BACKGROUND <br /> <br />This is an :ipplica!ion that i:> intended to facilitat~ the convE;rsion of a <br />one-story, corY . :<Jck, light industrial building to ~ retail/showroom <br />"se. A !'e:F ,': :,-'" 1-1 to 8-4 wi!1 be required to 3ccomplish this <br />obiecth;e. Ths rezoning is consistent with the Comprehe;1sive P:~'. <br /> <br />Since the bu!lding and lot ware developed to serve a light <br />purpose, it is not surprising that the number of existing parkin,. <br />is not adequate to meet the City's retail standards. There are ~e'~. al <br />factors that must be addressed to review this subject, which are <br />outlined below. <br /> <br />Also, the ordinance currently allo"s for two pyla;, signs to be placed on <br />this site, with a to~al of 100 square fe: each (for a total of 200 <br />square feet). The applicants' request is for a single pyion sign with a <br />total of 200 square feet. This request requires a variance. <br /> <br />We hsve discussed this issue with the developers and they havE <br />submitted a memo,an,~um desci'ibinc the characteristics of their current <br />tenant, Schm~idermans (a furniture ;tore). am:! a description of the types <br />of tenants that they project for the building. As you will note in <br />reviewing t~js information, anothr;. tenant, Uebermar.~, has approximately <br />2/3 of their sp,>ce devoted to storage. Given the nature of t:1e <br />pro,>p~ctive tenants, it is likely that they also wou!o have a significant <br />percentage at stora]c iJr<:a as part 01 [nea' space ieyu;, e''''''It..". <br /> <br /> <br />,\ literai interpret3tion cf the Code wculd inl,:cate thot the 179 <br />aV'3i!abJe pa;ki!"l spaces ",;ouid ailo\'! :;5 percent of the space within this <br />buiidintj to be used for reteii purposes.
