JPMorgan Chase seeks four‑story parking garage as major modification to office PD; county staff supports plan

JPMorgan Chase Bank asked the hearing master on Sept. 15 for a major modification to an existing plan development to allow a four‑story parking facility of up to 1,800 spaces on a 4.9‑acre parcel adjacent to the corporate office campus. Applicant counsel Charles Davis said the garage will serve the adjacent office campus, traffic will be directed internally to the campus rather than through nearby neighborhoods, and a gated emergency access will remain to Bridal Road.

Sam Ball of Development Services said the requested modification would allow the parcel to be developed as a parking structure and include shared access to the adjoining office campus while removing two local vehicular access points and replacing them with pedestrian access. Staff noted a variation to the 300‑foot off‑site parking requirement was requested but did not object, and Planning Commission staff recommended the major modification consistent with the community plan, citing the economic‑development intent to preserve industrial and employment uses while limiting neighborhood impacts.

No members of the public registered in favor or opposition. The applicant said the proposed parking facility remains within the existing permitted 50‑foot height and that prior administrative adjustments (PRs) approved Sept. 9 clarified internal access arrangements. The hearing master closed the record; Planning Commission and Development Services recommended approval and the matter will be transmitted to the Board of County Commissioners for final action.
