1. Typical parking spaces shall be 9’ x 18’ and the ADA parking space shall be either 8’
x 18’ with an 8’ access aisle or 11’ x 18’ with a 5’ access aisle.
James Hazen, owner of HRT Contracting, is requesting a specific use permit in behalf of
St Giles Living Center, Inc for a general business office and training space to be
constructed and used in a RM-H (Residential Multiple Family Dwelling – Highest
Density) zoning district. The subject property is located at 7650 Park North Drive.
The proposed office space will contain seven offices, a conference room, a small training
room (for about 12 people) and bathroom/break room facilities. The overall size of the
proposed building is 33’ x 77 ½’, or 2402 square feet of office space. This specific use

by the company. The existing driveway will be removed to accommodate more parking
and the new building. The proposed building will be located at the northern corner of the
