September 7, 2012 Page 6 Also, in addition to the 26 existing public parking spaces that are located immediately adjacent to the Property, the City is in discussions with FDOT regarding the potential construction of additional public parking under the eastbound lanes of the Sunny -Isles Boulevard bridge. Approximately 40 spaces could be built in this location. Furtherm re, the City is currently constructing a 314-space public parking garage that is located apps ximately 1,200 feet to the east of the Property. Therefore, in the near future there will be approximately 400 public parking spaces within a 5-minute walk of the Property. This large inv- tory of nearby public parking spaces will serve as overflow parking for special events at t - Property and will ensure that overflow parking does not detrimentally impact neighboring pro'•erties. We respectfully request the favorable review of t : Proposed Project and request the City Commission's approval of the site plan, variance . d off-site parking arrangement for the Proposed Project. The Proposed Project will pro 'de a needed community center, place of worship and pre-school for the Orthodox Jewish •mmunity and provide a public benefit in the form of the public baywalk and improvements to e public park. Orthodox Jewish law prohibits parishioners from driving on the Sabbath and his directly impacts the rate at which required parking is needed for the Proposed Project. urther, the Property's narrow dimensions make it highly impracticable to provide all of the required parking on-site and the peak usage of the Proposed Project will be off-peak and infr uent from a normal business, thus making the use of off-site parking more tenable.
