The current site design has al- <br />lowed for the provision of only 195 parking <br />spaces; nearly 100 spaces short of the zoning <br />requirements. The ramifications of this are, <br />of course, rather significant. Should the <br />development be approved, the developer would <br />need to obtain a zoning variance in order to <br />construct the facility. If the developer is <br />required to abide by the zoning ordinance, <br />modifications will have to be made either in <br />the size of the grocery store facility or the <br />layout of parking. An alternate design plan <br />could accommodate an additional 40 to 50 park- <br />ing areas, but it would still not be a suf- <br />ficient number and a variance would still be <br />required. If a variance is not granted, the <br />size of the building would have to be reduced. <br />This may affect its marketability as a grocery <br />facility and require a re-evaluation of the use <br />to which this phase II structure will be devoted. <br /> <br />It should be noted that the Urban Land Insti- <br />tute, a national planning and land use associa- <br />tion, recommends the allocation of one parking <br />space for every 182 square feet. However, each <br />community is free to prescribe its own parking <br />regulations, and New Brighton's, at one space <br />per 85 square feet, is not out of pace with <br />other Metro Area communities. <br /> <br />The Windsor Center development, as currently pro- <br />posed, would result in a substantial increase in <br />property tax revenues to the various units of <br /> <br />VI-6 <br />
