BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
The Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) considered PZC 20-1-031 on June 17, 2020. The PZC voted to approve the request, approved (8,1).
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is zoned I (Industrial District) and is located east of Route 59, south of the BNSF railway with a common address of 1899 High Grove Lane. The approximately 10.4-acre property is comprised of 4 parcels. The subject property is improved with an approximately 115,170 square foot building and an 88-space surface parking lot.
DISCUSSION:
The petitioner is requesting approval of a parking variance in order to remove 11 parking spaces, construct an 16,840-square foot addition and reconfigure the parking lot on the west side of the subject property facing Route 59. Currently, 88 off street parking spaces exist on site. In preparation of the addition and removal of 11 parking spaces, the petitioner has submitted engineering plans, which are currently under review by City staff, for construction of a parking lot with 28 new parking spaces on the east side of the building (total of 116 off-street parking spaces). However, because of the future building addition, parking spaces will be removed and the parking lot will be reconfigured resulting in a total of 105 off-street parking spaces.
The different building uses are identified in the chart below. A total of 253 parking spaces are required on the subject property per Section 6-9-3 (Schedule of Off-Street Parking Requirements) of the Municipal Code. There will be 105 parking spaces on the subject property, resulting in a deficit of 148 parking spaces.
