Staff question parking math, landscaping and lighting for Wildlight fire station
Summary
Planning and building staff pressed the Fire Station 30 applicant to verify whether vehicle bays are included in the 10,981 sq ft figure used for parking; staff also reminded the applicant of landscaping and lighting standards and that lighting plans must be stamped by a registered architect or engineer.
Planning staff raised a code compliance question about the project’s parking count during the development review pre-application for Fire Station 30. Staff noted a parking standard of one space per 400 square feet of air-conditioned area and said the application listed 10,981 square feet, which "would go divided by 400 is, like, 27.4," while the plan showed 24 spaces. The planning reviewer asked whether all of the listed area should be treated as air-conditioned space or whether vehicle bays were included in that total; the applicant said he would confirm the square footage and adjust the parking if necessary.
Staff also pointed to landscaping requirements in LDC Article 37 and said public area lighting must be shielded and submitted by a certified registered architect or engineer. The building and planning departments urged the applicant to provide plans showing the air-conditioned area breakdown so staff can verify the required parking and landscaping compliance.
Provenance: Planning staff raised the parking ratio and the 10,981 sq ft figure (SEG 062–SEG 071 and SEG 065–SEG 069); landscaping and lighting references are in SEG 128–SEG 133.
