RE: SDP 00-024: North Fork Research Park,District 2,Buildings #1 & #2 Preliminary Plan
Dear Chris:
The Planning Commission, on its May 16, 2000 Consent Agenda, granted approval of your request for the
following waivers: Section 4.2.3.2 of the Zoning Ordinance which prohibits disturbance of critical slopes;
Section 4.12 6 5(C) of the Zoning Ordinance which prohibits curvilinear parking; and modification of Section
4.12.7.2(B) of the Zoning Ordinance which requires one(1)loading space for every 8,000 square feet of office
space. The Site Plan has been administratively approved.
The approval of the preliminary site plan is valid for(1) one year in accordance with Zoning Ordinance
Section 32.4.3 1. Therefore, the preliminary approval shall expire May 16,2001. If the preliminary site plan
approval expires, a new application must be filed and processed.
Please address all of the requirements and conditions listed below and submit six(6)tentative plan copies to
Bill Fritz in the Department of Building Codes and Zoning Services. This letter must be submitted with the
tentative plans, as a checklist, to document that you have addressed all requirements or conditions, if not, the
tentative plan will be denied. A submission and review schedule is attached for your information.
The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and the BMP Stormwater Management Plan, with the associated
applications and fees, may also be submitted with the six(6)tentative Plans. Failure to do so will result in a
separate application to be filed with the Engineering Department at a later date.
After the initial tentative plan submittal, each department/agency will contact you to discuss any remaining
conditions. After all aforementioned department/agencies have granted a tentative approval, you may submit
the final mylars (2 sets), one blueprint copy, final site plan application, final site plan fee, and a copy of all
written tentative approvals to the Department of Planning and Community Development by 5 00 p.m. on any
Monday. Assuming that the final site plan mylars reflect all tentative approvals, signing of the plans will
occur four days later, on Thursday
The final site plan will be subject to all final site plan requirements (Zoning Ordinance Section 32.6), in
addition to the following conditions
1. The Planning Depa.:.,,d-nt shall not accept submittal of the final plan for signature until tentative
approvals for the following conditions have been obtained. The final site plan shall not be signed
until the following conditions are met:
❑ A. Planning Department approval to include:
❑ 1 [4.12.6.2] Parking areas shall be designed to facilitate unimpeded flow of on-site traffic in
circulation patterns readily recognizable and predictable to motorists and pedestrians. Parking areas
shall be arranged in a fashion to encourage pedestrian access to buildings and to minimize internal
automotive movement.
• Provide a clearly marked pedestrian walkway across the parking lot between the two
buildings. The sidewalks shown, (along the southern parking lot travelway and then to
building#2), make no sense for this particular development—please remove them. You can
accomplish pedestrian access across the parking lot from building #1 to building #2 with
striping. This would not necessitate removal of any parking spaces.
❑ 2. [32.3.8]No change, revision or erasure shall be made on any preliminary or final site plan nor
on any accompanying data sheet unless authorization for such change is granted in writing by the
agent, except when such change has been required by the site review committee or the commission.
Any site plan may be revised, provided that a request for such revision shall be submitted and
processed in the same manner as the original site plan.

to the original PRA site plan and must be submitted as such.

• Clearly distinguish, with labels, those setbacks which are building setbacks from those which
are parking setbacks from those that are buffer zones. These are three (3) different things and
should be labeled as such; all these areas continue to be shown as"buffer zone"on the plan.

luminaires are in compliance with 4.17.4 b.
❑ 7. [ZMA 95-04] Proffer 3.1. Based on the requirement that construction could not exceed 500,000
sf in the initial year and shall not exceed 200,000 sf plus undeveloped square footage, a tally of the
