. Oney also noted that the Land Rover sign would undergo a refacing. Mr. Gerber asked if the applicant agrees to the conditions including the elimination of the Jaguar statue. Mr. Oney agreed, saying that they will remove the MAG sign, and the "Leaper," the chrome ornament. Ms. Jones commented that the sky walk really unifies the campus, and it seems to be consistent with the look. She had no further questions. Mr. Gerber determined there were no other questions from the Commissioners. lIe stated that the text required this development to be "something noteworthy, striking and innovative," and the proposal meets those requirements. Ms. Boring asked for a recap of the actual approval. Ms. Adkins explained that the proposed MAG sign and the Jaguar statue sign will be removed, leaving only the JAGUAR copy on the building. So what will remain is the glass- 03-112L RezAlnllg/Pt>r}nnlitiuy Develc>lxxnent P1:~1 PaimderCenter,Subat~aD,MAG Parlang I~clt Venture Drive Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -June 16, 2005 Page 19 enclosed entrance. This is the middle entrance - no sign. The second part of our condition asks that the statue above the Jaguar sign be removed so that all there will be is the Jaguar lettering above the door. Ms_ Boring inquired about the size of this sign_ Ms. Adkins replied that the sign measures 22 square feet. Ms. Boring requested the removal of the phrase "subject to staff approval" from Condition 2. Mr. Gerber agreed_ He asked if any of the Commissioners had additional questions. Hearing none, he asked if the applicant agreed with the eight condtions. Mr. Cline asked for a recap of the additional conditions. Mr. Gerber replied with respect to condition 2, it was modified to eliminate the phrase "subject to staff approval." Condition 6 was amended to read "That existing landscape plans be brought into compliance with approved plan;" and that Condition 7 remains the same. Ms. Reiss stated Condition 8 should read "Service doors need to be partially opaque or dark tinted glass to further screen interior service uses." Mr. Gerber thanked Ms. Reiss and asked Mr. Cline ifthe conditions were acceptable. Mr_ Cline responded yes, we agree to them. Mr. Gerber made a motion To approve this Amended Final Development Plan because the proposed addition generally meets the text and PUD requirements, the applicant has worked with staff to address issues related to the addition and, the proposal will allow for the expansion of a successful business with the addition of high quality architecture and site design, with eight conditions: 1} That additional information be submitted regarding proposed lighting for the skywaik to ensure compliance with the Dublin Exterior Lighting Guidelines, subject to staff approval; 2) That the proposed Jaguar statue and MAG wall sign be eliminated from the plans and elevations; 3) That no colored lenses be used for any exterior lightuig on site; 4) That atl utility connections and/or extensions meet or exceed the requirements and standards of the Engineering Division; 5) That the applicant indicate text compliance far parking should staff determine there is a parking problem on site, subject to staff approval; fi) That existing landscape plans be brought into compliance with the approved plan; 7) The site stormwater management is in compliance with the current Stormwater Regulations, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer; and Q3-1127, Reronin~Prelirrur~aryDevelopTnent Plan Paiinc~' Casa-, S~ilku~ea D, MAG Pariong Lot Venture Drive Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -June i 6, 2005 Page 20 8) That overhead doors utilize either partially opaque or dark tinted glass to further screen the interior service uses.

She asked if that would not pertain t ors from these rests ts. , Ms. Readl said the odor would ha to reach the level of a rsance, which is some g that would end a reasonable erso . Jamie Adkins said this site is located in west-central Dublin, just north of SR 161 and east of Avery-Muirfield Drive. She showed slides of the site. The site has frontage on four public rights-of--way: Perimeter Loop, Venture Drive, Perimeter Drive, and SR;161. Perimeter Center 'is located to the west. The site is zoned PCD, Planned Commerce District in Subarea J of the Perimeter Center plan. All adjaceat properties are zoned PCD. The area to be modified is at the main entrance of the site on Perimeter Loop Road_ Proposed changes are minor and include a pedestrian pathway and modifications to the doors and windows on the north eIevation_ A small retaining wail will also be added to the existing pond, and a couple of trees will be relocated because of the pathway. The replacement door will be closed except when vehicles aze driven inside the building. Ms. Adkins said the applicant would Iike to have the ability to switch out a second window with the same type of door if maneuvering problems arise. The north side of the building will be modified. Ms_ Adkins said staff is reconunending approval of this development plan with six conditions as listed in the staffreport, adding a seventh condition: 1} That vehicular display be prohibited on the proposed path and be noted as such on all plans, subject to staff approval; 2) That no colored tenses be used for any lighting on site; 3) That the proposed modifications comply with applicable Storrnwater Regulations, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer; 4) That revised plans be submitted if a second door is required, subject to staff approval; 5) That proposed new signage be submitted that is directional in nature, subject to staff approval; 6) That relocated trees be replaced on an inch-per-inch basis if they die within five years, subject to staff approval; and 7) That the applicant utilize a rock that is more aesthetically suitable, subject to staffapproval. Mr. Gerber said this is a request to revise a previously approved development plan in the PCD. Because the type of uses and other general development are not proposed to change, the previously approved composite plan remains valid.

(Approv G-0_) Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -March 4, 2004 Page 22 is being revised to address exterior architectural and site modifications to an existing car dealership sates azea. The Commission is to base approval on conformity to the approved composite plan. Christopher T. Cline, Jr., representing the applicant, said he wanted the Commission to be aware of the contribution that MAG makes to Dublin's economy. Through City income taxes, personal property taxes, and real property taxes in 2003, MAG contributed approximately $741,000 to the community. They are a significant corporate citizen of Dublin. He said when this campus was built, it was the sponsor of a ten-year TIF that made area improvements such as Venture Drive. He said the original improvements were paid off in six years- The TIF is not being reused to provide improvements outside the initial area. Mr. Cline said this would be the only Rolls Royce dealership in Ohio. It is now owned by BMW, and the Phantom model retails for approximately $325,000. The clientele is very exclusive and expects to have a high quality environment when purchasing a car. The showroom must be exclusive for Rolls Royce. John Oney, Architectural Alliance, architect for this project, briefly described the modifications. He said there wilt be only one or two vehicles on site at any time. One will be in the showroom and the other in the shop area for test drives. Interior alterations will be made to make an exclusive showroom. Intr. Oney showed drawings of the proposed modifications. He said a pedestrian walkway in front would follow the natural slope of the pond. The grade change is approximately 30 inches. They wilt use stamped concrete in a scalloped fashion as was used at the BMW showroom. There are three balusters to provide an accent feature. A conforming directional sign will identify the Rolls Royce showroom entrance- He said the Phantom model is 19%2 feet tong. They have also provided vehicle access to the showroom from the rear inventory lot using enough room to maneuver the large vehicle. Two existing pines and two deciduous trees wilt be relocated in front. The only proposed modification to the exterior elevation is to change the eight-foot door to a ten-foot opening to allow the large vehicle to be placed in the showroom. The glazing and mullions will match the glass. They propose to introduce horizontal mullions to match- Mr. Oney said it might be necessary to come back to the Commission if modifications need to be made to provide access for a second vehicle. He agreed with the seven conditions listed above. Ms. Boring said a Code revision was necessary to avoid having to go through this process for such a minor modification. Mr. Gerber asked why the Commission had to hear this application instead of it being handled administratively. Ms. Adkins said the reason staff thought it should be brought to the Commission is because the modification will he made at the rnain entrance of the site where it will be visible from the public right-of--way, and it is a PCD. 03-112.7.

Gary Gunderman clarified that if changes to the Code had been adopted to consolidate the PCD with the PUD, this would not be before the Commission. Mr. Gerber understood. Mr. Saneholtz made a motion to approve this revised development plan because it conforms to the existing Subarea J text and complies with the PCD provisions of Section 153.058, providing for the expansion and update of a successful Dublin business with seven conditions: 1) That vehicular display be prohibited on the proposed path and be noted as such on all plans, subject to staff approval; 2) That no colored lenses be used for any lighting on site; 3) That the proposed modifrcarions comply with applicable Stormwater Regulations, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer; 4) That revised plans be submitted if a second door is required, subject to staff approval; 5) That proposed new signage be submitted that is directional in nature, subject to staff approval; 6) That relocated trees be replaced on an inch-per-inch basis if they die within five years, subject to staff approval; and 7) That the applicant utilize a rock that is more aesthetically suitable, subject to staff approval.

Development Plan 97-LS3UP -Perimeter Center, Subarea J -Land Rover Center -6029 Perimeter llrive Suzanne Wingenfield presented this development plan for a new automobile dealership building on a 15 acre site located on the south side of Perimeter Drive. The rezoning that created Subarea J was approved in 1997. The large automobile dealership building (50,000 squaze feet) was approved in May 1997 and is now under construction. This proposal is fora 7,000 square foot automobile dealership at the northern two acres of the same site. 03-1127.. Rf:.~oim~gf Prelunu>iuy Develolnnait Plan Pe~ui~ Center, Subarea D, MAG Parlang L.ot Vent~Drive Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -January 15, 1998 Page 2 Ms. Wingenfield said this building must comply with the development text standards in terms of parking, layout, landscaping, and signs. Wall signs are generally not permitted in Perimeter Center, but the development text does permit a wall sign bn this building. The 20 foot high sign faces Perimeter Drive. It is mounted on a green architectural panel that is 31 feet tall. The Land Rover building is a one story structure primarily constructed of concrete masonry units, glass, and stucco. The ootors will be shades of gray with some white. The rezoning requires that this building have architecture and materials that are compatible with the larger MAG building. This proposal meets this requirement. The front of the building will face Perimeter Drive. The showroom is to be constructed with tinted gray glass. Ms. Wingenfield said staff recommends approval of this development plan with three conditions: 1) That the building match the original MAG building in terms of colors and materials; 2) That if Land Rover is no longer the tenant of the building, that the green architectural element on the front elevation and the wall sign be removed; and 3) That the overall site landscape plan be revised to show all changes caused by the development of Land Rover. Mr. Lecklider asked if the sign proposed is a wall sign. Ms. Wingenfield said yes. The green architectural structure is connected to the building, and the sign is mounted on it. Mr. McCash asked what the 11 parking spaces which were removed, were for originally. Ms. Wingenfield said they were primarily customer and service parking spaces_ The display parking remains the same. Spaces in the rear of the building for holding cars were also removed. Mr. McCash asked about Condition 2 and how the green element could be removed without destroying the building. Ms. Wingenfield believed the structure resembled a chimney but did not provide structural support. Ms. Clarke said the green vertical element was used as an identifier for this specific dealership everywhere. If the building is occupied by any other dealership, the new dealer will probably want to remove it. Ms. Clarke said that Land Rover uses alodge- looking building nationally which did not integrate well with the very modern and sleek architecture of the MAG building. Currently, Land Rover has agreed to build a smaller version of the MAG building, which is warmly welcomed. At the time of rezoning, it was stated that this vertical sign space was a necessary element of the deal and it is cited in the PCD text. Mr. Peplow said a wall sign, not exceeding 32 square feet not including the word "Dublin" was approved at the time of rezoning. He asked what size the Land Rover sign was exclusive of the word "Dublin". Ms. Wingenfield said it was approximately 31 square feet. Ms. Wingenfield said the sign is consistent with the text. Mr_ Sprague said when MAG applied for rezoning, they expected problems with Land Rover unless the wall sign was permitted. The Commission understood and included a wall sign. He views the entire green panel as the sign, and was concerned that it exceeds the Code. Ms. Wingenfield said the green architectural element is part of the exterior wall The oval and lettering constitute the sign. Mr. Sprague disagreed. 03-1127 Recorring~Preliminary Deveiopmenf Plan Perimeter Cez~tEx, Sut~ama D, MAG Parking Lot Ventucc Drive Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Muiutes -January 15, 1998 Page 3 Mr. Sprague asked about the vehicle demonstration track. Ms. Wingenfield said it was for test drives and had landscaping, eic. Christopher Cline, attorney, agreed with the above three conditions vn behalf of the applicant. Mr. Cline said the green vertical design element was specifically mentioned in the text and will be designed to be removed without changing the building. He said Dublin has been easier to work with than Land Rover in this process. He showed Land Rover`s original and final building designs. The building will not be intrusive. He showed the Commission the building materials which will match the MAG building except for the green file element, 1fie gray metal shown is the material of the standing seam roof. The three masonry materials will be identical to those at MAG. Mr. McCash said the Ind Rover green color (GM-1) of the vertical design element was not mentioned in the text. He was comfortable with the color shown. Mr. McCash asked about the white spnice trees screening the vehicle display azea. Mark Brentlinger said it is ashort-needled tree that has a greater density, such as the Austrian pine. Mr. Cline said during the rezoning process at City Council on June 2, various Council members were concerned that the sign was largely undefined. As a result, there was a text modification as a response to Council. It also prohibited wall signs on SR 33. Mr. Lecklider agreed with Mr. Sprague's interpretation that the entire structure constituted a sign. Mr. Sprague asked if the display rock stand was standard for band Rover dealerships. Mr. Cline said yes. It is behind the fingers and display cars and will not make an impact from the street. Mr. Sprague asked about the vehicle demonstration track. Mr. Brentlinger said it was constructed of large pieces of flagstone placed in a way that only a Land Rover can drive over it. It would damage any other type of vehicle. Mr. Cline said it was not a race track; the average speed would be less than 5 MPH. Mr. Brentlinger said the track was not visible from the street. Mr. Ferrara asked why the sign area was increased nine square feet. Mr. Brentlinger said it increased when "Dublin" was added. Mr. Ferrara said the text clearly stated that the sign shall not exceed 32 square feet, not including "Dublin" . Mr. Ferrara said there was no documentation on the height of the pylon. Mr. Cline said these were contained in the January 9 text additions. Mr. Sprague said the building was very attractive and consistent in design and material with the main building. He would like to soe the rock display removed. Mr_ Peplow liked the green Land Kover sign 03.112!, Kezonin~lizninary Develolxnerit Plan Perimeter Cer~der-, Subaru ll, IvIAG PatlCUil I.ot Venture Ihive Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -January 15, 1998 Page 4 Mr. McCash said Council had been concerned about the 1S foot height of the sign, but was satisfied with the text at this time. Mr. Lecklider said since the wall sign appeared within a text revision approved by City Council, he was no longer concerned. Mr. Ferrara made a motion to approve this development plan because the use is compatible with the surrounding area and meets the intent of the Perimeter Center text with three conditions: 1) That the building match the original MAG building in terms of colors and materials; 2) That if Land Rover is no longer the tenant of the building, that the green architectural element on the front elevation and the wall sign be removed; and 3) That the overall site Iandsrape plan be revised to show all changes caused by the development of land Rover.

Bridge Street representing Charles Aeh, Midwestern Auto Group, SOl6 Post Road, Dublin, Ohio 43017) Registucd as a proponent of the rezoning was Chris Cline. Thuc were no registered opponents to the rezoning. Ms. Clarke stated that Midwestern Auto Group is looking to triple the siu of their existing facilities on Post Road and relocate to the Perimetu area between Pcrimctu Drive and Perimctu Loop. The site consists oCrtcarfy I S acres and the building proposed is very unusual ~ and tailored to this user. Thc site as presently zoned under the Puimetu Ccntcr plan purtrits construction of otTice and OLR uses, hotels and multi-story buildings. The proposed plan j acatcs a new subarea within the Pcrimctu Centu text plan -Subarea `T'. The proposed usu is an auto dealu and the building plan is exotic, with a spxialized landscape plan, and unusual I stgnaga The building features three glass showrooms that face the southwest of the site. Tht parking has been divided into several areas. The rezoning was approved by Planning Cottunissiort on April lU, 1997 with G conditions: I) That the text be revised to provide clarification as to visual sale gimmicks, landscaping, lighting, auto display, grading, and building architecture; 2) That access to Perimeter Drive be prohibited; i 3) That a more acceptable sign package be submitted as part of this rezoning artd arcorporated in the text; 4) That design for all storm watu management, site utilities and improvements including grading meet the approval of the City Engineer, 5) That construction be linked to approval of ttre preliminary plat for "Wall" Strcet; and ~ That an appropriate subarea plan be submitted. ~ Ms. Clarke commented that the grading, lighting and architecture for this plan are very unusual jl and it does not conform to Code in a variety of ways. However, staff and Planning ,t Commission have supported tfte application because of the creative approach to this site which f~ will house an auto dealer. ~ ~~ In terms of the signagc, Ms. Clarke explained that because the site has fruntanc on four streets ~i - US 33, Perimeter Loop, Perimeter Drive and Venture Drive, they arc permitted to have four ,~ signs. What has been proposed arc two signs t8 Ccet in height and 50 square feet each, a not ~ yet identified wall sign, and an identification sign at the entrance on Venture Drive. Dublin's II Codc does not permit signagc over 1 S feet and does not permit a combination oCwall signs and I~ ground signs. ?' In response to Mr. Reiner, Ms. Clarke stated that there arc other areas where this application { I~ does not ntcct Dublin's Codc_ a G-foot high screen is required along the perimeter of property I ~! along freeway frontage and limited access freeways. This site does not have 6-foot high i; screening. She noted, however, that the Codc specifically permits an auto dealership to have a ~' certain percentage of the frontage to be used as a display area, and this site does not exceed l r that percentage. They have chosen to do the display in an atypical fashion. p The lighting on the site rs not addressed by the Dublin lighting guidchncs which call for , . consistency across the entire site. The application as proposed is for acr:ent lighting on display I; cars and up-lighting on features of display cars. Ms Hide Pittaluga noted that the plan is very tasteful, but wondered about the eficct the (~ variances allowed in terms of signagc, grading and lighting ~•:ould have on fuwre rezoning ~ requests. Ms. Clarke noted that a variance from the G foot screening requirement in front of buildings along 33 and I-2?0 eras been granted to several applican[s previously, including Airl'ouch, the Thomas Kohler retuning, Cardinal [tealth and the Tuttle 11 building The type of lighting , t?3-112Z R~Alungf Prelimir><~uy Devclt~~ent Pl~i Pelimder Center, Suba#~ D, MAG P~rifln~ I~t Venture Drive RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Syedal MeetinG of Dublin City Coundl PaQC 3 Meeting June 2, 1997 requeued in this case is very unusual and unique and not likdy to be requested by another user. The Planning Commission looked favorably on this application due to the comprehensive design which incorporated these individual elements. Mr. Campbell pointed out a Planned Commerce District has its own zoning, therefore, tcehnically, these would not be called "variances"_ Ms_ Clarke agreed that these elements are ai variance to the present Code, trot vatiartces in themselves. There is no hardship situation involved. Mr. Campbell also noted that there had 6cen a com[rtitmeat that this would be the Last car dealership on the site, and asked if the landowner has agreed to decd restrict the rest of the proP~Y• Ms. Clarice stated that the Land owner has agreed to this deed restriction, adding that he still controls 77 aces. ut that the Marriott rezoning had some similar drwmstances to boat PCD's and have distinguishing characteristics which justify Mayor Kranstuber asked for further clarification on the size of the signs. How do the Dublin standards compare to those in Perimeter? Ms. Ctarkc stated that neither the Dublin Code nor the Perimeter text addresses a site with '•. four frontages such as this one. The Pe.~meter Mall and the outparcels have been tightly { controlled in terms oCsignage. There are no restrictioru on colors. •~ Mayor Kranstuber asked about the justification for eliminating the mounding. Ms. Clarke explained that under the flubfin Code, auto dealers are pe[mitted 25 percent of their frontage to be used as display_ They could choose to do no mounding along US 33 and it would still meet Code. This is the only auto dealer of the three on the site which will have frontage along [JS 33 Mr. McCash asked what the intended ancillary commercial uses would be as referred to in the next dated May 16, 1997. ~; Ms. Clarke responded that these could be a newsstand, a sandwich shop, etc which could be ancillary uses within a structure primarily devoted to office use. '~ Mr. McCash expressed some concern about a reference to special cultural events to take place :I on the site with no mention of obtaining permits for such events. :~ Mr. McCash also noted concern about the outside speakers and music system and the possibility of sound emitting onto the adjacent properties. The sound system could be used to :! attract customers much the same as signage would do. Mr. McCash asked if the sign on the Land Kovcr building will be iintited to the 15 foot height i provision. He could envision a 6S foo[ tall portion of the Land kLover building with a sign on it • given the text language. Ms. Clarke responded that has not been specified. The Planning Commission indicated they would review this as a design element when the building plans are submitted. Mr. McCash also noted that the signage as proposed would exceed the three~ofor Code restriction Mayor Kranstuber commented that ire believes they should be restricted to a three- color maximum on the signage per Dublin code. Mr. Reiner asked if willow trees are still banned as acceptable aces due to the drainage !- problems with the species. ~~ Ms. Clarke responded that they are not on the approved tree list r is Chris Ciirt~ ;i7_~. i o~$tretS stated that he represents the applicant Efe displayed a model i~ of the site and proposed development. He stated that the site has 2,800 feet of frontage on four public roads which constitutes a umquc situation for signage.

Mc(.ash noted that the text indicates that the applicant plans to reuse the present BMW pylon sign which is an internally illuminated sign. Mr. Cline responded that it will be used as an internal sign and not visible f[om the street. Mr Cline commented that the concept for the grading plan involves an innovative and i aesthetic approach to concealing a car dealership, the proposed design stoptng will conceal . the stock of cars which are downhill from the tips of the "fingers" used for display tars. The comprehensive plan for the site integrates grading, azchitecture, quality design and sets a ~ precedent The Pianncd DlSIf1M use cncour~es imaginative design and the creation of unique development standards. They believe they have done so with this application. In terms of j spexial events, the anticipation would be for a special event such as a symphony concert for the community where the cars would be removed frorn the sfiowroom for the event. There will be gallery space in the dealership where art exhibits could be displayed. The music will be a low level classical type. 'fhe !ow level ground lighting and the music v+iU be subject to staff review. • Mr. Reiner pointed out that if the intent of the landscaping is for screening purposes, the proposed plan calls for only one third as many spruce trees as are needed to accomplish the ' obj~ctiv~~ Mr. Cline responded chat they arc committed to screening and will work with staffto make this acceptable. '°. Mr. Reiner suggested that the willow trees be removed since they will disrupt the pond. Mr. Cline responded that the applicant understands the drawbacks of the willow trees but plans to include them. He will work with tfie City's landscape architect on tlus issue. Discussion continued about the mounding and screening of the finger areas. Mr. McCash noted that he has concerns about the lighting left on in the showrooms after ' hours. ~1t?1G.~ Ash_1~ rv tern AyS4 ~rQ~t~ stated that they anticipate leaving some lights on in the evenings as is currently done, bur they will be at a much lower level. It will be tasteful, subtle and elegant- Mayor Kranstuber suggested that the applicant put into writing that the alter hours lighting will be subtle and of accent type only. Mrs. Boring commented that under the Revised Charter, Council has the option of suspending the vote after a public hearing until the next Council meeting. In view of the many issues being raised, this may be appropriate Discussion continued about the signa~e for the Land Rover building. Mr McCash indicated that he would like to add language to the text stating that no wall signs would be permitted along US 3i Mr Cline responded that this would not be a problem Mrs- Stillwell commented that this is an important piece of land in terms of its location at a gateway area.

Mrs. Aoring stated that this application is unique in its design and deals with display in a different manner than other car dealerships. Tt does not sd a precedent to allow car dealerships to park cars on top of mounds for display. It is instead a comprehensive design, innovative anti creative. Mayor IGanstuber summarized that the issues identified tonight are. the number of spruce trees needed to saes; the text language regarding sign colors; internal illumination in the showrooms; and noise level of music on the site. Mr. Campbell suggested that the vote be postponed until the next meeting to allow for redrafting of the text to address concerns identified tonight. He moved to suspend the public hearing and to have the ordinance voted on at the Iune 9 Council mceting Mrs. Aoring seconded the motion. Mt.

A "MAG" wall sign, a low ground sign, and two 1S-foot high ground signs are proposed. The dealership is large and will service many different types of cars. The raised vehicle display "fingers" are not screened as requ'u-ed by Code. However, the exposed ends of each of the fingers fall within Code (maximum display area of 25 percent of the frontage). Staff would like the display area to come closer to meeting the Code in several respects. She said staff recommends approval with nine conditions (as amended): 1) That access to Perimeter Drive be prohibited and that access along Perimeter Loop Road be subject to approval by the City Engineer; 2) That the construction of the site be coordinated with the construction-of:public roadways and utilities, subject to approval of the City Engineer; 3) That the design of all storm water management systems, site utilities and improvements, including grading, be subject to the approval of the City Engineer; 4) That the landscape plan be revised to conform more closely to the requirements of the Code and the comments in this report, subject to staff approval; 5) That text be amended to further address landscaping, signage, lighting, grading and building architecture; ~ That signs be brought into compliance with the recommendations in this report, subject to staff approval; '7) That lighting be subject to further review and staff approval; 8) That sidewalks be constructed along the east and west frontages; and 9) That a revised site plan which incorporates all of the conditions be submitted within two r weeks. Mr. Harlan asked if corporatelnational flags were considered as signs. Ms. Clarke said national flags are permitted in the Sign Code, and nonpolitical signs are regulated. She said the maximum pole height for corporate flags is 20 feet. Mr. Harian asked if there was a limit to the number of corporate flags. Ms. Clarke said one corporate flag is permitted for the.site. A choice of one auto company, or a MAG, flag would be permitted as a corporate flag. Any number of national flags could be flown under the Code. Mr. Sprague said they could change the flag every day. Mr. Lecklider asked if the wall sign proposed was appropriate. Ms. Clarke said she liked the sign, however it would set a precedent. A decision needed to made to include wall signs in Perimeter Center, because none are now permitted at this time. Mr_ Lecklider asked about the etevation of the display fingers. Ms. Clarke was uneasy with the elevated nature of the fingers, six feet along the freeway. Mr. Lecklider asked if the landscaping needed to be enhanced. Ms. Clarke said more trees were necessary on the site. Acne-foot vegetative screen around the display area is alsa needed. 03-1122 Re~~cn~vigf Prelimu~aty Devclopme~u Pl m PaimeterCer~a-, SubareaD, MAG Partcing Lot VenttueDrive Dublin Planning and Zoning C~ fission IVhnutes -May 1, 1997 Page 24 Mr. Lecklider asked about the lighting of the display fingers. Ms. Clarke said less light than permitted was being proposed on the site. She said there may be justification to work with the applicant for something that was far more subdued, but perhaps more dramatic, than what is normally associated with a car dealership. Ms. Clarke'said architectural issues needed to be addressed in the text to insure that in the fuh+re, the text appropriately identifies what can be built an the north end of this site. Staff would hope that it could be coordinated with the lazger building to the south as much as possible. Ms. Clarloe said the Code has no provisions for a site with four frontages. Staff proposes that it be treated as two comer sites, which would be entitled to approximately the same rights as if were two sites with two frontages. Mr. Peplow asked about .the access road. Ms. Clarke said an entrance was initially proposed along Perimeter Drive, but it has been removed from the plan. The only engineering issue deals with the aesthetic and safety placement of the Perimeter Loop entrance_ The applicant feels strongly that it should not be relocated for aesthetic reasons. Mr. Harlan said he did not see the required display landscaping screening at other dealerships. Ms. Clarke said many dealerships were developed prior to the landscaping code. Difference in the grade elevation between the street and lot sometimes eliminates any screening function, although the mound is in place. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher said cars pulled onto mounds looked bad. She asked if the display fingers were intended to display in a more appealing way. Chris Cline, attorney, said the gasoline will he only for the cars serviced and it will not be sold. He said the tank will hold 6,000 gallons of gas. Mr. Cline said the curbcut on Perimeter Loop Road is proposed because of the artistry of the site. fie understood that the City Engineer wanted 250 feet between offset driveways, but it was not a policy or code. He said the Perimeter Center text only a requires 100 foot offset. Mr. Cline said the customer parlang bas been increased to 76 spaces. Mr. Cline said they would work with staff to meet the street trce requirement. He said they had 3-inch caliper street trees for every thirty feet of frontage, but not on center. They have been arranged to complement the site. He said they would meet the Code. Mr. Cline said their sign proposal basically complied with the Sign Code. He said the wall sign was artistic. The wall sign is a signature to the building itself. There are two ground pylon signs of stainless steel material. A transtucent plastic material will be used that the light will softly shine through. 03-1127, Rezonu~l'reliminary Development Plan Perimeter Center, Subarea D, MAC Parking Lot Venhue Drive Dublin Planning and Zoning Cc Fission M nutes -May 1, 1997 Page 25 The purpose of the complex grading plan was to conceal everything except the cars that are for sale. As you look down the finger display, the cars become less visible. A maximum of four display vehicles will be seen on the fingers. Mr. Cline showed the Commission digital photographs of the building model showing what would be seen from the roadway. Ms. Clazke asked how tall the trees were as shown. Mr. Cline said the Sunburst honey locust were shown at about 25-30 feet tall. Mr. Cline said Page 2G of the development plan text detailed the permitted display areas Mr. Harlan asked if the front side of the mound was grass. Mr_ Cline said yes Mr. Cline said the relative elevation of roadway on SR 161 was azound a_19..contour and the six- foot mound went up to 24. Mr. Cline said the setback .wasapproximately- IOQ,feet. -Mr. Cline said there was asix-inch cement curb around the end of the finger display-areas and-the ends of the fingers would be illuminated with accent uplighting on the cars. Mr. Sprague asked how many cars would be exposed to the streets. Mr. Cline said on the 14 fingers there might be three or four cars each. Mr. Cline said there were 60, cut-off gray fixture lights on 14-foot high poles. Mr. Cline said ilie two pylon signs proposed were 1S feet tall and the issue was that they did not comply with Code because of the percentages of logo used. He said the logos were needed because they had 12 separate manufacturers. The third sign has been reworked as a s'vc-foot tall directional sign without logos. The wall sign was 50 square feet in size located on the wall that screened the mechanical units. Mr. Kuspan said it would have stainless steel channel letters with backlighting. Ms. Clarke said there was a problem with the height of the wall sign, and that Perimeter Center generally does not permit wall signs. Ground signage in Perimeter Center was defined as a 3 by 5 (height with relationship} on a brick or stone base. The applicant is required to follow the text requirements. She said the MAG ground sign, due to .its:very unusual design, is somewhat smalter. Ms. Chinnici-7uercher said the Commission should be consistent in applying the Sign Code. She said they needed a new text written for the whole area to provide a level of consistency. She wants to avoid the same problem occurring again without some text structure. Ms. Clazke asked if there were consensus among the Commission members that wall signage should be incorporated in the Perimeter Center text. Mr. Harlan thought they were trying to stay away from wall signs there. Mr. Harlan said the sign was neat and asked if a ground sign on US 33 would be considered instead of a wall sign. Mr. Bretlinger said the sign was expensive to produce. They were also looking to brand MAG as a company. He said they would remove the building sign, if necessary. 03-1122 Re/otruigfPreliminaryDevelopmentPlan PerimeterCentcx, Suba~D, MAG P~icu~ Lot Venttue Drive Dublin Planning and Zoning Cc Fission N>"inutes -May 1, 1997 Page 26 He said Land Rover, which was proposed next door, had anon-flexible design requirement for a wall mounted sign. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher said ultimately, wall signs may be okay, but consistency is necessary. Mc. Bretlinger said if wail signs were forbidden in this area, Land Rover will not participate and the project may not be possible. Ms. Clarke said Page 6 of the existing Perimeter Text has design criteria for signage and addresses specifics such as materials and landscaping, signs with a base, signs mounted on pylons, maximum sign faoe is 50 square feet, an overall height of eight feet above the top of the adjacent curb, that signs cannot be on mounds, they must be three by five in ratio, but the words "There cannot be any wall signs" are not included. It does state that no sign shall be painted or posted directly on the surface of any building. The text gives permission to use ground.signs, nothing else: Ivis. Chinnici Zuercher asked if the signs proposed were in compliance..Ms.. Clarke said they were too tall, the wrong size and design, and the logo area exceeded 20 percent_ Mr. Sprague asked if the Chrysler sign complied. Ms. Clarke said the text had been revised yearly since 1987. She said the Chrysler dealership came in originally as the Mercedes dealership and a new tent was drafted for Subarea I. When .originally zoned, it too was part of Subarea D, and then it became Subarea L Subarea I was zoned specifically for a dealership, with specific architecture, in accordance with the Trott and Bean plans, and with the signage as presented. Due to the clean look of the sign, it was granted an exception. Mr. Cline asked how Big Bear got a wall sign. Ms. Clarke said the original Perimeter Center rezoning was driven by the desire to construct a retail mall of 250,000 square feet, similar to Wortfiington Square. That proposal fell apart due to many things, including a sewer ban. When the pro}ect was revised, it became an exterior mall. The azchitectural design exhibited at Perimeter Center shopping center was part of that negotiation process. Wall signage for all other tenants is not illuminated but Big Bear was permitted the sign which is now in place. Staff recommended against, but the Planning Commission and City Council approved it. The sign package is included within the text, including an exhibit. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher suggested a committee in the near future to address these issues and return with acceptable parameters to make a decision. Mr. Harlan was against wall signs on US 33. A monument sign or a version of another type sign would possibly be preferable. Mr. Peplow, Mr. Leckl.ider, and Mr. Sprague preferred a ground sign on US 33. Mr. I.ecklider concurred about consistency being necessary. He liked the pylon sign, but would like it less than 15 feet tail. 03-1127 K~ma~limii~uY Development Plan Perim~x Center, S~.~bauca D, MAG Packing Lot Venture Drive Dublin Planning and 'Coning Cc tiission ' Mrnutes -May 1, 1997 Page 27 Mr_ Sprague said Gorden Flesch was not permitted to have watt signs, and this site should not be either. He said if Range Rover insisted on a wall sign chat was otherwise compatible with Dublin's Sign Code, perhaps there was an exception that could be written into Subarea J. Mr. Cline suggested that the tall sign would not work on US 33. Mr. Bretlinger anticipated that in the next 18 months three additional logos would be added to the sign. Ms. Chinnici Zuercher understood the applicant to be requesting two, 15-foot tall pylon signs, a six-foot pylon sign, and that the MAG sign on the building was withdrawn, and a ground sign facing US 33 would be added. Language in the text is to be added: That the proposed Land Rover center would be permitted a wall sign as approved by staff. Mr. Cline said afour-foot directional MAG sign saying "parts;-service; :fuel deliveries, etc". would be located at the third entrance to the site. Mr. Sprague said .the -MAG logo needed to be removed. Mr. Cline said agreed. Ms. (~innici-Zuercher said the Commissioners had indicated some acceptance of this application, except for the signage. She said five signs: two, 15-foot signs, a wall sign on Land Rover to be deternuned at a later time, a ground sign along SR 33, and a directional sign at the entrance which will not exceed four feet in size were being discussed. Mr. Lecklider was concerned with the siga height, Mr. Harian, Mr. Peplow and Ms. Chinnici- Zuen~her said 15-foot signs were acceptable. Mr. Sprague liked the sign, but said 15 feet is too tall. I~Ie suggested a height of I3 feet with the base. Ms_ Clarke understood that the Commission was not endorsing arty IS-foot high sign, but the specific 15-foot sign presented. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher said that was correct. Ms. Clarke said then it needed to be written in the teat. Mr. Harian made a motion for approval of this development plan because it will preserve the desired character along US 33/SR 161 and within the area, conforms to the PCD regulations, is consistent with the Community Plan, and employs very innovative site design and architecture, with nine conditions: 1) That access to Perimeter Drive be prohibited and that access along Perimeter Loop Road be subject to approval by the City Engineer; 2) That the eonswetion of the site be coordinated with the construction of public roadways and utilities, subject to approval of the City F,ngineer; 3) That the design of all storm water management systems, site utilities and improvements, including grading, be subject to the approval of the City Engineer; 4) That the landscape plan be revised to conform more closely to the requirements of the Code and the comments in this report, subject to staff approval; 5) That text be amended to further address landscaping, signage, lighting, grading and building architecture; 6) That signage be permitted as follows: two, 15-foot pylon signs as presented at this mceting; one, four-foot high direction sign;'a ground sign facing US 33, subject to staff approval (not to be a LS-foot pylon sign); and a future wall sign on the proposed Land Rover building, subject to staff and Commission approval; 7) That lighting bc; subject to further r'evicw and staff approval; q3-112Z Rewiun~Ptclinunary Development Pl~~n Pc~uneter C.es~r, Subs D,1vlAG Pariang L.ot Venture Drive Dublin Planning and Zoning Cc tiission Minutes -May 1, 1997 Page 28 S) That sidewalks be constructed along the east and west frontages; and 9) That a revised site plan which incorporates all of the conditions be submitted within two weeks.

Rezoning Application 97-034Z -Revised Composite Pian/Development Plan -Midwestern Auto Group -6025 Perimeter Drive . Bobbie Clarke presented this combined rezoning and development plan for an auto dealership. The 14.78 acre site is on the southeast corner of Perimeter Drive and Perimeter Loop Road (formerly Wilcox Road). The rezoning would permit all of the current Subarea D uses, mainly office and hotel., plus an auto dealership. T'he Midwestern Auto Group (MAG) dealership is now located on Post Road and will relocate here. Anew loop road is shown to the east of this site, but its name will not be "Wall Street" as shown on the plans. Tax increment financing CTIF) legislation is pending at City Council that would install the full street loop. The two-level building will have three elevated showrooms facing southwest. There are three entraiKes into the lower service level. A wet pond is located near the main entrance_ 'I`he parking lot is divided into several use areas. The tips or "fingers" are used for display and the inventory cars are stored in the remaining area. Customers will park along the C-shaped driveway, and employee parking has been designated and screened. A future showroom is shown at the north end of the site, which could become Land Rover, or a showroom could be added to the building. Ms. Clarke said two separate actions are requested: a recommendation on the rezoning application (composite plan) and final action on the development plan. Subarea J will permit the current uses and an auto dealership in accordance with this plan. The PCD permits this combined review. Since the initial plan submission, there have been several revisions. The staff report indicates 12- 15 signs for the site; this has been reduced to three signs which have not been reviewed by staff. The specialized lighting proposed is a staff concern. Staff is not stressing blanket compliance with Dublin Lighting Guidelines because such a specialized lighting plan, site plan, and a unique building is proposed. It is requested that lighting be left to staff discretion. Additionally, six-foot high screening is normally required along US 33, but none is proposed here. Ms. Clarke said no architecture had been submitted for the future building along Perimeter Drive. Staff hopes that it would be coordinated with the main MAG building. 03-I1.2Z Rezoningf Prefiznii~ary Developtn~t Plan Perimeter C~~ter, Suba~a D, MAG Paddng Lot uQ1lLII~ D11Ve Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Aprit 10, 1997 Page 7 Ms. Clarke said staff recommends tabling of the development plan. She said staff recommends approval of the rezoning application with six conditions: 1) 'T'hat the text be revised to provide clarification as to visual sale gimmicks, landscaping, lighting, auto display, grading, and building architecture; 2) That access to Perimeter Drive be prohibited; 3) That a more acceptable sign package be submitted as part of this rezoning and incorporated in the text; 4) That design for all storm water management, site utilities and improvements including grading meet the approval of the City Engineer; 5) That construction be linked to approval of the preliminary plat for "Wall" Street; and ~ That an appropriate subarea plan be submitted. .Chris Cline, attorney, said this project had integrated landscaping, grading; and parking. He said it will be nationally recognized for its design. This project was designed to look good from every angle. Toe Kuspan, the architect, demonstrated the site model. The site has been cut with a C-shaped loop road that separates the different areas. There are seven display "fingers" to the north and seven to the south. The building has a split level design. The service entrances are lower and bidden, and the showrooms are elevated. Fle said service vehicles, employee parking and new car inventory will be screened with landscaping. The parking lot at its lowest point is at a 911- foot elevation. The fingers have landscaping to break up large masses of parking, and they are elevated toward the highest points at the tips. This permits the vehicles on the end of the mounds to be seen while the other stored inventory is descending downhill. Three-foot landscaping will screen most of the cars. A seaies of quartz fixture`s at the grade level will footlight the wheels and grills of the cars. Other lighting will provide general ambient light in the display spaces. Jerry Smith explained that the amount of asphalt was minimized with the fingers being landscaped and screened. Evergreen screening is minced with deciduous materials. All the employee parking is screened. The fingers allow for particular cars to be displayed. 1'he entrances will have tree clusters. They will meet the Landscape Code and Dublin street tree regulations. Mark Brentlinger, Nfidwestern Auto Group, said his current business has outgrown its Post Road location. T1ie goal is to have a European feel of architecture and design and a timeless building. He hoped the environment will be a pleasant and exciting landmark. The pond will have geese. The glass is to be aSwiss-manufactured clear glass that can eliminate heat gain inside. The landscaping species will be native to this area or reflect the same European countries as the cars. He does not want customers to see anything unattractive or cars not for sale. Alighting consultant will do subtle but dramatic lighting. Mr. Brentlinger does not want to repeat the old "stadium" type lighting used at the old dealership. Mr. Kuspan said each showroom will have an internal ramp which ascends up to display cars and allow customers to visit other showrooms in the building. There will be a retail store for vehicle merchandise on one end. Low, 14-foot high dcxorative fixtures will light all of die outer portions 03-1127 Re~~onin~l'~eGminaryDevelopment Plan Perimeter Caltex, S~ ibarea D, MAG PariCing Lot Vent<tre Drive Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Mnutes -April 10, 1997 Page 8 of the site in addition to the low-level quartz fixtures which floodlight and footlight the cars. He showed three European design fixtures. The rear of the site will be lit with cutoff type 27-foot high futures. Flagpoles for each nation of origin, plus the City of Dublin and MAG corporate flags. are proposed. Amain pylon sign will be 15 feet high at the west entrance. Windows at the rear of the building will break up the massing and make it more appealing. Afire wall separates the sales/office space from the service space_ A rooftop trench will screen the mechanical equipment. He said the building materials are a combination of colored masonry and a ground face masonry. They were chosen for their rich appearance, which is similar to terrazzo_ Some of the masonry will have scored joints. The blocks use marble, granite, and other aggregates to bring out the color and texture. A white PVC roof will be used. The large wall separating .the front from the .back of the building is a combination of three :materials: . dark charcoal .grey .ground faced masonry on the lowest. l0 feet, white ground faced masonry~on the middle 10 feet, and white masonry with a white marble chip for the upper 10 feet. Interior and exterior accent lighting on the building walls is proposed. Most of the upper areas of the building will be of a natural colored stucco. Aluminum window mullions will be unfinished. The front showrooms are of clear glass. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher asked how many cars az~e on the !ot and in the fingers. Mr. Cline said 737 vehicles cars would be on the lot. He said each one of the fingers had a specific number of cars spelled out in the text. The largest finger had 38 spaces. He said absolutely no display vehicles are permitted in the C-shaped driveway. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher asked how many 14-foot light poles and flagpoles are proposed. Mr. Kuspan said there are sixty, 14-font pole lights and eight flagpoles. The flag sizes will meet Code. The 22 light poles in the back are 27 fcet high and are the typical cut-off, shoe box type. Mr. Harian asked which material was on the front elevation, A-2. Mr. Kuspan said the blocks between the showrooms, inside the knuckles, had a striped pattern of two textures with a natural grey stucco above. Mr. Hasian asked about the wall where the MAG sign appeared. Mr. Kuspan said it was white. He said the tallest HVAC unit was 5 feet high. Mr. Brentlinger said the used cars would be integrated with the new cars. Mr. Harian asked if a future fourth pod would be identical to the others. Mr. Kuspan said yes. Mr. Harian read a letter from Tim Kelton, Ruscilli, excluding more dealerships from its remaining 77 acres. Ms. Clarke said staff did not request this condition, the developer volunteered it. Mr. Harian asked if the roof elevation of the main building will be seen from US 33. Mr. Kuspan said the white roof was chosen to reflect the sun because the back half of the building was not air conditioned. He said a small portion of the roof might be visible. 03-1122 Rezoningd~eliminary Develolxnent Plan Pc~im~er CentEr, Subarea D, MAG Parlang Lot Venture Drive Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Ivfinutes -April 10, 1497 Page 9 Mr_ Lecklider lilted how the finger design breaks up the mass of asphalt. Mr. Kuspan said each finger was raised at the same slope per each side of the site. They chose afour-foot elevation change faking Perimeter Drive, and a six feet along US 33. They are sloped to provide drama by ascending upwards, and they also block the view of the rest of the cars. Mr. Kuspan said the highest mound was about six feet higher than US 33 and about 120 feet away. Mr. Lecklider asked about the exterior sound system. Mr. Cline said it would play aloes-key ambiance-.type music. The music will be totally inaudible at the center of any adjoining road. The exterior sound system is subject to staff approval. Loud intercom speakers would not be permitted. Ms. Clarke said the text cites that the sound cannot be heard offsite. Mr. Leckiider asked about the coffee shop_ Mr. Cline said the coffee shop will attract the public as well as customers. The goal is to provide a gathering place. Mr. Ferrara asked if the flagpoles are signage. Mr. Cline said corporate flags were regulated as signs, and any national flags weae permitted. Mr. Banchefsky said there was no limitation on the number of flags representing any political entity. Mr_ Ferrara. asked if the perimeter of the water feature would be grassed. Mr. Kuspan said typical rip-rap will not be used. They want to find a grass that will work with the retention. Mr.~ Cline said they would like to duplicate the pond in front of the Horror Corporation. Mr. Kuspaa said there is a "MAG" sign at the end of the wall. Ae said the stainless steel, backlit channel letters are proposed, six to eight feet tall. Ms. Clarke said the sign shown by Code, was a roof sign, and not permitted unless written into the development text. She said the revised signage package had not been discussed. Mr. Cline said there were 54 customer parking spaces. Mr. Ferrara said if this was to be a gathering place with a a~ffc~ shop he was concerned about adequate parking. Mr. Peplow asked if the landscaping on the model provided was indicative of the quantity of material to be used. Mr. Kuspan said yes. Mr. Peplow asked about the 25 percent of road frontage being used for auto display. Ms. Clarke said it is permitted at dealers citywide and includes US 33. Mr. Cline said the pod displays equal 25 percent of the frontage, and the lot coverage is 60 percent. Ms. Clarke said the display pod calculations have not been verified, and Perimeter Center permits up to 75 percent lot coverage. Ivlr. Sprague was impr+esseci by the plan. Mr. Cline said the parking lot will not be seen, and the cars for sale will be artistically arranged_ It will be the best looking dealership Dublin has ever had. Ms. Chiruiici-7,uercher asked if 750 cars was the optimum number or would they have less in the beginning. Mr. Cline said 400 cars were for sale presently. 0.3-1122 R~cot~in~liminary Development Plan Perim~'Ca~ter', Sulu D, MAG Parking Lot VentuceDrive Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -April 10, 1997 Page 10 Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher said this was a tremendous presentation and it offers something unique and different. She said the typical car dealership was not what Dublin wanted at this site. She was concerned about the future of the exisfing MAG site. Mr. Cline said Mr. Brentlinger wanted special cultural events to take place on this site. Ms. Boring asked what the parcel between this and the Crown Mercedes dealership was caned. Ms. Clarke said the 5-acre parcel is zoned for hotels, offices, and OLR uses, with a minimum of two-story structures_ Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher reminded the Commission that two different actions were under review: a rezoning recommendation of a composite plan and action on the development plan. Mr. Lecklider said it was a fabulous design_ He was concerned.about.the height of the fingers to the southwest. He liked the treatment of the parking on the interior side. Mr. Harlan said it was good to have MAG relocate within Dublin.. He said was considering approval of the composite plan and tabling the development plan, so that details could be examined more carefully. He however, did not see anything he did not like. Ms. Boring thanked everyone for their thoroughness. She said the model helped a lot. She said Council did not want to see auto dealerships all along US 33. She Liked the site layout. This design will set the standard for the remaining properties along the freeway. Mr. Ferraza also was glad ~to have MAG remain in Dublin. He had no problems with the composite plan. He said the new information for the development plan needed tv be absorbed. Mr. Peplow said the building architecture blended well with the other car dealerships nearby. He agreed that the development plan needed further verification by staff. Mr. Sprague said the time, thought, and attention to detail put into this plan were very impressive. MAG has exceeded Dublin's high standards. He was concerned about.the height of the mounds. Ms. Clarke said a note on the grading plan indicated that there would be a s'uc-foot mound between US 33 and the site, but it was not indicated on the grading plan. It only shows the elevated fingers which is the opposite of what the Code intended. Phis particular grading plan has never been done elsewhere. Ms. Clarke said because this was such a specialized design, she thought it worthy of discussion at this meeting. Mr. Lecklider's concerns were also raised by staff. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher asked if the Infiniti dealership at the Sawmill/I-270 has display mounding. Ms. Clarke said a small area was approved but never constructed. She said Code requires a rim of one-foot high vegetation in front of auto display, and the fingers have none. By Code, a 3-inch caliper tree is required every 30 feet for vetricular display. Staff is most concerned with the 03-1122 RcconinglPrelimina~y Development Pian Paimda- Carter, Subama D, MAG Parlcinl Lot VauureDrive Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -April 10, 1997 Page 11 uplighting at the end of the fingers which will not comply with the Dublin Lighting Guidelines. Mr. Ferrara asked about other Dublin dealerships using this type of display elevation and lighting. Ms. Clarke said the door will be open to other dealerships. She said if that was not the Commission's intention to approve such a design elsewhere, this is not a good site plan. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher asked if any other dealership had submitted a creative way of presenting themselves. Mr. Ferrara said Infiniti had by using their remote location for display. Mr. Cline said there needs to be differentiation on why this manner of display was permitted and another was not. He said this plan has fewer vehicles displayed from the street (70) than other dealers have now. Mr. Ferrara. said three dealers are affected by the SR 161 widening; and he predicted that they will have new plans which may include elevated display areas. Mr. Harian said this development plan should be tabied so the Commission could give specific reasons why this plan was approved for the record at a later date. Mr. Ferrara said the Commission should not give anyone a competitive advantage. He asked for ciarification of Condition 1. Ms. Clarke said the text made several references to the plan for standards, but the plan was not specific or did not conform to Codes as required by the text. The text language is different from the Mercedes text: visual sales gimmicks are not permitted on the Mercedes "site", and the MAG text says none are permitted on the cars. Lighting cannot be brought into compliance with the Dublin Lighting Guidelines, but the text says otherwise. Staff Wends to verify the auto display calculations and the signage conflicts. Mr. Sprague said issues still needed to be reviewed. 'This may set a precedent in the future, and the justification should be solid. Mr. Peplow agreed. Ms. Clarke said the text needs improvement and the northern building was not mentioned in it. Mr. Ferrara said he did not want to sit through another presentation, but felt the development plan should be tabled. Ms. Boring, Mr_ Harian and Mr. Lecklider agreed. Mr. Banchefsky said only the composite plan and not tt-e development plan will be reviewed by Council. Mr. Cline said the development plan will be presented with the composite plan. Mr. Cline asked if the developrent plan could be tabled to May 1. Mr. Ferrara made the motion to approve the revised composite plan bocause it is a compatible use, presents the desired character along iJS 33/SR 161, and conforms to the PCD regulations and the Community Plan, with six conditions: 03-112"l.

(Tabled 7-0.) Mr. Ferrara wanted to make sure that all information was distributed to the Commission in time to review it carefully. Ms. Clarke said she needed to talk to Mr. Cline about the meeting dates. Mr. Cline said the rezoning composite plan needed to be heard by Council on May 19 in order to not hold up the TIF. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher preferred that this case be heard on May 1, so that if there were any problems, there would be another meeting available before the Council review. 4.
