SUP Review: Big Blue Box <br />Planning Commission Report; 8-20-19 <br /> <br /> <br />Page 6 <br />Parking & <br />Traffic: <br /> Because this is a fairly unique use, code is not entirely clear as to what specific <br />standard should be used to determine minimum parking standards. As the City’s <br />other Big Blue Box site was calculated based on available office space (and staff is <br />unaware of any parking issues on that site), we are using the same calculation <br />approach for this proposal. <br /> 5576 square feet of office space * 90% = 5,018 / 200 sq ft per parking space = 25 <br />spaces minimum <br /> The site has room for significantly more than 25 parking spaces, so staff is not <br />concerned that the use will be under-parked. That said, we are currently working <br />with the applicant on the layout/location of permanent parking spaces to ensure <br />adequate emergency vehicle access is available at all times. <br /> <br />Sidewalks & <br />Trails: <br /> There are no sidewalks in this area nor are any planned. Given the high-level of <br />industrial uses in this portion of town, we are not recommending promotion of <br />pedestrian or bicycle use unless located on off-road trails. <br /> <br />Development <br />Phasing: <br /> The change over in uses will occur in a single phase if this special use permit is <br />approved. <br /> <br />Nonconforming <br />Use Permit: <br /> A nonconforming use permit was previously issued to this site in 2012 addressing <br />existing legal nonconforming parking lot setbacks. A second nonconforming use <br />permit was not required at this time as no changes are proposed to either the <br />buildings or parking setbacks, and no new nonconformities have been identified <br />since the previous approval. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
