Staff explained the Planning Commission reviewed this request on February 18, 2014 and recommends approval of the request as shifting the parking lot slightly to the north and subject three conditions: • Compliance with the items noted in the Interoffice Engineering Memo dated February 13, 2014. • The applicant shall remove any dead landscaping and replace with new in conjunction with the parking lot expansion and rebuild. All exposed areas and bare soil shall be graded to ensure positive drainage and seeded or sodded to prevent erosion. • The applicant shall explore shifting the proposed parking lot centrally between the buildings to achieve as closely as possible, a 15 -foot separation between the buildings and the parking lot.
