DATE:
Planning and Zoning Commission
Sabine ~Cully, Senior Planner
October 9, 1997
RE:
Establishment of parking requirements for O.L expansion
As is the case for some other specific land uses, the Zoning Ordinance does not specify
off-street parking requirements for industrial uses. Therefore, the Planning and Zoning
Commission has the authority to set a requirement.
The applicant has offered information, contained in the attached letter, in support of the
proposed number of spaces. He is requesting a determination from the Commission that
the parking is adequate for this use.
The site plan (will be available at the meeting) reflects 125 existing off-street parking
spaces for the site. The business currently employs 87 people full-time people and has had
a peek employment of 145 employees. The total number of future employees will be 112
with 30 additional parking spaces to be added.
Due to the changing nature of industrial users over time, it is difficult for staff to make a
recommendation for parking that would be adequate for a site in perpetuity. If the
Commission approves the parking number for the proposed uses (for the time being they
appear adequate), Staff would recommend that any future significant changes in use or
employees will trigger reevaluation of the parking required.
