Home My WebLink About1646-PUE DATE: December 16,2002 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Consider a request for an amended specific use permit to allow the expansion of a parking lot for a dental office in an RM-H (Residential Multiple Family Dwelling - Highest Density) District. FILE: 1646-P NOTE: This case was tabled at the November meeting. The Planning Managerrecommends approval ofthis request subjeetto an 8'tall screening fence along the south and east sides of the property, the planting of shrubs along the edge of the five parking spaces on the north side of the parking lot and installation of the drainage improvements recommended by Mark Whiteley & Associates. City Council approved a specific use permit to allow a 10 space parking lot for a dental office in July, 2001. However, when the lot was built, another 5 spaces were constructed for a total of 15 spaces. The subject property is located at 3395 North Street. Staff contacted the applicant that an amended specific use permit would be required. The original specific use permit was approved subject to an 8' tall wood screening fence being constructed along the south and east sides of the property. At the November 18, 2002 Joint Hearing, this item was tabled because of concern over whether the new parking lot was causing flooding on the neighboring property to the east. The grade of the property has been determined and it is being recommended by Mark Whiteley & Associates that a number of drainage improvements be done, including the installation of a surface inlet at 18"' and North, the installation of an underground pipe, and the straightening and grading of the ditch. Exhibits are attached. PUBIAC NOTIFICATION Notices mailed to property owners 14 Responses in Favor .
