This vote was taken at the Board's regular meeting on September 5, 2005. Please contact me at 979.764.3784. Sincerely, Deborah Grace Staff Assistant Secretary to the Board PC: File 3- ( c , I e The request is for a variance to Section 7.2 Minimum Off-Street Parking Standards for the Wings 'n More Restaurant located at 1511 University Dr East. The applicant would like to expand the outdoor patio by 650 square feet for additional seating area and to add an outdoor bar. ( The subject property has approximately 245 feet of frontage along University Drive and ( has several access points via shared access easements throughout the developed restaurant row along University Drive and along the Highway 6 frontage road. VARIANCE INFORMATION Background: The Wings 'n More restaurant was originally site planned and approved in 4� August of 2002. In order for the site plan to be approved, the property owner had to get a joint parking and access agreement for 28 parking spaces from the adjacent property owner where Gateway Phase Two is developed (Linen-N-Things and Pet's Mart). Currently, there are 28 off-site parking spaces permanently dedicated to Wings 'n More. The applicant's proposed expansion will require 10 additional parking spaces by the City of College Station's Unified Development Ordinance. The applicant has offered no special condition or hardship; however a letter has been submitted with supporting information as to why the applicant feels the variance is warranted. As far as Alternatives the applicant has listed four options as foil letter-fr Option 1 - Provide the 10 parking spaces on site. Option 2 - Justify for large-scale development why fewer parking spaces are required based upon a parking study prepared by a professional engineer or transportation planner. Option 3 - Provide an alternative parking plan for shared parking. This requires that the shared parking be provided off-site but within 250 feet of the subject property under a shared parking agreement. This may be accomplished for multiple use developments where the parking of the multiple uses is located near one another and they have different peak parking demands or different operating hours. This shared parking must be enforced with a recorded agreement. Option 4 - Provide an alternative parking plan for off-site exclusive parking where additional or"extra" parking is provided on an adjacent lot (not more than 250 feet away) and these spaces cannot be counted toward meeting the parking space requirements of more than one user. Again this alternative parking must be enforced with a recorded agreement. The applicant states that all of these options have been explored. Option 1 will not work because there is no space available on site. The other three options will not work because they require cooperation of the adjacent property owner of the shopping center. The adjacent property is not willing to enter into a signed agreement for the shared parking. The adjacent property owner is not opposed to overflow parking into his shopping center. Recommendation: Staffs recommendation is for denial. All of the restaurants along University Drive came in one at a time and were required to meet their own parking Aug 16 06 09:20a Mark Dennard (979) 268-7827 p.1 .8" , - �� of 466 3c 44, tet RESTAURANTS FAX TRANSMITTAL COVER PAGE TOTAL PAG - S (including cover): DA'L'E: 5 �� =VIE: 9.
