SPRAB Meeting Comments — Parking There was a discrepancy between the parking requirement as identified by the Board Engineer’s report and what was indicated by the Applicant. Whereas the Board Engineer cited a need for 43-spaces, the Applicant indicated that only 25-spaces were required. This discrepancy was as a result of the Applicant originally proposing the use of one of the Ist floor rental spaces as event space, for which a greater number of parking spaces was required. The applicant subsequently modified their plans to show the space being proposed as office space, which reduced the parking requirement to the 25-spaces. Response: The discrepancy has been resolved. The required number of parking spaces is 24.4 or 25 spaces. The provided parking is 23 — 9x18’ standard parking plus 1-HC spaces and loading zone and 1-EV space, which equals two standard parking spaces for meeting the requirement of 25 proposed parking spaces. See parking calculation table on sheet 2 of 4 of the Site Plan Set.
