Page 6 6 except the SW building. That area will be green space until the building is built. All of the 118 parking spaces shall be completed. The phasing plan does not indicate the amount of property that will be conveyed to the applicant with the purchase agreement. Parking The Comprehensive Land Use Regulations state that a restaurant user shall have 1 parking space per 3 seats for restaurants and events centers, based on capacity. There shall be 1 parking space per 250 square feet of building for retail buildings. There shall be 1 parking space per 200 square feet of office. The table below is for the full build-out of the PUD. Square Feet per Use Required Proposed Restaurant 18,000 square feet (540) seats 180 Retail 25,000 square feet 100 Office 20,000 100 Total 380 245 The applicant is requesting flexibility to allow a reduction in the parking spaces because of the proposed shared parking for the development. This is consistent with the downtown design guidelines which encourages businesses to establish or participate in providing shared parking with reductions in required on-site parking. However, staff has been working with the applicant on the number of parking stalls that would be adequate for the development and it is in staff’s opinion that there is a shortage of parking for the full build out of the development. Since the project is proposed in phases, the parking space requirements shall be further evaluated with each phase of the development based on use. This may mean a reduction is square footage of buildings, change in use by demand, or additional parking constructed. The applicant will be required to record a shared parking and maintenance agreement benefiting all of the properties in the PUD. Streets and Access The overall PUD plan shows a full access across from 146th Street into the site. No other access is proposed at this time. An additional 8 feet of right-of-way shall be dedicated for Highway 61. MNDOT is reviewing the plans and will provide a comment letter for any required public improvements. All required improvements shall be coordinated with, permitted, and approved by MNDOT.
