1. 1 believe that I have incorrectly required the parking requirement for religious assembly uses
on this site. Instead of the religious assembly uses parking calculation of 1 space per 3 fixed
seats that has been used, the parking calculation for shopping centers should have been used
since this site is part of a ZMA that approved the use of the shopping center parking
calculation. The calculation of 5.5 spaces per every 1000sgft of gross floor area has been
used throughout most of the development approved with the 1998 and 2002 ZMAs. The
shopping center calculation would show the building of 19960/1000 = 19.96 X 5.5 = 110
spaces required and 206 provided. The 206 spaces provided would exceed the maximum
allowed for the site. The maximum permitted would be 132 spaces. (110 * .20 = 22 +110 =
132). In the interest of moving forward with this site plan, using the standard religious
assembly uses parking requirements for this plan will be permitted at this time. So, having the
188 spaces for the 563 seats noted on the plan is allowed. PLEASE SEE COMMENT #2 for
future parking calculation requirements.
2. Please note the following for any proposed development beyond any approval of
SDP2018-00003 in the future.
The architectural drawings used to verify that the structure would be at or near the 20,000sgft
limit set by the 2002 ZMA show the church to have 845 seats, 555 in the main area and 290 in
a mezzanine area. The site also currently has a Zoning Map Amendment (ZMA2018-00002)
proposal to change the square footage limit for buildings on this block per the 2002 ZMA. The
mezzanine area appears to be contemplated if the 20,000sgft building size limit is increased
per an approved amendment to the 2002 ZMA. If the increase in building size is permitted and
the church builds 845 seats, then any approved site plan would need to be amended. With
this amendment the 5.5 spaces per 1000 gross floor area must be used for calculating
parking. It is known per the plan for ZMA2018-00002 that the church building is proposed to
be 30,000sgft gross. Per the shopping center calculation of 5.5 spaces per 1000sgft of gross
floor area this would require 165 spaces. The plan also includes a 2-story office building of
25,000sgft total that would require 138 spaces, combined 165 + 138 = 303 parking spaces.
The current site plan shows that there would be only 206 spaces provided, short 97 spaces if
built as shown on SDP2018-00003. At the time of site plan amendment, the will be required to
show that an approved alternative has been provided. Shared parking with an adjacent
property appears to be the most viable option. Any shred parking option would eventually
need a recorded agreement between property owners.
