The property located at 708 Broadwater Avenue has been utilized as a medical facility since 2008. The building is approximately 14,000 square feet. Per Site Development Ordinance 6-1203(j), BMCC, the parking requirements for this size of building for medical use would be 70 parking stalls. The site has 44 parking stalls, and the owner was granted a site development variance in 2008 for parking.  With the variance, a conditional variance agreement was completed that stated the variance was only applicable to the current owner and use. The building has been sold, however, the new owner wants to have a similar medical use for the building and has applied for a variance from Section 6-1203(j), BMCC, for parking. Attached is a letter explaining their parking situation. It is similar to the previous use. There has not been complaints of over parking for this building.  Attached is a new conditional variance agreement for the new site development variance. Staff is recommending approval of this variance.

The Council may:

• Approve the variance which reduces the number of parking stalls required; or
• Disapprove the variance. If the variance is not approved, the applicant will have to find more parking stalls for their use.

The administrative cost of the variance is offset by the application fee.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve variance from the site development ordinance to reduce the number of parking stalls required for 708 Broadwater Avenue and authorize the Mayor to sign the Conditional Variance Agreement.
