3 <br /> <br />need additional parking, they need to have proof and documentation. The matter would then be <br />discussed with the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Proposed Amendment <br /> <br />Staff proposes an amendment to Section 1007.054 that would relate specifically to parking <br />requirements for outdoor dining areas that exceeds over 500 square feet in size. The current <br />ordinance requires 10 spaces for each 1,000 sf of dining area. Staff suggests using 500 sf as a <br />base because it is half of the 1,000 sf standard. Outdoor dining is seasonal and the rationale for <br />allowing less parking is because customers that would normally be sitting inside are now sitting <br />outside. <br /> <br />The amendment includes the following: <br /> <br />1. For accessory outdoor dining/seating areas that are 500 square feet or less in size, no <br />additional off-street parking spaces shall be required. <br /> <br />2. For accessory outdoor dining/seating areas that are greater than 500 square feet in size, <br />one (1) additional parking space for every 100 square feet of outdoor dining area in <br />excess of 500 square feet shall be required. <br /> <br />For Example: <br /> <br />• A 400 sf outdoor dining area = 0 additional parking spaces required <br /> <br />• A 600 sf outdoor dining area = 600 sf - 500 sf allowed = 100 sf <br /> <br />100 sf/100 = 1 additional parking space required <br /> <br />This would allow for outdoor dining areas, side walk cafés and seasonal patio seating 500 square <br />feet or less while still addressing parking demand for more destination oriented outdoor seating. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval of the zoning ordinance text amendment to Section 1007.054. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />1.
