Required Use Ratio Parking Stalls Retail (5,248 X .9) 4,723 square feet 1/200 24 Office (12,000 X .9) 10,800 square feet 1/200 54 Warehouse (including proposed addition) (143,892 X .9) 129,503 square feet 1 /1000 TOTAL SPACES REQUIRED 129 207 In the past, the City has allowed Slumberland to vary from its calculated parking requirement (188 stalls) and provide only that number of stalls which would accommodate the facility's perceived parking demand (136 stalls). This arrangement was considered acceptable provided adequate land area was reserved for parking should the need arise. In addressing the facility's increased parking demand caused by the addition of retail activities, two alternatives appear valid: 1. If Slumberland representatives feel the site's existing parking supply of 136 spaces can sufficiently accommodate the additional retail activities, an expansion of their parking allotment will not be required at this time. Conditional to the City's acceptance of this parking deficit, however, shall be the applicant's demonstration of the site's ability to provide 207 stalls as required by Ordinance. If the existing 136 stalls are found to be inadequate in terms of meeting off- street parking demands, the City shall reserve the right to require the expansion of the lot to meet facility demand. 2. The existing Slumberland parking lot is expanded to provide 19 additional parking spaces or 155 total spaces. Because the proposed retail use has a significantly greater parking requirement than that of warehousing uses, the site's total parking requirement has risen a total of 19 spaces (from 188 to 207). In this light, an expansion in parking supply would seem appropriate as it would correlate to the site's increased parking demand. As stated in the aforementioned alternative, adequate land should be reserved to accommodate the Ordinance requirement of 207 spaces. 3 Page 39
