#OS-3121 June 15,2005 • Page 9 of 14 Without detailed floor plans of all existing bttsinesses, City staff can not calculate witll any accuracy how much parking is teclmically required by City Code for all the businesses having rights to the lot. Six additional parking spaces located within the Narrows property are currently siriped and in use. These are not inchided in the 122 noted above within the municipal lot. Other business properties abutting the municipal lot also 11ave varying numbers of available stalls within their property boundaries that were not included in the 122. It should also be noted that the parking stalls constructed and striped are 9' x 16' with 22' drive aisles where nonnally 9' x 20' spaces with 24' wide drive aisles would Ue required. Although of no fault of the applicants, this contributes to the overall fiuictionality and maneuverability of the parking lot. The Plaiuung Comniission should discuss the parking needs required by the applicant in determining whether any expansion, interior or exterior, should be pernZitted. The Planning Commission may also want to look more closely at the hours of operation for the various businesses using the lot, as the 2000 review concluded that the prime hours for the applicant would be the least prime hours for the majority of the other businesses in this area. No act�ial traffic/parking counts or studies have been done to deterniine whether this has proven to be the case. Parking Issues Surrunarv Parking required for proposed use: I�iterior Use 52 stalls Front Sidewalk Use 7 stalls Rear `Patio' Use 21 stalls 80 stalls Parking available oil-site for proposed use: 6 stalls Parking shortfall on-site, to be made up in muiucipal lot: 74 stalls Municipal lot stalls available for other users during peak times: 122-74=48 stalls Percentage of inunicipal lot required by Narrows: 74/122 = 61% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IV. EASEMENTS AFFECTING PROPERTY There are several easements affecting how the applicants can use their property. An ingress and egress easetneut (Doc. #3520911) exists to provide access from Shoreline Drive to the City-owned parking lot. This exists along the easteni 7.5' of the property, and while not encroached upon by any of the proposed improvenients, its fitnctionality may Ue impacted by the kitchen addition as proposed.
