parking arrangement, and landscaping must be constructed in accordance with the plans approved. 5. The total parkin(, accommodation for the two uses (the office building and the shopping center) is 23 parking spaces short of the requirements. The provisions for this are made in a section of the Zoning Ordinance dealing with the joint use of parking which specifies that up to 50 percent of the parking requirements can be accommodated by combining principally daytime uses with nighttime uses. Strictly speaking, neither the office building nor the shopping center is a nighttime use. For purposes of accommodating 23 cars, however, we suggest that the joint use of spaces utilized by the office building, where such users may shop in the center will be such that the spirit of this policy will be carried out. Another factor is the fact that all of the parking spaces are designed for standard cars at nine foot width per car. Roseville Ordinance allows for up to 50 percent of the required parking spaces to be reduced for compact cars, if properly organized and marked with a parking width of eight feet. As more and more compact, or sub -compact cars are put into use, if there is a parkin inadequacy in g the future, q Y e, such reorganization of parking width could be readily accommodated on this site. Thus, it would appear not to be a significant problem for the future. The parking capacity we have been discussing includes the future accommodation of a 10400 square foot addition to the shopping center near the south- westerly corner. Until that addition is constructed, the parking capacity is far more than adequate. Perhaps by the time tint addition is constructed, it will be appropriate to reduce some of the park ,.ig bays to the allowable compact widths. The current parking arrangement I:-oposed with the nine foot stalls is the same as that utilized at Rosedale, except that some of the stalls in Rosedale are slightly under nine feet. G. In summary, it would appear that the redevelopment proposal is consistent with the city's policy of improving the aesthetic quality of the business areas, while providing for a more efficient use of the land, and providing for substantially improved tax base through the process of redevelopment. The Planning Commission and Council could disapprove the plan based oi: the parking capacity, which would likely result; in the reduction of square footage in either the office building or the future shopping center addition. ;Should the Planning Commission and Council choose to approve the development the following action may be appropriate: a. Approval of the Special Use Permit for site plan review as per Sheets 1, 2, and 5, dated 5 January 1983, and as per Landscape Plan dated 3 January 1983. b. Approval of Lot Division as per Sheet 2 of drawings dated 5 January 1983.
