We have reviewed the site and drainage plan for conformance to applicable City Codes. The following is our review: 1. L=i= The 1983 Zoning Map shows this area zoned P - Public. The actual use, which pre -dates this Code, is PF - Public Facilities and Quasi - Public Uses. The proposed future laud use plan presently being prepared shows this property should continue to be Public - Quasi Public. It appears that the proposed expansion is consistent with future land use planning of the City. 2. 1juilding jjgisrht: The highest part of the roof is at 30 feet or less as viewed from the north or west sides, but the bell tower rises to approximately 50 feet when viewed from these directions. On the southeast side, the lower floor is exposed, increasing these heights by about 13 feet. Maxhnum allowed height is 35 feet. 3. parking, The P zone does not have formula for determining number of parking spaces required. However, the amount of parting provided appears adequate. The new spaces are proposed to be 9' x 18' . The Code requires 10' x 20' unless the parking lot provides for separate vehicles based on size. The reduced stall depth combined with narrower 20' wide aisles may make parking difficult for full size cars or pick-ups. Landscaping islands have been provided which exceeds 10% of the area of the new parking.
