The site could still function adequately if the Lexington Avenue entrance is closed off. Off-Street Parking Dimensions and Location – Section 1325.06, Subd. 1(A)(D) The Zoning Code requires that parking stalls have minimum dimensions of 9 feet in width by 18 feet in length. All of the proposed parking stalls would satisfy this requirement. Parking areas are required to be a minimum of 20 feet from public right-of-way lines. The existing parking lot is setback approximately 25 feet from Lexington Avenue and 10 feet from County Road F. The proposal would not expand the parking area closer to either right-of-way line. Off-Street Parking Spaces Required – Section 1325.06, Subd. 1(J) For daycare, nursery, and pre-school facilities, a minimum of one parking stall is required for each teacher or employee and one parking stall is required for each five individual receiving care based on design capacity. The proposed number of staff is 24 and the design capacity of the facility is for 176 students. Based on these assumptions, 60 parking stalls are required. The site plan shows a total of 70 stalls for a surplus of 10 stalls. 2. Sign Regulations A.
