Required # of Required Parking Stalls (90% of total SF) Proposed Warehouse 1 stall/ 1000 SF 15 stalls 14,766/ 1000 Manufacturing 1 stall/350 SF 34 stalls 11,812/350 Office 1 stall/200 SF 49 stalls 9,882 /200 Total 98 stalls 98 stalls Of the 98 parking stalls proposed, 66 stalls are new stalls to be constructed on the east side of the building, 16 stalls are proof-of-parking stalls, and 16 stalls are existing stalls to be preserved. With that, the applicant is providing adequate parking on site to meet the requirements of Zoning Code Section 11-030. To clarify, the 16 proof-of-parking stalls are intended to not be constructed unless it is determined they are needed. Zoning Code Section 11-040 (1) & (2) allows proof-of-parking but states that a legal instrument (such as a condition of approval) is imposed concerning if/when the proof-of-parking gets constructed. Staff has included a condition of approval to this effect. The applicant has indicated that the parking proposed to be built is more than adequate to meet their needs. Lastly, one might note that the numbers used to calculate parking vary slightly from the square footages of existing and proposed building noted in the introductory paragraph. This is because calculating parking is done by using 90% of the total building square footage. Additionally, there is a small discrepancy by not including the square footage of the exterior walls. Lighting The applicant is proposing a maximum of 5, 20' tall light poles around the perimeter of the new parking area. Additionally, a wall mounted light is proposed on the east/rear facade of the building. Per Zoning Code Section 11-010(6) no additional lighting is required but if implemented, must be directed downward and installed so as to prevent direct light form being detectable at the lot line. Building Height Zoning Code Section 6-060(6) states that no building shall exceed 40' in height. The proposed plans illustrate a 26' — 28' two-story building, well within the maximum allowed for industrial buildings. Floor Area Ratio Zoning Code Section 6-060(5) states that the floor area ratio shall be a maximum of 0.4 for a one-story building and 0.6 for a two story building. The existing building is primarily one story, with the addition being two stories, and a small mezzanine in the existing building. The building is roughly 70% one story and nearly 30%two story (using footprint SF only). Based on the usable building square footage of 41,068 SF / total lot area of 94,987 SF = 0.43 F.A.R.
