Everest Property Management Company, Case No. 1868 Page 2 4. We have talked about the parking since conversion of the entire structure for retail use would require additional parking space, depending upon the actual retail use included. A drawing has been submitted, a copy of which is attached, and indicates expansion of the parking space' to the west from 15 spaces to 33 spaces, a net increase of 18 spaces for the site. Existing parking accommodations for the total site is 61 spaces. The additional 18 spaces would produce a total of 79 spaces. 5. The existing parking setback under the Industrial zone is 20 feet, and the building setback required is 40 feet. The existing development conforms to these requirements. The B-4 District requires a parking setback of 15 feet, thus, the parking expansion as proposed can be accommodated within the regulations. M Attached is a copy of a statement from the applicant outlining his proposal. you will note that the applicant suggests that for the uses as immediately contemplated, the parking that exists will be adequate. This may well be true, at least for a period of time since The Tile Shop proposed is generally a "large ticket" operation requiring more parking The City's parking requirement for retail space is 5 spaces per 1,000 gross. on that basis, the entire site would require 147 spaces (if all of the space were devoted to typical retail use). 7. If additional parking is added now, there will be a substantial reduction in grass area and an increase in asphalt area. Since portions of the site may continue for office warehouse purposes not requiring additional parking, it may be appropriate to consider rezoning the land and approval of the Special Use Permit without requiring additional parking at this time. As each use is added or changed, the appropriate amount of parking will be required as a part of the building permit process. Therefore, it may be appropriate to approve the application as proposed with the condition that if additional parking is needed, the 18 spaces will be added at the discretion of the City. In other words, the City would notify the managers of this property at a point in time that a parking problem is perceived (usually as evidence by excessive parking on the contiguous right-of-way). The other option would be to require the addition of the expanded parking at this time.
