Zoning Pile #1478 November 14, 1989 Page 2 of 4 Section 10.61, Subdivieion 10 - Parking requirements for professional offices. One space per 200 s.f. of floor area. No specific standard established in code for clinic. Beview of Applicatl<m * The applicant seeks approval of a conditional use permit to install a small animal veterinary clinic within the subject structure. No additions to existing structure are proposed. Applicant proposes use of existing parking area providing 6 stalls, 4 to rear and 2 within front yard area (refer to Exhibit G). Staff has reviewed the files noting that the structure has housed a ba:t shop, realty office and currently a professional office builuing over the past 8 to 9 years. It would appear that all the improvements for these uses have been Installed without the benefit of commercial site plan review. All uses were permitted uses under the B-5 code requiring no more than a zoning certificate of occupancy for each new use. The engineer and staff have reviewed the site and found the front 2 parking stalls meet the required area and maneuverability standard (note: no backing out onto Shoreline Drive as previous owners have allowed). The 4 rear parking stalls do not meet the required length for backing out maneuvers. Although the City Engineer's report has not been received as of this writing, it is staff's recommendation to expand the black-topped parking area to the east providing the 33ij'-25' of required length. It will be necessary to expand the parking lot along the east and south side of the rear parking lot. The parking stalls should all be designated with stripes. "No Parking" signs must be posted along entrance to rear parking lot. Per Section 10.61, Subdivision 10, the proposed veterinary use is most closely aligned with professional offices. The Planning Commission is welcome to review Section 10.61, Subdivision 10 to determine if there is another use more similar in determining required parking sta'ls. Please note that there are only 2 exam rooms for the current proposed level of use. Based on the ratio of 1 stall per 200 s.f. of floor area, the parking requirements are as follows: 1,764 s.f. of total floor area - 265 s.f. (reduction of 15% for storage area, etc.) 1,499 s.f. net floor area 1,499/200 ■ 7.49 or 7 spaces
