willmus, Case No. 2413 Page 2 The property currently complies with most, but not all, of the standards in the Code: - The existing building is· brick and concrete block, with colored awnings over the windows on the south and west sides. - The entire site is paved, curbed, and lighted. - There are four large overstory trees on the County Road B-2 boulevard, along with some lower shrubs there, but there is no internal parking lot landscaping.

The newly adopted standards for rental or leasing of motor vehicles in the B-3 District are contained in section 8.365 of the Code, a copy of which is attached.

The applicant proposes setting aside 50 spaces for the leasing company's cars, as illustrated on the attached plan. The total parking on site would break down as follows:
