We  request  modification  of  the  standard  to  not  require  the  single  accessible  space. Requiring  the  handicap  space  would  reduce  the  already  small  number  of  onsite  parking stalls  provided.  The  parking  spaces  serve  the  residential  uses  only.  There  are  no accessible  units  in  the  project;  so  needing  to  provide  an  accessible  space  is counterintuitive  since  there  would  be  no  demand  for  it  from  a  resident. Other  uses  in  the  building  are  exempt  from  minimum  parking  requirements  and  are served  by  on  street  parking.  Currently  there  is  a  single  ADA  stall  at  the  front  of  the building  that  can  support  the  commercial/retail  area  of  the  project. We  believe  this  modification  would  not  be  detrimental  to  the  public  good,  and  that  it affects  the  standard  in  a  nominal,  inconsequential  way.  The  parking  provided  is  entirely private  and  this  modification  would  not  hinder  the  public  from  accessing  the  project. 301-­‐400 8 401-­‐500 9 501-­‐1,000 2%  of  total  spaces Over  1,000 20  spaces  plus  1  space  for  every  100  spaces,  or  fraction  thereof, over  1,000 contained  in  Article  4,  either  for:  (1)  overall  development  plans  and/or  project development  plans  which  are  pending  approval  at  the  time  that  the  request  for proposed  modification  is  filed. 2.8.2  -­‐  Modification  Review  Procedures (H)  Step  8  (Standards):  Applicable,  and  the  decision  maker  may  grant  a  modification  of standards  only  if  it  finds  that  the  granting  of  the  modification  would  not  be  detrimental to  the  public  good,  and  that: (4)  the  plan  as  submitted  will  not  diverge  from  the  standards  of  the  Land  Use  Code  that are  authorized  by  this  Division  to  be  modified  except  in  a  nominal,  inconsequential  way when  considered  from  the  perspective  of  the  entire  development  plan,  and  will continue  to  advance  the  purposes  of  the  Land  Use  Code  as  contained  in  Section  1.2.2. MODIFICATION  REQUEST: According  to  3.2.2(K)(5)(d):  Each  parking  lot  shall  contain  at  least  the  minimum  specified number  of  handicap  spaces  as  provided  in  the  table  below.  Regardless  of  the  number  of handicap  spaces  required,  at  least  one  (1)  such  space  shall  be  designated  as  a  van-­‐ accessible  space,  and  must  be  a  minimum  of  eight  (8)  feet  wide  and  adjoin  a  minimum eight-­‐foot-­‐wide  access  aisle.
