Parking: The standards for calculating the off - street parking requirements for Retail Store and Service Establishment are outlined in Section 3, Subdivision 5 of the City Code. For the purposes of calculating parking spaces, the ordinance requirement is to use 90% of the gross building area. Use Gross Area 90% of Gross Area Ratio Required Spaces Retail /Service 30,266 s.f. 27,240 s.f. One space per 200 s.f. 136 As shown in the table above, a total of 136 off - street parking stalls are required for the proposed use. Because this will be a multi- tenant building, a general parking ratio has been applied. The applicant's plan calls for 138 stalls including the gas island areas. Thirty -six (36) spaces are proposed to be constructed with a pervious Netlawn turf. The use of the Netlawn allows the applicant to satisfy parking requirements while reducing the site's impervious surface area and maximizing on -site infiltration of storm water run- off. Five handicap parking stalls are required, one of which must be van accessible. These have been provided.
