The auto - related businesses tend to have more arranged appointments and therefore do not create a high parking demand at one time. As a result, the property owner is requesting a Proof of Parking CUP. The CUP issued in 1999 required the site to have 46 parking spaces, all of which were established on the site. Based on the current uses, city staff calculates that the site would be required to have 42 parking spaces. The parking spaces that were established behind the building are what the property owner is requesting be changed to an outdoor storage area. By converting the parking to storage that still leaves 21 off - street parking spaces on the site. Staff believes this is adequate given the limited number of employees that each of the current businesses have. Staff recommends approval of the Proof of Parking CUP based on the finding that in the future should additional parking be needed at any time then one of the outdoor storage areas behind the building could be converted back to required off-street parking to comply. 1 have copied below the code requirements for your review.
