MEMORANDUM
Date:August 14, 2008
To:Street File
From:Mike Clugston, Planner
Subject:Staff Design Review for BLD-2008-0528
As part of the Citys review of the above permit, design review was required per ECDC 20.10.
Because the installation of the oxygen tank and fencing did not exceed the threshold requiring
Architectural Design Board review, the review was completed by staff.
This proposal
involves the
placement of a
large concrete
pad at the
southwest
corner of the
parcel in a
landscaped area
adjacent to the
existing parking
lot at 21911
th
76 Avenue
West (see
inset). A 19
tall oxygen tank
will be placed
on a portion of
the pad which
will be enclosed
by a 6 security
fence (see
below). The
proposed
development meets both setback and height requirements for the CG2 zone, including the 15
setback from the adjacent R-zoned parcel to the west.
With respect to the design criteria in the Comprehensive Plan and in ECDC 16.60.030, the
proposal is approved with conditions. For safety reasons, the installation will be surrounded by a
6 metal chain link fence. In fact, the applicant shall work with the owner of the parcel to the
southwest to replace an existing length of wood fence on that property with a non-combustible
material. Some recently installed ground cover will be removed to install the concrete pad but
the landscaped setback areas will remain intact. Four existing shrubs will be relocated to aid in
screening the installation. The installation will not be lit. No signs shall be installed on the
fencing or tank other than those required by code for safety purposes.
