The fire flow requirements shall be determined by UFC Appendix 111-A. Under the provisions of Appendix III -A, the required fire flow for your project is 1500 gpm. In order to approve the building permit application, the applicant must (a) provide a hydrant within 250 feet from any portion of the building, which is currently provided , and secondly test said hydrant to ensure that the flow at 20 PSI residual will flow 1500 gpm. I trust this is the information you require. Sincerely, R ert D. Poskin, C.B.O. Senior Plans Examiner 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 (503) 639 -4171 TDD (503) 684 -2772 July 29, 1998 t Peter Kappertz Copy ®P ©A Off Kappertz Design Corp. 345 SW 6th Street ©Q78CDf1 Gresham, OR 97080 Dear Mr. Kappertz: This letter is in response to your request for Minor Modification approval to modify the Chevron gas station at 15670 SW Upper Boones Ferry Rd. The request is to expand the existing convenience store into the location of the existing service area, replace the existing six (6) fuel dispensers and canopy with four (4) dispensers and a larger canopy, adding an attendant's booth. This property is zoned General Commercial (C -G). The present use of the site is listed as a conditional use for this zoning district. The existing facility has been in operation since 1966, however, the site was not annexed until 1976. Staff has no record of land use approvals at this location other than sign related permits and building permits. The Tigard Community Development Code Conditional Use chapter allows the Director to approve, approve with conditions or deny expansions to existing Conditional Use permits. To review a modification as a minor modification, the Director must first find that the expansion does not invoke one or more of the 10 criteria for a major modification. Section 18.130.050.B. indicates that if the requested modification meets any of the major modification criteria, the request shall be reviewed as a new Conditional Use application. Section 18.130.050.B. states that the Director shall determine that a major modification(s) will result if one (1) or more of the following changes are proposed: 1. A change in land use. The use of the land before and after the modification is a vehicle fuel sales and, therefore, does not trigger a major modification. 2. An increase in dwelling unit density. The proposal does not involve a residential development; therefore, this standard does not apply. 3. A ten percent change in the ratio of the different types of dwelling units to the number of units. This criterion is not applicable, as this request does not involve a residential development. 4. A change in the type of commercial or industrial structures. No change in the structural occupancy type of the building is proposed. Page 1 of 3 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 (503) 639 -4171 TDD (503) 684 -2772 5. A change in the type and location of accessways and parking areas where off -site traffic would be affected. This request will not require a change in accessways or parking areas where off -site traffic would be affected. 6. An increase in the floor area proposed for non - residential use by more than 10 percent where previously specified. The building is not being enlarged, only re- modeled. Therefore, this proposal will not result in an increase in floor area. 7. A reduction of more than 10 percent of the area reserved for common open space and /or usable open space. There is no area reserved for common open space; therefore, this standard does not apply. 8. A reduction of specified setback requirements by more than 20 percent. The setbacks will remain the same as before the modification; therefore, this criterion does not trigger a major modification. 9. An elimination of project amenities by more than ten percent where previously specified provided such as: a. Recreational facilities; b. Screening; or, c. Landscaping provisions. The current landscaping percentage is below that required by the code. Originally, there was more landscaping, however, dedication of right -of -way for SW Upper Boones Ferry Road resulted in a reduced landscaping percentage on -site. There is still a significant amount of landscaping within the right -of -way. The proposal involves adding additional landscaping to the side property line to create a buffer area and increasing landscaping at the front of the site, facing the street. The result will be an increase in landscaping which will better comply with the existing development code standards. No other project amenities will be reduced; therefore, this standard has been satisfied. 10. A ten percent increase in the approved density. The site does not involve a residential development; therefore, this standard does not apply. This request is determined to be a minor modification to an existing Conditional Use. The proposal complies with the following relevant Tigard Community Development Code standards: 18.106 - Off - street Parking; 18.108 - Access, Egress and Circulation; 18.100 - Landscaping and Screening (after the proposed improvements); 18.116 - Solid Waste and Recyclables; and 18. 96 - Additional Yard Setback Requirements. Based on the finding that the proposal is a minor modification and complies with the development code standards, the Director's designee has determined that the proposed minor modification will continue to promote the general welfare of the City and will not be significantly detrimental nor injurious to surrounding properties, provided that development which occurs after this decision complies with all applicable local, state, and federal laws. THIS REQUEST FOR MINOR MODIFICATION APPROVAL HAS BEEN APPROVED SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 7/29/98 Letter to Peter Kappertz, Kappertz Design Corp.
