(See Sec. 14, Ordinance 1638)
TheP.R.C. revieWed this project on December 28, 1992. The applicant
was asked to supply a floor plan to determine occupancy loads. To date,
none has been submitted; however, the ratio should be set before the
P&Z meeting. At this time, staff is assuming . that the business will
essentially grow from a potential occupancy of 30 students (set by the
P&Zwhentheoriginal Conditional Use Permit.. was granted) to a
combined occupancy of 130 students (100 in the additional lease space).
.At the time the first Conditional Use Permit was considered, there had
been a concern for parking. The center supplies .25 . parking spaces,
which is actually more than most other sites. in the Northgate zoning
district. The Zoning Ordinance gives the Plans Review Committee
discretion to.. require parking when possible; however, unlike other
commercial districts, there are no predetermined requirements for
parking. If the center were in a C--ldistrict, it would have to supply 32
parking spaces. ... A maximum of twenty five percent of the total leasable
space would then be allowed to be used for intense purposes.
