and 5,000 sq. ft. to child care facility, licensed non-residential for 45 students, 50

generation.

EMPA 111
The building is currently permitted entirely as general office. Based on 20,000
square feet of general office, 70 parking spaces are required. Traffic generation
at the PM peak is estimated at 29.8 vehicle trip ends.
The proposed use of 15,000 SF of social service and 5,000 SF of child-care (with
an enrollment capacity of 45 students and 14 staff members) use would require
79 parking spaces. 61 parking spaces are provided on site. This represents a 18
space or 23.1 % shortfall. The applicant has stated that they find the parking will
be more than adequate on site. They have stated than 90% of their educational
and child care clients use public and other means of transportation. The Board
discussed request for a parking waiver along with the availability of additional
land for additional parking should it be required, and decided that the parking is
adequate.
The applicant is proposing to add a 3,800 SF fenced -in play area near the
southeast corner of the property. The Board has no concerns with this. The
applicant has stated that there are no other changes to the site plan as a result in
the proposed change of use.
