Developer seeks 13,000-sq-ft multi-tenant building; council asks for site plan and tables parking request
Summary
A developer seeking to build a 13,000-square-foot multi-use commercial building near Tiger/Whiskey Stop asked for reduced parking; council asked for a conceptual site plan, discussed a special-use permit vs. a plan-development approach, and temporarily tabled the item pending more detail.
A developer (referred to in the transcript as Sunny/Whiskey Stop/Tiger Stop) has proposed a 13,000-square-foot multi-tenant commercial building but cannot meet the city's parking standard of one space per 100 square feet. "It's a 13 he wants a 13,000 square foot building," Chair (Speaker 1) said while describing the proposal; staff and council discussed shared-staggered-peak parking and other alternatives to the strict parking ratio.
City staff and legal counsel questioned whether a special use permit (SUP) is the appropriate device to address parking and suggested a plan-development ordinance or a variance could be more suitable. Council asked the applicant for a clearer conceptual site plan showing proposed parking and ingress/egress and voted to table the item until the applicant provides the requested materials.
