The applicant has requested a Site Plan Review for a reduction in the number of required parking <br />stalls for the proposed use of the building. Under the City Zoning Code, the number of spaces <br />required for a specific use may be reduced through the Site Plan Review process if <br />documentation can be provided that a lesser number of spaces will actually be needed. Based on <br />the proposed mix of uses 60 parking stalls would be required, 34 more than the number provided <br />on the site plan. <br /> <br />Frattallone’s intends to have only 13 administrative staff working at the site and does not foresee <br />growing their office staff to more than 25. The applicant also does not expect the proposed <br />accessory storage use to have an impact on the parking needs for the site. This area in the <br />building will be used for storing winter materials in the summer months and lawn and garden <br />equipment during the winter. Loading and unloading of materials will only occur seasonally with <br />little or no freight traffic for the remaining part of the year. Frattallone’s would not maintain a <br />regular warehousing staff on the site, therefore, off-street parking for this use in the building is <br />not needed. <br /> <br />The applicant has provided a letter explaining why a reduced number of parking stalls will be <br />sufficient for the proposed use (Attachment A). A site plan and the construction plans for the <br />office remodel have also been provided (Attachment C). <br />2.
