This item was brought before the Planning and Zoning Commission on February 2nd after the commission heard � • commentabout these ratios during the public hearing for the annual update of the L;YI . G)fi4, Unified Development Ordinance. Staff recommends adding to the off- street parking table a ratio for freestanding furniture sales at one (1) space per 350 square feet, and amending the ratio for motor vehicle service areas from one (1) space per 100 square feet to one (1 ) space per 200 square feet. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this amendment. \C ti\it-v V" V-O 4 pct CRbS Motor vehicle service area: The ratio for motor vehicle sales was set by the Planning and Zoning Commission in 1984 in response to the development of the Allen Honda dealership at 1 space per 100 square feet of service area. Based on a survey of 23 cities (aelagabligNatekstL staff found that College Station's ratio for this use was the most stringent. The average ratio for those cities was 1 :300. This amendment would not affect the amount of additional parking that is required for motor vehicle sales areas. Furniture sales: There currently is no separate item in the parking table for furniture sales. It is currently considered retail sales and parking is calculated based on the zoning district the use is located. For C-1 retail, parking is 1 space per 250 square feet. Retail in C-2 requires 1 space per 350 square feet. Staff conducted a survey of 22 cities for furniture sales parking and found a large range of parking ratios. The average parking ratio was 1 space per 350 square feet. Based on the large displays of furniture sales and discussions with the applicant about their maximum parking demand, staff is recommending a decrease in the number of required parking spaces for freestanding furniture sales. This would not affect furniture sales that are located in shopping centers. It is also important to note that should a freestanding furniture retailer be converted to any other retail, additional parking would be required. J Souv 4-T ye N(i k Okla_ MEMORANDUM Z-Ct ()) ti SUBJECT: Text amendments to the UDO, 7.2.H, Number of Off- Street Parking Spaces Required Staff recommends adding to the off-street parking table a ratio for freestanding furniture sales at one (1) space per 350 square feet, and amending the ratio for motor vehicle service areas from one (1) space per 100 square feet to one (1) space per 200 square feet. Item Summary: As a result of the discussion for the UDO Annual Review, parking ratios for furniture sales and motor vehicle service areas were brought forward from the public during the public hearing. These parking ratios were brought forward as a result of the development of a Furniture store on the property north of Varsity Ford. The discussion between staff and the applicant brought the parking ratios into question. Based on a variance request to these ratios, staff spent time researching a sample of Texas communities and the parking ratios for furniture sales and motor vehicles service area. Although there has been discussion about revisions all off street parking requirements, we are bringing these ratios to you for consideration while discourse continues about the overall philosophy of off street parking continues. v C0 MAke ki cAaAl A O Sot \' % v-e z.° 4- in Pcwe,v vea po.v , Motor vehicle service area: The ratio for motor vehicle sales was set by the Planning and Zoning Commission in 1984 in response to the development of the Allen Honda dealership at 1 space per 100 square feet of service area.
