Based on the preceding off - street parking standard and occupancy requirements of the Uniform Building Code, an off - street parking supply of 50 spaces is considered appropriate (1 space per 3 seats /persons) for the former fire hall community gathering space. Of the 50 required spaces, two should be devoted to use by the handicapped. Off -Site Parking. Should the site in question lack ample land area to accommodate the recommended off - street parking supply, the Zoning Ordinance makes provision for off -site parking via a conditional use permit. In this regard, question has been raised as to the ability to utilize the adjacent "credit union" property to satisfy the off -site needs of the community gathering space. According to Section 903.050.J of the Zoning Ordinance, compliance with the following conditions would be necessary to accommodate such off -site parking arrangement: 1. Satisfaction of CUP evaluation criteria outlined in Section 921 of the Zoning Ordinance. 2. Off -site parking comply with current city design standards. 3. Reasonable public access from the off - street parking facilities to the use being served is provided. 4. The site used for off -site parking is under the same ownership as the principal use being served or under public ownership. 5. The off - street parking facility is located not more than 300 feet from the main entrance of the principal use being served. In review of the aforementioned off -site parking requirements, it is anticipated that all such standards could be satisfactorily met. CITY HALL Parking Demand. As noted previously, we have been asked to calculate off - street parking demand for the City Hall making provision for a 2,000 square foot addition. It is understood that such addition would be used for administrative type activities. The existing City Hall measures 7,000 square feet in area and generates an off - street parking demand of 60 spaces, as calculated below: Page 4
