File m-2911 April 16. 2004 Pige3 of 8 Parking Plan The applicant has submitted a revised parking plan which incorporates 10’ green yards along Shoreline Drive (in front of the gravel parking lot) and Kelly Avenue. The revised parking la> out of the upper gravel lot contains 32 stalls. From staffs perspective the plan is functional and is configured to yield the most spaces. In consideration of the parking analysis which is discussed later in this report, staff would recommend that the 10’ green space proposed along Shoreline Drive in front of the gravel parking lot be extended ftirther west. This would result in green space in between the two site accesses off Shoreline Drive of approximately 140’ in length and 10’ in width in addition to tlie 110 ’ foot long green space shown on the revised parking layout. Implementation of both these green spaces would yield approximately 3,000 square feet (4% of the entire site) of ncn- hardcover areas which are currently hardcover. The total number of parking stalls provided on this plan is 104 (97 if the 7 parallel parking spaces are converted to green space). This parking plan is drawn to scale and all spaces and drive aisles conform to City standards. All spaces are 90 degree, 9’ x 20’ f.paces with the exception of six, 45 degree spaces. The parking analysis section of this report will focus on parking demand and how many stalls should be required. The Planning Commission should discuss the new proposed parking layout and determine the amount of green space that should be required. The applicant should also be questioned on his willingness to create the 10 ’ green yard along Shoreline Drive west of the existing gravel lot (where the 7 parallel parking stalls currently are proposed). Parking Analysis Staff, along with the applicant, reviewed the site to determine the current and proposed uses and the amount of parking those uses demand, ‘i i.j City then determined how many spaces would be required in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance and also the emount of spaces required in accordance with two separate published parking studies. The reason the City reviewed these parking studies was to determine how the City’s requirements compare to what may be considered adequate parking and because the parking studies gave more detailed parking ratios. Tlie following is list of the uses and their square footages, and the amount of parking required: USES Retail: Champion Auto - 6,912 s.f. Post Office - 200 s.f. Liquor Store - 1,368 s.f.
