COMMENTS:
1. Gary Lopez of the Zoning Department offered the following comments:
a. The property is in the I - Industrial Zoning District. The proposed
day shelter use is permitted in this District and would be processed
as a Planning and Zoning Board (Type II) review and public hearing,
per the City's Land Use Code (LUC).
The building is proposed to be 13,000 square feet in size. Section
4.23(8)(3)(b)15 of the LUC limits the building size of a day shelter
to 10,000 square feet. This is not a modifiable section of the LUC.
b. Section 3.2.2(K)(2) of the LUC sets forth maximum parking
requirements for non-residential uses. The allowable parking for the
intended use will be based on the square footage of the building, and
probably no more than 3 spaces per 1,000 square feet of building will
be allowed.
