Developer seeks reduced parking via special-use permit for 13,000 sq ft Tiger/Whiskey Stop development; council tables request for more details
Summary
A developer proposes a 13,000 sq ft multi-tenant building at the Whiskey/Tiger Stop parcel and asked for a special-use permit or similar approach to reduce the city's 1-per-100-sq-ft parking requirement (applicant suggested 85 spaces). Council asked for a clearer conceptual site plan and tabled the item.
Staff described a developer's proposal for a 13,000-square-foot multi-tenant commercial building at the Whiskey/Tiger Stop site and said the city's code requires one parking space per 100 sq ft (130 spaces). The developer asked for a special-use permit (SUP) or plan-development alternative to allow fewer spaces; staff said the applicant proposed 85 spaces and that Jackson at WSB recommended considering a special site plan or plan development approach.
Council debated shared and staggered-peak parking and whether an SUP is the correct legal device for altering parking requirements. Multiple members asked the applicant to provide a clearer conceptual plan (site layout, ingress/egress and an applicant-proposed parking count). The council voted to table the request pending additional materials from the applicant and consultant.
