Comments below are based on review of the code of development, proffers, and revised
application plan all dated December 12, 2013.
Waivers (Comment not addressed)- A number of waivers were approved with ZMA 2001-08
refer to the link below. Comment not addressed. Based on review of the code of development,
at a minimum the following sections are modified:
• Sections in 4.12 see under parking comments above
• Section 4.16, 4.16.2 and 4.16.3.3 (see link below and note on bottom of page 19 of the
prior code of development)

ms/Agenda/2007files/20070613/Rivan naVi I IageAttachJ. Pdf
The waivers must be listed by the applicant and should be in a table for ease of administering.
The waivers must be part of the Board's action on ZMA 2013-12. Some ordinance sections may
have changed (Section 32 waivers) so the table must reference the correct sections.
Code of Development
• Illustrative Plan -What is the illustrative plan? I believe this paragraph can be deleted or
clarify that what flexibility the applicant is referencing (specific unit and lot types may vary in
the blocks as allowed in the code?)
• Parking- Waivers/modifications need to be submitted and approved for Section 4.12.4,
4.12.6, 4.12.9 to allow what the applicant proposes. (see comment above) The waiver
condition language should also be incorporated into the code of development for non-
residential parking regulations.
4.12.6 MINIMUM NUMBER OF REQUIRED PARKING SPACES VOK
SCHEDULED USES
Section 4.12.6. provides the schedule of parking requirements for each use. The
applicant has requested that the individual uses in Block E not be subject to the
parking schedule; rather, that the minimum number of parking spares far non-
residential uses shall be based 4.75 spaces per 1,000 gross leasable square feet for
the total square footage within the Block E. Also, garage parking shall count towards
The minimum parking requirements.
Staff Comment: The Zoning Division generally approves of the first part of this
request, but has recommended a more restrictive waiver to ensure that sufficient
parking exists for each of the uses as they are begin. Staff recommends approval of
use of the shopping center parking standard; however, each site plan would have to
provide sufficient parking for the use until it reaches the threshold that allows for 4.75
spaces per 1,004 square feet. At that point, the entire block will be considered as a
shopping center use and individual uses wiIi not need to provide parking for each use.
Staff recommends approval as follows:
When the SDP's are reviewed the parking will be considered proportional to the size of
the development proposed together with what exists. In other wards, if during the
rezoning it is determined that the nonresidential blocks can be calculated at 4.75 spaces
per I000sfg1a, but the I" SDP comes in with only 10, 000sf9la, that site plan will be
required to show the parking at 5.5 spaces per 7000sfgla. Later when a Z"d SDP is
submitted and more square footage is added to the block, the parking generator will be
reduced to include both the existing and what is proposed on that SDP
