WHEREAS, There is landscaped berm on the east side of this property that was previously installed to
help screen the overall Commerce Center development from the neighbors to the east, and
WHEREAS, The original landscape included as part of PC 014-2019 had various areas of gaps on the
berm where there was not adequate landscape screening, and
WHEREAS, The applicant then submitted a landscaping plan for staff review with six (6) new spruce
trees that would be six feet (6’) tall at planting, and
WHEREAS, After review of said plan noted above, a further revised landscape plan was submitted that
shows 13 trees all at eight (8’) feet in height at the time of planting , and
WHEREAS, A large transformer unit was also relocated on site to a location in front of the building in a
landscape island and it is proposed to be screened with landscaping that does not do an adequate job of

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission approves of a Building, Site, and Operation
Plan Amendment for Interstate Partners/Commerce Center Industrial Lands LLC. for the property located
in the NW ¼ of Section 2 (S64 W15591 Commerce Center Parkway / Tax Key No. 2166.997.008).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, All conditions of approval from Resolution PC 014-2019 remain effective.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The landscaping plan submitted with 13 separate plantings at eight (8’)
feet in height is sufficient to fill gaps within the existing trees, while noting that the building will never be
100% screened due to its height and location.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The transformer will need to be screened with densely spaced 6’
arborvitae, or similar, to ensure adequate screening on the west, north and east sides and the south side
should contain the door of the transformer and can have smaller scale screening plantings due to the
required door access.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, All roof top and ground mechanicals (including HVAC devices, electrical
transformers, etc.) must be screened from view and/or incorporated into the design of the site/structure
(screening, etc.) and must be approved by the Planning Division before the issuance of building permits
and Business Registration approvals.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That failure to comply with the approval contained in this resolution shall
result in the imposition of fines of $100 per day, the initiation of legal action, or both.
