BACKGROUND:
• Petitioner/Property Owner: George N. Snelling LLC
• Agent: Davis L. Dinkins, P.E., Davis Dinkins Engineering
The subject property was developed as a shopping center in 1985. The shopping center currently has 796 parking spaces. The applicant is proposing to create an outparcel within the shopping center eliminating 154 existing spaces from the shopping center site.
Kittelson & Associates prepared a parking study utilizing the ITE Parking Generation Handbook. The existing shopping center parking demand per the study is 555 parking spaces. Therefore, reducing the required parking total to 555 spaces provides a difference of 241 spaces. If the property is further developed as proposed, the parking study supports that there will be sufficient parking remaining for future development.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
• The provided parking study indicates that the ITE Parking General Manual the peak parking demand requires 555 parking spaces for the existing uses.
• Reducing the required parking total to 555 spaces provides a difference of 241 spaces. If the property is further developed as proposed, the parking study supports that there will be sufficient parking remaining for future development.
• The creation of an outparcel reduces the parking spaces from 796 to 642. This is 158 spaces less than what is required by City Code, but 87 spaces more than what is recommended per the ITE Parking Generation study.
• There is a private parking agreement in place to regulate parking, ingress, and egress.
Staff recommends approval.
