tervi[[e 'Esta6fishaf 1857 STAFF REpORT DATE: September 2, 2003 TO: Planning and Zoning Commissioners FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, City Administrator RE: 7035 - 20th Avenue - Site Plan Approval and Parking Space Variance Request ......................................................................... Scott Montgomery and Paul Kelier of Sedona Homes are proposing to build an office park on 7035 - 20th Avenue. The units will be constructed to look like twin homes, thereby more closely reflecting the characteristics of the residential area to the west of the site. The proposed site plan also shows a picnic/community area simulating a residential park area. Mr. Montgomery and Mr. Kelier are also requesting a variance to the City's parking space ordinance. Under their current proposed site plan, this project has 128 parking spaces planned for 18 units, which are approximately 7 spaces per unit or 3.5 spaces per 1000 SF. Ordinance #4 specifies that offices require 5 spaces per 1000 SF; general services requires 4 spaces per 1000 SF; and trade business requires 3 spaces per 1000 SF. The definitions of these categories were not part of the Ordinance and Staff was unable to determine which one was the most appropriate for this proposed project. The proposed uses for this office park included law offices, real estate offices, mortgage offices, CPA offices, etc. Mr. Kelier suggested that Staff visit their office park off of Rice Street / 1649 as that office park is very similar to what they are proposing for Centerville. Staff did visit the Rice Street site and did find that it is very similar to the proposed project. The use was small offices; they are mostly law offices, CPA offices, etc. The parking lot was approximately two-thirds full at 2:00 p.m., with little to no vehicular traffic. 0~ / ft.A~ 1l~l#J;' or", tt ,,w- ~ q~~ ~~1J,<I0 -r ,~~ ~-f(}%Yl- 11 ~t? /3! p~ t7f~ ~ ;;J, I C;1fv S "7. 7 r-r /.L.,:J..
