Brown facility at 501 Graham Road.
Senior .Planner McCully explained that the Zoning Ordinance does not specify off-street parking
requirements for certain industrial uses. The Commission .has the authority to set a requirement for the
laboratory portion of the addition to the site only. The .applicant is requesting that a parking
requirement.., of 2 spaces be required for the laboratory, in which 4 technicians will be working. As
previously adopted as a guideline, the Commission discussed setting a requirement of one space for
every laboratory .employee which would result in a requirement of 4 spaces for the laboratory addition
rather than the requested 2 spaces.. She explained that she was not certain if the 4 technicians will be
working alternating shifts and she tried. to contact the applicant .prior to the meeting but no one was
available to get. the information to her. If only two technicians work together on a shift .then the
requested 2 space addition to cover the laboratory portion will be in line with the Commission's newly
adopted guidelines. Staff recommended that any future changes in use or employees working in the
laboratory will require reevaluation of the parking requirements,
Commissioner Mooney felt that it was not fair to follow the guidelines in this case since the guidelines
were just adopted.
Commissioner Mooney moved to table the item until K.W. Brown supplies the necessary... information
stating how many employees will be working each shift. Commissioner Maloney seconded the motion
which did not pass (2-5), Commissioners Mooney and Garner voted in favor of the motion.
Commissioner Parker moved to approve the request with 4 spaces as suggested in the. newly adopted
guidelines.: Commissioner .Rife seconded the motion which passed (5-2), Commissioners Mooney and
Garner voted against the motion.
