Specifically, the <br />applicants are seeking an amendment to allow the construction of a 102 stall parking lot <br />on the north side of the site. <br />According to the applicants, the Woodridge campus has seen a rise in facility use due <br />the first warehouse employee shift and increased campus meetings. Thus, an increase <br />to the facility's off-street parking supply is needed. <br />No building construction is planned in association with the expanded parking supply. <br />The addftional 102 off-street parking stalls will result in what is now more than 500 <br />parking stalls being provided on the property. <br />Analysis <br />Parking Lot Design. As shown on the submitted site plan, the parking lot will be located <br />north of the site's "loop road" and tie into an existing parking area directly north of the <br />medical facility building. <br />The parking lot is considered well conceived from a design standpoint. All parking stalls <br />and drive aisles have been found to meet the minimum setback and dimensional <br />requirements of the ordinance. <br />8 <br />
