The approval is subject to the Clinic continuing to allow bike path parking in a portion of the parking lot, thereby creating a "shared parking" opportunity. Unfortunately, the City will not be able to share the expense of landscaping your parking lot expansion as you requested in your letter, nor can we administratively vary the 5 foot landscape requirement along the north lot line. Any request to modify the requirements of the code must be made to the Zoning Board of Appeals. If the Board determines that a hardship exists, other than an economic hardship, then they may grant some relief. I am enclosing an information sheet that explains the variance proceedure. Since your alternative parking request has been approved, it will now be necessary to process a specific application for the approval of the parking lot expansion itself. Since the parking lot involves additional hard surface material and since it will be necessary to extend the public sidewalk and possibly make other public improvements to the street, your application must be processed as a Utility Review project. (I should advise you that I discussed your request briefly with the Engineering Department, and they may require you to extend the street so that it runs along the entire lenght of your parking lot). Your submittal documents will be routed to the various departments and agencies that are charged with administration of adopted codes, and staff will review the plans for compliance with the applicable standards. This type of review can take several months to complete. Construction of the parking lot expansion may not commence until approval of your plan is obtained. I am also enclosing information regarding the submittal requirements for the Utility Review. Your submittal should be delivered to the Current Planning office at 281 N. College, to the attention of Sheri Wamhoff. (Sheri is a Development Review Engineer in the Engineering Department, but please submit your materials to the Current Planning Department). Your submittal and review will then be coordinated by Sheri and I. - Please feel free to contact me at 221-6760 or Sheri at 221-6605 if you have any questions regarding this matter.
