Section 18-4.12.11 of the Zoning Ordinance which allows for stand alone parking where authorized by the applicable zoning
district regulations.
DISCUSSION:
Section 31.2.4.1 of The Zoning Ordinance requires that special use permits be assessed as follows:
31.2.4.1: Special Use Permits provided for in this ordinance may be issued upon a finding by the Board of
Supervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property,
The adjacent properties are part of the master plan approved with SP1994-16. The 1994 special use permit master plan
shows additional offices located on adjacent parcels,with all buildings utilizing shared parking. It is understood that future
development of adjacent parcels will utilize and expand existing parking.
that the character of the district will not be changed thereby
The area has a wide mixture of uses, including several similar commercial uses in close proximity to the parcel.
and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance,
The property currently carries a special use permit allowing for the use utilizing existing parking spaces.
with uses permitted by-right in the district,
The special use permit application does not propose activity other than that which is allowed by the already approved
special use permit.
and with the public health, safety and general welfare.
Staff does not believe the public health, safety and general welfare will be compromised by the proposed special use permit.

Staff finds that the proposed special use permit meets the requirements of County Ordinances. Staff recommends approval.
