Planting Islands – Meets Requirements At least ten (10) percent of a parking and driving area must be occupied by planting islands that are at least 150 square feet in size and have at least one tree. As proposed, Phase 1 of the project meets the minimum requirements with 14.89 percent of the parking lot occupied by planting islands. The Master PUD and future Phase 2 of the project suggest that after the expansion and reconfiguration of the north parking lot, 7.62 percent of the total parking and driving areas on the property will be occupied by planting islands, hence the applicant will be requiring flexibility in the future Phase 2 of the project. Zoning Code Proposed Phase 1 Future Phase 2 Total Percent (%) of Planting Islands 10% Min. 14.89% 5.9% 7.62% Square feet of Planting Islands 63,494 18,172 30,240 48,412 Square feet of Parking Lot -- 122,054 512,886 634,940 D. Off Street Parking Spaces – Meets Requirement The number of parking stalls required by the City Code is determined based on the type of land use proposed for a site. In this case, Land O’Lakes is classified as an office use and is required to provide one (1) parking space for each 250 square feet of gross floor area. Phase 1 of the project does not include any new structures and, therefore, no additional parking spaces are required. However, because the applicant is expanding their Campus in Phase 2 additional parking spaces are required by the City Code. In order to accommodate the proposed construction in Phase 2, the south parking lot is being expanded to provide a total of 267 parking spaces. With the proposed construction of the new 155,000 square foot four (4) story office structure in Phase 2, a total of 1,676 parking spaces are required by the Code. The applicant is proposing that 1,678 parking spaces be constructed between both phases and that an additional 461 proof-of-parking spaces be provided for future expansion.
