Mr. Shad Phipps (Equity) and Ms. Patty Cole (Neyer), requested a 20 percent reduction in parking spaces in accordance with Section 1258.04 of the Village Zoning Code. Currently, the Village Crossings development complies with the parking requirements for the area. The Planning Commission has the authority to reduce the number of spaces required by a development by up to 20 percent. This reduction is being requested in anticipation of developing an outlot that would reduce the number of spaces allocated to the existing businesses. The outlot development would include parking and would comply with the parking requirements.
A motion was made by Susan van Amerongen and seconded by Dick Shaffer to approve the reduction in parking spaces with the following caveats:
1. The applicant submit a to-scale drawing of all parking spaces on the development.
2. The position of the stalls behind the buildings not interfere with loading areas or traffic circulation.
