Parking
8. The property contains a total of 45 spaces. The plan notes indicate 46 spaces, but this value
is incorrect. The original umbrella approval included limitations such that no combination
of uses may exceed the need for more than 48 spaces. The Administrative Officer finds
that the current mix of uses requires 25 spaces and therefore the reduction in spaces to 45
is allowable. This approval changes the allowable maximum parking demand to 45. The
current unit mix is tabulated below for the purpose of assuring the parking demand is
lower than allowable.

Traffic
9. The proposed changes do not increase traffic generation. Traffic generation is limited by
the last umbrella approval. The maximum amount of traffic which the existing uses can
generate is 12.88 vte's during the P.M. peak hour.
Bicycle Parking
9. The property currently has one (1) bike rack which can accommodate two (2) bicycles. Section
13.14 (B) (1) (b) of the LDRs allows an existing bicycle rack to remain and count towards the
minimum requirement if it is in compliance with this section. The existing bike rack meets these
requirements if a bicycle can be positioned at each end of the rack, where it can be supported
upright and attached at the frame and wheel. Therefore, it can remain to count as no more than
two (2) spaces, which meets 100% the minimum requirement of two (2) bicycle parking spaces.
The existing rack must be secured to the ground and must meet the appropriate clearances.
