DISCUSSION
The petitioner is seeking to convert a carport that holds four automobiles into 800 square feet of interior office space.
Project Description:
Zoning and Land Use
17601 Southwest Highway is located in an MFG Manufacturing District. It is an industrial use.
Project Context
The conversion from carport to interior office space takes place on the north and west elevations of the central office building on site. The expansion into the carport coincides with site demolition work according to the proposed site plans. With regard to the noted demolition of a wooden shed on the site plan, which currently abuts the subject building and shares a wall with the subject carport area on the west wall, the site plan change will undergo site plan review through the Plan Commission in order to determine approval for the new programming of the vacated space. The site plan change will not be considered or addressed as part of this Appearance Review. Nevertheless, the abutting wooden shed will be demolished and work on the carport conversion will proceed subject to this approval.
Parking
Currently the site has 32 marked parking spaces scattered throughout the site. With the conversion of the parking stalls inside the carport, the total onsite marked parking spaces will be 28. The Land Development Code requires that industrial offices have 1 parking stall per 300 square feet and 1 parking stall per 1000 square feet of warehouse space. According to Code the facility thus requires 25 marked parking spaces. The petitioner exceeds parking requirements by 3 parking stalls after the conversion.
