November 15, 2005 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BACKGROUND This item was imitated by staff to update Section 8 Off Street Parking and Loading. After updating the C -3 and C -4 Distncts, staff noticed three minor changes were needed to insure consistency between the new C -3 and C -4 standards and Section 8 of the Zoning Ordinance related to the three areas listed below. Parking and Storing of Trucks. The C -2, Downtown Commercial, C -3, Highway Commercial, and C -4, General Commercial Distracts all contain an accessory use allowing Outdoor Sales and Display of Merchandise with a condition related to the parking and storing of trucks All three sections are identical. In an effort to eliminate redundancy within the Zoning Ordinance, staff recommends striking it from the C -3 and C -4 Districts and relocated this standard to Section 8.1 D Limitations on Use. In this location, the standard will apply to the enure City lather than lust the C -2, C -3, and C -4 Distracts Staff plans to update the C -2 Distract in the near future and will delete the standard m that section of the ordinance at that tune. Parking Requirements. Section 8 1.H contains off street parking requirements for Business Uses. The standards for car washes, drive through restaurants, banks, and gasoline stations also include requirements for stacking spaces. As a result of modernizing the C -3 and C -4 Districts, staff created specific conditional use standards for each of these uses which include requirements for stacking spaces. To eliminate redundancy and potential conflicts with the revised C -3 and C -4 Districts, staff is stnking out the stacking references for car washes, drive through restaurants, banks, and gasoline stations contained in Secuon 8.1 D General Standards for Car Washes, Drive Through Restaurants, Banks and Gasoline Stations. Section 8 1 1 contains general standards for Drive Though hiciltties related to circulation and stacking spaces. Staff modified the terminology m this section to match the amended C -3 and C -4 Districts as well as added a reference to the conditional use permit standards for these uses m the C -3 and C -4 Districts.
