Access. The site has two curb cuts off of Rice Street. The Zoning Ordinance, Section 903.050 D.8.f, states that no access shall exceed 24 feet in width. The curb cut to the north is being revised and should meet this requirement or a larger access should be requested and approved by the City Engineer. This access will likely serve as the main access for the supermarket and a secondary access for the Bally's Total Fitness to the east, thus consideration should be given to making this a three way access. The northern most access includes a 35 foot wide easement for ingress and egress purposes running east west across the site. The southern access is utilized by Arbys and has a driveway easement over it. The proposed project will utilize this access and is proposing a 30 foot easement extend east, the length of the site, connecting to the Bally's fitness parking lot. Circulation / Loading. Staff has some concerns with the proposed circulation pattern. A turnaround needs to be provided for the handicapped parking stalls at the northwest corner of the site. The 12 parking stalls directly in front of the proposed supermarket should be eliminated as they will only hinder the circulation of the site. The parking lot will need to be redesigned, as the parking stalls are deficient in design and parking delineators will need to be added. The site has provided a loading berth at the rear of the site. Truck circulation for loading and unloading appears to be adequate. Parking. The parking requirements for the proposed use are as follows: The Zoning Ordinance requires parking stalls to be 8 '% feet in width and 20 feet in length. The proposed parking stalls are two feet short of the required length. As currently designed, there is no room for bumper overhang to make up for the deficiency. The parking lot should be redesigned to meet the requirements. As previously noted, the 12 parking stalls directly south of the building should be eliminated for ease of circulation. The Zoning Ordinance, Section 903.020 G.10. requires off- street parking areas of fifty (50) or more stalls, provide irrigated, landscaped islands at a rate of one island per fifteen (15) spaces. An island is to be considered 100 square feet of landscaped surface, contained in raised curbed beds consistent with parking lot construction requirement. The site plan provides for the needed 800 square feet of landscaped parking delineators. 2 Required 74 parking stalls Proposed 133 parking stalls Parking Requirements 1 space /200 sf 16,400 sf — (10 %) = 14,760 sf The Zoning Ordinance requires parking stalls to be 8 '% feet in width and 20 feet in length.
