AGENDAITEM NO.6: eonsiderationofan .amendment to Zoning Ordinance #1638,
Section 9.3, pertaining to parking requirements for medical/dental clinics. (92-811)
Senior PlannerKee informed the Commission that staff has reviewed a request from Page
Southerland Page (PSP),architects for Scott and White Clinic,. to review the City's parking
requirementl) for medical clinics and. to consider an ordinance amendment. With this
request, PSP .. submitted. information from . several. sources; other cities and the Institute of
Transportation Engineer (ITE). ITEsuggests, from surveys of actual parking situations, that
requirements should vary depending on the size of the clinic with less ,parking per square
foot required as the clinic gets larger. Staff has reviewed the literature and agrees and
proposes the attached amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. The breakdown staff proposes
is slightly more restrictive on the mid-size and larger clinics than PSP is suggesting and
slightly less restrictive... on the smaller operations.. This is based on our experience with the
existing clinic which is 45,000 square feet. <With an approved variance, the existing clinic
supplies parking ata ratio. of one space per 196 square feet. . Senior Planner Kee stated that
Phase one will include 401,000. square feet of additional space. Current parking regulations
would.require an additional 293 parking spaces (one. space per 150 square feet) which is not
realistic.. Tbere have. been some parking. problems at the clinic as is evidenced by continued
parking along Glenhaven.Drive;.. the problems have not been severe.
Chairperson Hawthorne opened the public hearing.
David Knoop, Administrator ofthe..Scott and White Clinic, approached the Commission and
stated that the building was originally designed for thirty providers; however, over the past
few years, this number has increased resulting ina congested. parking lot. The clinic
encourages staff to park along Glenhaven Drive to allow patients to park in the existing
parking lot. The new clinic parking. ratios will be greater than those of the existing clinic;
the. new clinic. is. designed for one doctor per 1500 square Jeetas opposed to one doctor per
2200 ...square.. feet.
