PIanning Commission <br />Case No. 461-96: Mounds View Square <br />November 6, 1996 <br />Page 2 <br />square feet to the main shopping center building, just soufh of IVlario's Video, and to <br />replace the two existing, freestanding restaurants wiih larger dinner house style restaurants <br />each having up to 6,000 square feet, The existing Hardee's con#ains 3,750 square feet; <br />the existing Bridgeman's Ice Cream Restaurant also contains 3,750 square feet. The net <br />increase in square footage on the site would be 9,500 square feet. Expansion of the <br />restaurants and the retail building would eliminate 23 parking spaces. The end resutt <br />would be a shopping center with 111,775 square feet and 454 parking spaces. The <br />parking on site w�len compared with the gross square footage in the shopping center, <br />provides a ratio of one space per 246 square feet or 4,06 parking spaces per 1000 square <br />feet of shopping center. <br />A�a�[ysis/ <br />I�e��gaanr�e�edation: <br />Our previous report calculated the parking requirements for Mounds View Square using <br />severat different methods and r�tios for retail square footage and restaurants. The curren� <br />proposal is to work from the existin� base of 477 parking spaces as the requirement for <br />the existing square foo�age in the shopping center. The square footage includes the <br />fotIowing: <br />Use ' <br />Retail: <br />Storage: <br />Dining: <br />Kitchen: <br />MalUMaintenance/Restrooms <br />Total <br />Existing <br />Square Footage <br />62,005 <br />16,645 <br />8,050 <br />6,060 <br />9,275 <br />102,03 S <br />EYisting + Expansion <br />Square Poota,�, <br />s�,00s �+�,oao> <br />I7,645 (+I,ppO) <br />I 1,290 (+3240 net) <br />7,320 {+1260 n�i) <br />9,275 <br />111,�35 <br />The expansion of the shopping center would remove 4,800 square feei in dining space and <br />2,i00 square feet in kitchen space, and add 4,0�0 squaee feet in retail, 1,04a square feeC in <br />storage, 8,040 square feet in dinirtg, and 3,960 square feet in ki#chen space. The totai <br />square footage in the cenier with the changes and additions would 111,535 square feet. <br />The addition of building square fooiag� woutd remove parking spaces so the total on th� <br />site would be reduced from 477 io 454. <br />The applicant is requesting a variaace in the parking raiio used for retail space, from IO <br />parking spaces per 1000 square feet ta 4.5 per I004 square feet, and in the ratios for <br />restaurants. The current ratio required for restaurants is 1 parking space per 40 square <br />feet of dining area, and i space per �0 square feet of kitchen area.
