Alternative Compliance Request
The owner requests a modification of the standard per Section 2.8.2(H)(1)-The plan as submitted
will promote the general purpose of the standard for which the modification is requested
equally well or better than would a plan which complies with the standard for which a
modification is requested.
The standard per Section 3.2.2(K) states that a medical office building is permitted to have a
maximum of 4.5 spaces per 1,000 s.f. which is a maxium of 39 parking spaces with the building’s
size (8,626 s.f.). The existing parking lot currently provides 36 spaces.
The proposed parking lot will provide an additional 36 spaces for a total of 72 spaces. The
owner is requesting this modification for the following reasons:
1. Specialty medical services have been added to the existing urgent care services, which
has resulted in increased services/patient volume.
2. The Windsor location closed resulting in this facility being the only one in Northern
Colorado to serve Concentra patients. This has had the following impacts:
a. Due to patient volume, staff is currently parking off site and walking in.
b. Due to patient volume, many patients are parking in the unpaved area south of the
existing parking lot.
This facility has 33 employees, sees an average of 150 patients a day and operates from 7am to
7pm and on weekends. The current parking lot does not adequatley accomodate the patient
volume it sees every day. With the approval of the proposed parking lot (additional 36 spaces),
the facility will be able to adequately accommodate the parking needs of both patients and
staff.
