The proposed Site Plan consists of constructing a 3,365 SF addition to the existing dental clinic and associated landscaping improvements. 7. The original Site Plan approved per Resolution 13-012 was designed to accommodate a future expansion, thus not necessitating the need to build additional parking. 8. The Planning Commission reviewed the Site Plan in accordance with Zoning Code Chapter 5, Sections 6-390, 8-010, and Chapter 11. 9. The Planning Commission also considered a parking "special circumstance" per Zoning Code Section 11-040(4) to allow construction of 48 parking stalls when 49 would normally be required when enforcing a one stall per 200 SF office space ratio. 10. The applicant provided evidence in support of this special circumstance within the written narrative attached to the Planning Report dated 8/14/2013. The Planning Commission determined the information was adequate in support of allowing 48 parking stalls vs. 49. 11. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed use, building setbacks, parking setbacks, required # of parking stalls, floor area ratios, building height, performance standards, landscaping, lighting, signs, and interdepartmental concerns and found the proposed development to fully comply with all Site Plan requirements of the Zoning Code, subject to four conditions.
