From: Francis MacCall, Senior Planner
Division: Zoning
Date: March 1, 2013
Subject: SP 2013 -02 Price Hyundai Outdoor Storage & Display — initial zoning comments
Please consider the following comments:
1. Per the numbers of display spaces provided on the plan the use of the auto dealership requires
a total of 47 spaces. The office use and the over the counter sales use are not used in
calculation the auto dealership use thus should be removed
The required parking for the auto dealership should be reflected as follows:
Automobile service station: One (1) space per each employee plus two (2) spaces per each
service stall.
EMPLOYEES: 10 1 X 10 = 10
40 SPACES REQ
SERVICE STALLS: 15 2 X 15 = 30
Motor vehicle sales, including automobiles, farm equipment and trucks: One (1) space
per one thousand five hundred (1,500) square feet of display area. Spaces for customers shall
be clearly delineated on the ground, signed and maintained for customers only.
SHOWROOM/ GLASS DISPLAY AREA: 6,130sf 6130/1500 = 4 SPACES
ADDITIONAL DISPLAY AREA: 4,536sf (4,536sf) 4536/1500 = 3 SPACES
7 SPACES REQ
REQUIRED PARKING: 47 SPACES
DISPLAY PARKING: 28 SPACES
75 SPACES PROVIDED
2. Please clarify where the area of display for the SHOWROOM/ GLASS DISPLAY AREA:
6,130sf is located. The note of "DISPLAY PARKING" between the building and the 6' sidewalk
does not add up to 6130sf but only 4144sf. Where is the additional area of outdoor display?
Adjust the calculation above as needed.
3. The amount of total parking provided that is shown for "CUSTOMER PARKING" and
"EMPLOYEE PARKING" exceeds the amount permitted for the proposed auto dealership. The
requirement for the use is 47 parking spaces and there are 72 spaces shown as non - display
parking. You would be permitted to have 20% more that the required parking which would be 9
spaces for a total of 56 spaces designated for this use. Adjust the numbers above as needed.
4. If this plan is going to be used as the concept plan for the proposed use then the area that is
subject to the SP should be clearly identified by outlining the area with thicker line or a "bubble"
line so that it is clear what conditions apply to this use. The other uses and parking should not
be construed to be approved with this plan.
5. The parking calculations on the left of the plan should only reflect the proposed use for this
concept plan. The reference on the plan to the "BANK & RESTAURANT PARKING" spaces
can remain but should be noted to the left that they are not part of the calculation and are not
intended to be used by the auto dealership.
