In 2015, the City approved a Site Plan Review and Variance in Planning Case 15-003 permitting CSM to construct 22 parking stalls at 4293 Lexington Avenue. The additional parking stalls were never constructed and the approval has since expired. A Variance was needed in this case to allow the parking area to encroach within the five-foot setback from the side property line. Staff has recommended that CSM apply for the proposed parking expansion through the PUD process given that the properties currently function as a single entity and in order to clean up the past planning case history for the site. The proposal would include new parking stalls located in several areas throughout the properties. Parking would be accessible to all tenants within the development: • 14 stalls along the western side of 4295 Lexington Avenue • 8 stalls in the northwestern corner of 4293 Lexington Avenue • 22 stalls along the southwestern side of 4293 Lexington Avenue • 15 stalls in the northwestern corner of 4255 Lexington avenue The applicant has submitted a development plan set including an overall site plan, grading plan, utility plan, landscape plan, and fire truck turning exhibit (Attachment Q. Plan Evaluation A full evaluation of the proposal was presented to the Planning Commission on May 3, 2017. The staff report to the Planning Commission on this case is included in Attachment D. The following section provides a summary of areas where flexibility is needed from the underlying City Code standards through the PUD process. Off-Street Parking Spaces Required The number of parking stalls required by the City Code is determined based on the type of land use proposed for a site. Based on the current uses on the site, 618 parking stalls are required. There are currently 532 parking stalls on the site for a deficit of 86 stalls. The proposed project would add 59 stalls for a total of 591 stalls.
