e parts is the Brooklyn Park facility and that location would have the parts that are not as commonly needed. Planning Commissioners: Is the parking sufficient to handle the use? Staff: Proven Force would occupy one of three spaces currently occupied by Sanus Systems. While the applicant's lease does not specifY a cerIa in numher of parking spaces for the use, the current parking spaces appear 10 he sufficient. Subsequent to the meeting staff has reviewed the site plans and confirmed that 81 striped parking spaces are shown on the site plan which was submitted to the City. An aerial photograph of the propcrty from 2003 (attached) indicates approximately 52 cars parked in the lot at that time and 3 trucks at loading docks. The aerial also shows that of those cars parkcd at the time ofthe photograph, only 26 of the 58 spaces in front ofthc building (therefore 26 parked behind or on the side ofthe building; 23 in spaces shown on the plan and 3 illegally parked). Staff has also confirmed that the construction of the service bay doors will not remove any parking spaces from the plan. Furthermore, if the entire property was analyzed using the 'Other Business and Industry' parking standard (which would require II spaces for the applicants proposed use) and taking lI8 of the parking spaces that are shown on the plan; then the number you would come up with would be approximately II parking spaces. Staff believes that this confirms the parking for the site should be adequate to support the applicant's proposed use. . Special Use Permit Document Staff has attached a copy of Special Use Permit 04-08. Copies of the document have been forwarded to the applicant, and the applicant has been asked to have the property owner also review the document. The applicant has indicated that he is comfortable with the Special Use Permit. Planninl!
