Summary

Commission approved the final site plan for the 40 West booster pump station replacement (1001 A West Patrick Street), a city utility project exempt from APFO, with a condition to record an access easement through the adjacent shopping center.

The Planning Commission approved the final site plan for the 40 West booster pump station replacement (PC25‑487 FSI) located at 1001 A West Patrick Street. Staff described the project as a public utility replacement that will move an underground facility to a larger above‑ground structure and noted the project is exempt from adequate public facilities analysis under city code because it is a municipal project.

The site will be secured with an eight‑foot fence (no barbed wire) and buffered from the roadway with hedges and shrubbery; staff said previous workshop comments prompted additional architectural changes to the roofline. Jeff Wyling, engineer with GHD, and Ron Wingfield (DPW) described the site and noted the parcel has been acquired by the city to support the move.

Staff recommended approval with the condition that a recorded access easement through the adjacent shopping center be granted; commissioners approved the action 4–0.
