� , FILE#13-3589 15 Jan 2013 Page 6 of 9 building to be located on the same lot as the principal use. JEM is proposing to construct 39 stalls and requests a conditional use permit for deferment of parking for the remainder of the required spaces. City code section 78-827(q)states that a reduction in the number of required parking stalls may be permitted by a conditional use permit as outlined in section 78-823 provided that the following conditions are met: 1. Evidence is provided demonstrating that the parking requirements of the proposed use will be less than the parking required under this section during the peak demand period. Factors to be considered when reviewing the proposed parking demand shall include, but not to be limited to: a. Size, type, and use of building. b. Number of emp/oyees. c. Projected volume and turnover of employees. d. Projected frequency and volume of delivery or service vehicles. e. Number of company vehicles. f. Storage of vehicles on the site. Applicant should be asked to provide back�round re�ardin�the appropriateness of the reduction in reauired stalls. 2. In no case shall the amount of parking provided be less than one-half of the amount of parking required by the ordinance. The applicant is proposin�to construct onlv 39 of the required 101 spaces. The CUP reauires at least 50 spaces be constructed. A variance will be needed to allow the proposed number of parkin�stalls. 3. The property owner can demonstrate that the site has sufficient property under the same ownership to accommodate the expansion of the parking facilities to meet the minimum requirements of this section if the parking demand exceeds on-site supply. The propertV owner also owns the adiacent property to the north,a portion of which is currently vacant,open space and available for future qarkin�development. 4. On-site parkinq shall only occur in areas designed and constructed for parking in accordance with this section. The area reserved as "proof-of-parking"shall be sodded or seeded and maintained as green space. No permanent buildings shall be permitted in the "proof-of-parking"area. � 5. The conditional use permit approving parking deferral under this section shall be recorded per city practice,providing that additiona/parking shall be constructed in accordance with this section. 6. To qualify for a parking deferment, the site must comply with all current zoning requirements. Due to the location of the existing building and the proximity to Old Crystal Bay Road North,the proposed parking area is set back 6 feet from the existing building where a 10 foot setback from the building is required;the 20 foot setback from Old Crystal Bay Road will be met. The variance requested may be reasonable due to the existing conditions;foundation plantings are still achievable within the 6 feet as noted on the Landscape Plan.
