Applicant is proposing a 8’ high screen wall. 2. § 25-14.3: A minimum illumination of 2.0 foot-candle levels are required within B-2 Zone Parking Areas. Applicant is proposing 0.6 foot-candle levels within the site’s parking areas. 3. § 25-14.4.l: A maximum canopy projection of 6’-0” is permitted. Applicant is proposing a canopy projection of 8’-7”, including a canopy-mounted sign (the existing canopy projects 8”-0”, so the increase is solely due to the sign). 4. § 25-14.4.l: The maximum canopy sign height is 8”. Applicant proposes a canopy sign height of 1’-6”. The Project scope of work encompasses the following: Interior Work:  Refit approximately 18,767 square feet of existing tenant space within the Main Building for occupancy by Trader Joe’s. There will be no expansion to the existing building envelope.  Alter the interior to include new display fixtures, refrigeration equipment, new ceilings, lighting, mechanical HVAC equipment, and floor and wall finishes. Exterior Work:  Remove the existing outdoor greenhouse sales area used by previous tenant, “Metropolitan Plant Exchange,” and replace with twenty-two (22) new parking spaces, including four (4) ADA spaces and four (4) EV spaces, to be situated within the western portion of the site. The addition of 22 new parking spaces will bring the new total of off-street parking spaces at the site to 187 spaces (191 with EV credit), an increase from the existing 165 spaces. A new concrete sidewalk will also be provided in this vicinity.
