The parking CUP relates to a project which would remove the existing school building and replace it with a new, attached structure. The project would not significantly affect the capacity of the school or the church, but would result in a series of site plan changes, including access, circulation, and parking. The Church is also seeking approval of a simple subdivision to create a single family home lot from the main church and school property. The new parcel would gain access from Savage Lane, but would remain under the church's ownership and the current "P ", Public zoning. Analysis Joint/Off -Site Parking CUP The church conducted a review of parking needs during a recent church service, counting actual parking on and around the property. This count resulted in a total of 155 parked vehicles between the church's property (75 cars), the City lot east of McMenemy (51 cars) and the Church's shared lot north of Little Canada Road (29 cars). In addition, about 25 cars were parked on- street. The applicants calculate a City- required parking minimum of 220 stalls, based on both church and school requirements - 200 stalls for the church and 20 stalls for the school. The applicants are requesting that the City approve a joint parking arrangement since the Page 52
