Yard Evsthi R uirml Pront Ila AVE Side MM 2' S' Side south 158' S' Itearg-35M IF S' Because demolition of the garage stmcMe will most likely require paving improvements to the northerly parking lot area, staff mviewd the site Is determine if it would be practical no bring same or au puking lot setbacks into compliance. Sony also reviewed the "conceptual"plain that include other futre improvements W the site related the landscaping, sidewalks, and drainage be determine if any of the wncontbrning pattern lot setbacks can/could be reduced and/or eliminated. Staff fords the fallowing: • A 15' find[ yard parking lot setback at the nothedy parking area could be achieved, while still maintaining the minimum number of required off-street parking stalls (185). Staff prepared a rough plan depicting this, which is attached to this report. It is not practical to matt a 30' setback as too much parking would be eliminated. • It is am practical to meet the 5' northerly side yard parking lot setback. Doing this would eliminate an entire row ofparking, which would bring the site below the minimum number of required off-street parking stalls. • A Press yard parking lot setback could be maintained if an investment was made to improve the parking ares, ant sidewalks between the buildings and I -35W. Staff would recommeM that if this area of the parking lot is improved with nub ant sidewalks are recoastmctd, as shown on the future cmmcepand Plans, the parking lot be reconstructed to meet a 5' setback w the lot line adjacent to 1-35W. Cancluaiorr The purpose of the Nonconforming Use Permit process is to allow improvements on properties with muncomormities when one or more of the following conditions of Zoning Code Section 8- 460 are and (staff responses below in italics): A. The ttal number of nonconformists is rduced. With regard to the Immml r of of( street laking stalls, total on-site parking will be increaccal as a icer increase of 17 stalls would be added to the site with the garage demolition This increase Blows the property to meet the minimum number of required ff msetparking stalls (185 as wtedabove), andwill even exceedthis amount by 4 stalls (189stalls will beprovided in rota!). hshouldbe nmtedthat while the rmnconfor airy relmedto the total number ofrequiredaff- snearparking stalls will be eliminated rhe .mnco iry related to coveredparking will hwousee with this Project.

With regard to setbacks, the reparations ofineetinga 15'from yardserback would reduce the level ofnomonfarmiry on site while still maintaining an adequate number of on-site parking stalls. Meeting this setback at this time would also seem to make fausecial sense
