SUP Review: Zahl Petrolicum Planning Commission Report; 9-17-19 Page 10 (cont.)  Overall, the site plan currently proposes 14 parking spaces for trailers of different sizes, 9 miscellaneous equipment parking spaces, and 5 spaces for small vehicles in addition to the 12 employee parking spaces.  The site has ample room for employee parking, so staff is not concerned that the use will be under-parked now or in the future. If need be, spaces currently reserved for equipment, trailers, or small vehicles shall be designated as employee parking if work shifts or the employment ratio on-site dictates that more employee parking is necessary.  Employees and equipment shall not be parked on-street in adjacent areas, and the site shall remain self-sufficient with parking throughout the life of the SUP and site plan authorization.  Regarding traffic, the applicant describes the use as follows: The 12 to 14 employees will start there in the am. They will be there about one hour. They will then leave and come back at days end (anytime from 4 to 5 PM), then go home for the day. On any given day there will be one employee on site during the day. During the months of January through March, we could have up to 4 employees there during the day. Given the above, staff is not concerned about traffic generated by this use. Sidewalks & Trails:  There are no sidewalks in this area nor are any planned. Given the high-level of industrial uses in this portion of town, we are not recommending promotion of pedestrian or bicycle use unless located on off-road trails. Development Phasing:  Development of the site will occur in roughly two phases if the special use permit and site plan are approved: − Phase I will include construction of the proposed building and use of the yard in its current dirt/gravel condition. The applicant shall be responsible for street sweeping all dirt, mud, and/or debris tracked into the public right-of- way from the site. − Phase II will include paving and curbing of the lot at some point before the end of 2022. Future paving, curbing, drainage plans, and drainage calculations shall be submitted for review and approval prior to the work being completed.
