d) Accessory use parking: The Code as drafted now does not require parking for accessory uses to the main use: Ms. Eichner recommended that iflit is part of a site plan, even if it is an accessory use, that the required parking needed for the entire site, should also include those accessory structures, and be included in the total required parking. For example, a restaurant inside a hotel, needs parking for the public. e) Parking requirements: the consensus was to require 1.5 parking spaces per unit. • Hotels — rates should not be tied to zoning districts. • Rate comparison chart was reviewed to achieve consensus: Movie Theater - four seats per one parking space: Vocational School — onl a square footage • basis of class room area versus administrative area, rather than the number of students: Hardware Store — recommending it goes down to like one to 300. Ms. Eichner said she will take all the parking requirements and put them in a chart form, rather then grouping them. Business and Professional Office - professional office is one to 250, four parking spaces per 11,000 square feet, the consensus was to leave it at one to 300: Medical and Dental Office — need a greater parking requirement than a regular office because of patients coming in and out, the Code as drafted states one to 300, she recommends one to 250, which was agreed to by the Commission. Ms. Eichner strongly recommends as a first premise to use the building square footage number and you come up with a rate that takes into account the serving area, the delivery area, the food prep area, etc., which is incorporated into the rate. The Code as drafted right now, is one space per 200 square feet, and she said that is not enough parking for a restaurant. Ms. Eichner recommends one space per 150 square feet, and the Commission agreed. f) Shopping Centers: Ms. Eichner recommends keeping the rates as they are and base it on gross floor area (one space per 250 square feet of gross floor area with less than 200,000 square feet and one space per 280 square feet of gross floor area for 200,000 or more square feet). g) Mixed Use Centers: Use generalized rates for types of uses within the site. h) Fractional Spaces: When doing division. we may end with a fraction. Ms. Eichner recommends that we round up, as opposed to right now if you are at .5, it states to round down. 1 i) Loading Spaces: Vice Mayor Iglesias said that in Section 8011.4.2(c) for each multiple dwelling residential or apartment hotel building, 50 is too small and he recommended that it should go from 25 to 100 for one space, and two spaces for 200. Ms. Eichner agreed. Summary Minutes:LDR•s Workshop.July 25.2002 Page 3
