Alternative Compliance Request
Eckerd Drug PDP

Land Use Code Section 3.2.2 Access, Circulation and Parking
Purpose. This section is intended to ensure that the parking and circulation aspects of
all developments are well designed with regard to safety, efficiency and convenience
for vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians and transit, both within the development and to and
from surrounding areas. Sidewalks or bikeway extensions off -site may be required
based on needs created by the proposed development.
We are seeking approval of an alternative compliance request to the maximum
parking requirements set forth in section 3.2.2(K)(2)(a).
The following is a list of alternative compliance criteria found in sections 3.2.2(K)(3)(b)
and how the project meets or exceeds those requirements.
The current parking allowances for the three uses on site are as follow:
General Retail (13,824 sf) 55 parking spaces
Moot House (5600 sf) 56 parking spaces
General Retail (2200 sf) 8 parking spaces
Total of parking 119 spaces
The parking for the Moot House has been in place for a number of years. It has been
found to be necessary to adequately serve the patrons and is an existing condition.
The proposed new Eckerd's Drugstore will provide only the number of spaces
permitted under the Land Use Code. Because of the similarity of use hours, both
facilities will peak in use in the evenings and require their own parking spaces.
Therefore it is important to maintain the historic pattern while adding the new land use
and incorporating the new parking ratios for the new use. So, while the total parking
ratio of the PDP is in excess of the currently permitted ratio, in fact, the new use is in
compliance and the historic use is retaining its parking based on its historic needs. The
proposed parking plan will not cause the Moot House to be further out of compliance
with the current Land use Code.
We appreciate your review of this request. If you have any questions or comments
please let me know.
Sincerely,
Scott Sinn
