The process also allows the City to impose those conditions it considers necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. 2JJ. BACKGROUND 2.1 ACR Homes, Inc. holds a purchase agreement for the property at 2215 Snelling Avenue N, which is owned by Marco Property Management (Irving Margolis and Teddy Wong). The .56 acre parcel is located in a B3, General Business District, and the Comprehensive Plan designates the property as Business. Adjacent land uses include high density residential to the north and northwest, and commercial to the east, south, and west. / 2.2 The site is occupied by a 4,050 square foot building. This building was previously used as a medical office building; however, it has been vacant for several years. The site development plan submitted by the applicant shows 3,410 square feet of the building remaining as office area for ACR Homes, Inc., and the conversion of 640 square feet for a Blimpie's restaurant with 40 seats. 2.3 When the restaurant in Rosewood Center, the multi-tenant retail center to the south, was converted to an Outback Steakhouse earlier this year, an analysis of parking at this facility was undertaken. Based on the findings of this analysis, the City required a cross parking and access easement between this property and the property at 2215 Snelling Avenue, which are both owned by Marco Property Management, in order to meet the required off-street parking requirements. A minimum of 45 off-street parking spaces was to be provided on the 2215 Snelling RCA (PF2945) - 09/22/97 - Page 1 of 4
