The parking ratios listed above are to be a guideline only, and are not to be considered the final parking required. The Commission may either increase or decrease the ultimate parking that is to be required on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, it is in the best interest of each applicant to supply information to support the desired parking numbers at the time the case comes before the Commission. o:~roupkleve_ser~pnzplSg.doc COLLEGE STF~TION P. O. Box 9960 1101 Texas Avenue College Station, TX 77842 Tel: 409 764 3500 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Sabine M°Cully, Senior Planner DATE: Apri130, 1998 RE: Establish parking requirements for CS Business Center Stag is bringing this item before the Commission so that we may better assist developers in the early stages of site design. Currently, there is no parking requirement established for four of the uses that are expected to be located in the City's Business Center. Each use must therefore come before the Commission for asite-specific parking requirement before all the site constraints are known. Establishment of a general parking requirement for these uses in the Center will help to streamline the development process for these sites, Staff is recommending that these four uses be assigned the following parking requirement: 1. Conference auditorium - 1 spaces per 4 seats 2. Wholesale display - 1 space per 250 square feet 3. Manufacturing or assembly - 1 space per 500 square feet 4. Research and development - 1 space per 2 employees (one shift) These ratios are taken directly from the Business Center Covenants and Restrictions. The requirements would exceed the average parking demand that was generated in a study conducted by ITE for similar uses. o:~goupldeve_ser~stf}pt~pkbuspk.doc Home of Texas A&M University SUMMARY OF PARKING GENERATION RATES Light Industry (~ 100,000 SF) ITE Land Use Code 110 Land Use/Building Type 1000 SFGFA Independent Variable-Occupied Parking Spaces Per Peak Parking Rates Number Average Size Standard of of Range Deviation Studies Independent Variable Average (Min. to Max.)

Clark Date: 12/2/2004 11:32:47 AM Subject: Re: College Station Business Center, dumpster Good Morning! Section 7.2. Off-Street Parking Standards in the (UDO) Unified Development Ordinance states: Shopping Centers located in a C-2 Zoning District requires 1-350 for parking. Separating out warehouse space is not an option. In March of 1986 the subject property was rezoned from C-1 General Commercial to C-2 Commercial Industrial with the developed uses of office, retail and warehouse. This is considered a shopping center. If this were developed as 100% warehouse then the parking requirement would be 1-1000. John -The issue is not that Dollar General is located in this shopping center. It is the dumpster addition that was installed without review or permit. The dumpster is indeed taking up required parking spaces. In all actuality with the installation of the dumpster the shopping center with todays parking requirement is at least 40 parking spaces in the hole. However, since we were trying to work with you on this, I gave you the option to replace the parking spaces that will be taken up by the dumpster installation and the end-islands. If you still feel that adding additional parking spaces is not feasible, then you are certainly welcome to request a parking variance to the Zoning Board of Adjustments. Please feel free to call if you have any questions. Thank you, Jennifer Jennifer Reeves Staff Planner City of College Station jreeves@cstx.gov (979) 764-3570 (979) 764-3496 FAX »> "John R. Clark" <john@johnclark.com> 12/2/2004 10:40:50 AM »>Jennifer I really appreciate you working with us on this. We carefully considered the parking impact when we leased to Dollar General. We thought about all alternatives for those "4 suites" and felt that Dollar General with no more than 3 employees would be less impact than any other alternative that may have come along. This has been proven correct. For over ten years, we have worked hard to not lease to tenants in the rear that have any parking demand. We litterally turn down leases often. Josh did a study of required spaces per square foot based on the current UDO. Due to the high amount of warehouse space in the center, we still meet the requirements, even with loss of 4 spaces for new dumpster. Please review the situation and let me know, so we can get the new dumpster enclosure designed and built. -- - -- - - _ Jennifer Reeves Re: College Station Business Center, dumpster Page 2 Thanks, John PS. We recently cleaned up the signage facing Harvey Mitchell and are currently repainting the rear buildings. It is an older property, now but the owner is keeping it updated. This new dumpster for Dollar General will help in that regard. John R. Clark & Associates 3828 S.

General Development Standards Section 7.2. Off-Street Parking Standards H. Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces Required In computing the number of parking spaces required, the following rules shall govern: 1. Parking requirements based on square footage shall be based upon the gross floor area, unless otherwise stated. Service areas such as mechanical rooms, restrooms, and closets shall be included in the calculation of "gross floor area" for determining required parking spaces. 2. Where fractional spaces result in computing required parking spaces, the required number of spaces must be increased to the nearest whole number. 3. The parking space requirements for a use not specifically listed shall be the same as those for the most similar to the proposed use, as determined by the Administrator. 4. Whenever a building or use constructed or established after the effective date of this UDO is changed or enlarged in floor area, number of employees, number of dwelling units, seating capacity, or otherwise, parking requirements shall be met on the basis of the enlargement or change. Whenever a building or use existing prior to the effective date of this UDO is enlarged, the enlarged building or increased use shall then and thereafter comply with the parking requirements set forth herein. 5. In the case of mixed uses, the parking spaces required shall equal the sum of the requirements of the various uses computed separately. This includes the parking requirements for uses such as private schools, day care centers, soup kitchens, and computer centers located on property used for religious worship. Per Ordinance No. 2753 dated September 23, 2004 6. Where requirements are established on the basis of the number of seats, such requirements shall be based on the seating capacity as determined by the Building Official. 7. Where amanufacturing/industrial use has more than one working shift of employees, parking shall be provided to accommodate overlap requirements during transition periods. 8. When the developer of alarge-scale development can demonstrate that such development will require fewer parking spaces than required by the standards of this Section, the Administrator may permit a reduction in the number of required parking spaces for the development. Such a reduction in parking spaces shall be justified through the development of a parking study prepared by a professional engineer or transportation planner and submitted to the Administrator. The balance of the land necessary to meet these requirements shall be held in reserve as an undeveloped area, to meet any future needs generated by an expansion of the business, a change in land use, or underestimated parking demand. 9. The Design Review Board may waive parking space requirements in the Northgate and Wolf Pen Creek districts if the development meets the goals of the master plan for the respective district. 7-9 Unified Development Ordinance 9/23/04 City of College Station, Texas RE: Urgent problems, 2151 Harvey Mitchell, College Station John R.

It has come to our attention that a cyclone fence was erected at this location. The fence has been placed in a required, designated parking area. This shopping center has two existing dumpster locations to be shared by all tenants. It is my understanding that Wally Urrutia contacted you on October 28, 2004 in reference to the dumpster screening that was put up without a permit or an approved site plan. Please be aware that approval for a new dumpster location will require an amended site plan showing the proposed location and the type of screening that will be provided. This correspondence is to serve as a warning of potential penalties. Failure to comply upon receipt of this notification shall constitute a violation of this section of the Unified Development Ordinance. Penalties for violations of the Unified Development Ordinance may range up to $2,000 dollars a day per violation. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
