Muramatsu CUP <br />4. PARKING EVALUATION: <br />There are a variety of uses occurring within the units of the property. Staff evaluated the parking <br />for the approximately 6,500 square foot building being used half as manufacturing and half as <br />warehouse. Based on our ordinance, one parking space per 1,500 square feet of floor area is <br />required for warehousing and one parking space per 500 square feet of floor area is required for <br />manufacturing. For the 6,500 square foot building, approximately nine spots are required. With <br />the addition of a retail component encompassing 400 square feet of the applicant's unit, two <br />additional parking spaces would be required. <br />The west and east side of the building currently have space for approximately 36 parking spots. <br />There is also some on street parking available on Francesca Avenue for any overflow parking. It <br />is in staff's opinion that the parking is adequate for the general use of the building and that <br />adding a small retail component to the building will not adversely affect the parking needs on <br />site. <br />4. LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING: <br />The City's discretion in approving or denying a conditional use permit is limited to whether or <br />not the proposed application meets the standards outlined in the Zoning Ordinance.
