PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: • 7 November 1984 1554-84 American Redevelopers, Inc. North of County Road B-2, West of Fry Street Approval of Shopping Center Plan Variance to Parking Requirements 1. This proposal was initially considered by the Planning Commission at its January meeting of 1984, subsequent to which the Planning Commission and Council approved the rezoning, a variance to the setback requirement, and the shopping center development plan. For details regarding that plan you may wish to refer to the 4 January 1984 planning report„ 2. That plan, you will recall, consisted of a three level shopping center and a two level parking ramp. Several months ago, the project went out for bids and the bids came in 50 percent over budget. At that point, representatives of the architects and developers met with the City staff and proposed revisions to the plans to reduce the shopping center to two levels, extend the building footprint 12 feet to the southwest, and to eliminate the parking ramp in favor of single level, at -grade parking. These changes were so substantial that the staff recommended the applicants file for approval of a revised plan, and a variance to c.a parking requirements which are now proposed to be slightly less than that required by Ordinance. 3. The original proposal included 88,000 square feet of gross leasable retail space, 700 seats in restaurants, and a 2,065 seat theatre complex.

The current proposal is for 489612 square feet of gross leasable area for retail, 112900 square feet in restaurants, 22,259 square feet in health studio, and 28,274 square feet in the theatre. We do not have a revised count of restaurant seating space or seating capacity in the theatres at this time. However, we will get more definitive numbers from the developers prior to the Planning Commission meeting. 4. The current proposal is to provide approximately 678 parking spaces. According to the square footage calculation, the applicants indicate the requirements of 749 spaces. Thus, according to these figures, the development would be approximately 71 spaces short. Today (1 November), we have received a revised parking plan which changes the configuration of the parking in the southerly portion of the parking area. They have gone from an angle parking plan to a perpendicular plan in this area of the parking lot. This plan, however, does not indicate total parking capacity and thus, we shall have to consult with the developer's architect to
