angle parking shown on the concept plan to encourage the one-way flow of traffic from south to north. The southern driveway most likely will be realigned to facilitate the flow of traffic into the parking area and loading space for trucks. 3.3 Preliminary site development plans have been submitted, with a concept plan showing a parking arrangement with 12 parking spaces and loading area. Assuming that 15 percent of the building is used for storage area or non-productive common space, the number of off-street parking spaces proposed (12) for 8,500 net sJ., including 1,700 square feet of office/showroom space, is not adequate. Based on the City Code requirements, 31 spaces are required. 1,700 s. f. of office and showroom @ 5 spaces per 1,000 = 8 spaces 6,800 s. f. of manufacturing @ 4 spaces + 1space/800 sJ = 12.5 spaces In manufacturing space, 1 space is allotted for each employee = 10 spaces At the September Planning Commission meeting, the lack of parking on site was discussed at length. The Commission also discussed the need to include the northern (residential) parcel of the Schreier's in the PUD in order to provide adequate area for parking if there was a change in occupancy or operation of the business. 3.4 The site is currently served by municipal utilities. Since the impervious surface area will increase with the expansion of the off-street parking area, storm water detention must be developed on the site. 3.5 Engineering staff review of the proposal indicates that no additional roadway dedication or easement is required for Cleveland Avenue in accordance with the Ramsey County master street plan. 3.6 With the proposed change in use, the number of trips is expected to increase. The number of trips generated by 6,800 square foot light industrial use (2.0 to 3.5 trips/employee) is estimated at 20 to 35 trips a day. The number of trips generated by a net 1,700 square foot showroom/office center is 30 - 40 trips per day (Institute of Transportation Engineers). The 1997 average daily traffic count for Cleveland Avenue was approximately 8,000 ADT, with a forecasted increase to 12,800 ADT by 2001, with a capacity of 18,000 by 2010. 3.7 To the north on Cleveland at County Rd. D, the 3 communities adjoining this intersection (Roseville, New Brighton, and Arden Hills) jointly applied for a grant to create a more residential, pedestrian connected area from Cleveland to Fairview. 3.8 Chapter 1008 and 1015 of the City Code outlines the procedure for PUDs and amendments to the Zoning Code, respectively, including the rezoning of specific properties.
