In the case of any commercial or industrial structure, the review authority <br />shall consider its proximity to any R District and shall consider the effect of <br />the proposed structure upon the character and value of the adjacent R <br />District area; <br /> <br />The project is not directly adjacent to a residential zoning district; however, the <br />site is diagonal and in close proximity to an R-2 designated zoning district with <br />single-family and multi-family residential buildings. The structure would not <br />negatively impact the character and value of the closest R District area because <br />it is consistent with the IR Zoning District standards, and the design is compatible <br />with structures in the surrounding area. <br /> <br />I. The provision of permeable areas and drainage design appropriate to <br />capture and treat stormwater runoff prior to its discharge from the site <br />including, but not limited to, the use of vegetated swales, landscape <br />features, permeable pavement materials, infiltration basins or engineered <br />designs. <br /> <br />The project complies with the zoning standards for permeable area onsite. The <br />project’s landscaping features would provide appropriate drainage to capture and <br />treat stormwater using flow-through planters and bioretention areas. In addition, <br />a Condition of Approval has also been incorporated that would ensure compliance <br />with the stormwater runoff requirements per the City’s Engineering standards. <br /> <br />Section 4.

The lot combination <br />allows the creation of a single developable parcel. <br /> <br />B. The site is not physically suited for the proposed type or density of <br />development. <br /> <br />The project site is physically suited for the proposed type of development. The <br />site is in an urbanized location generally surrounded by office, commercial, retail
