Post Office Box 9960 1101 Texas Avenue College, Station, Texa,s 77842-0960 August' 18, 1988 (409) 764-3-570' MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: RE: Planning & Zoning CO,mmission JaneR. Kee, Senior Planner SUFFICIENT OWNERSHIP, INTEREST FOR PARKING PURPOSES (SECTION -9 .2 '.B.. ) . Section 9.2.B of the Zoning ordinance reads as follows: "For any new use , building a,r structure where th~ required off-street parking cannot be provided ,on the prernis~s because of the size or location of the lot or 'building pI'ot, such parking may be provided on other property under the same ownership whether in fee simple or a lesser ownership' inte'rest,not, more than two hundred (200) feet distant from the building site provided th~ proposedparkingar~aislocatedina district where parking lots 'are 'permitted for that use." The ordinance was amended to include "lesser ownership interest" in March, 1986. The staff has' never established a,specific policy that 'defines a lessor 'ownership interest . Recerit'ly the Zoning Board of Adjustment considered' the question as a matter of interpretation. The problem arose when someone proposed off-site parking on property where he.hada 3 year lease. The ZBAfeltthat a lease is not a suff,icient ownership interest' to meet the intent of the ordinance. The City Attorney then brought up some of the different kinds of ownership interests' that exist; ,easements, easements with time limits, partial ownership of mineral rights, etc. This made us realize that it might be 'better for the Commission, on a case by case' basis, .to determine when parking is being supplied in an appropriate manner. If this is done it will require an ordinance amendment. In considering each case, important items would be: (1) sorneanlountof guarantee that' parking will be, available for the life of the building/business (Aneasernent with a ,time limit rnig,ht be sufficient in the case of a temporary buisness but not in the case ofa large office building.) (2) the percent of required parking be,fng provided off-site. We would like input from the Cornrnissii;on relative to this issue. If necessary staff will br ing an amen'ament to the Commission at a later date. ' AGENDA CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS Planning <and Zoning Commission Annual Tour October 21, 1988 1:00 P.M. 1.
