It should be noted, however that Section 78-1516 bases the <br />amount of required parking for retail sales and service establishments on net floor <br />area and not gross square footages (which is the square footage noted above). If <br />each retail establishment's net floor area alone were measured, the amount of <br />parking would be reduced, probably by approximately 20% based on other <br />published formulas for flguring retail parking. This is because areas of private <br />accessory offices, bathrooms, storage rooms, mechanical areas, etc. are not figured <br />into square footage for required parking. 20% of 208.5 stalls is 41.7 stalls, reducing <br />the total to iqjproximately 167 stalb, as compared to 159 stalls available per the <br />Benshoof count <br />It should be noted that the existing buildings adjacent to the municipal parking lot <br />appear to be occupied to the maximum extent possible (without constructing <br />additions). This is important because as retail sales and service establishments come <br />and go within the existing buildings, total amount of parking they demand will <br />remain stagnant. The only future use changes within the existing buildings that <br />would increase the required amount of parking, would be conversion of space from <br />retail/offlce to a restaurant and/or bar use, which has a higher parking requirement <br />per the 2U>ning Ordinance. Such a conversion requires approval of a conditional use <br />permit and review by the Planning Commission and City Council, triggering a <br />parking review prior to each such conversion.
