LP - Duke or Randv Pack Phone: 817 - 691 -2887 e -mail dukep(aearthlink.net CITY STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PROJECT RECEIVED BY THE CITY ON 9/12/05 AND WE OFFER THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS. THESE STIPULATIONS ARE HEREBY MADE CONDITIONS OF SITE PLAN APPROVAL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AMENDED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR NEED FURTHER CLARIFICATION, PLEASE CONTACT BEN BRYNER AT (817) 748 -8602. Since this is an existing site and no improvements or site changes are proposed, this review has been limited to the "S -P -1" zoning document for proposed new uses and regulations only. The following changes arte needed with regard to parking: a. It is likely, without floor area limitations, that the proposed retail uses will be deficient in meeting the City's minimum standards for parking. In particular, limitation on floor area or occupancy must be placed Health Clubs /Gyms and Sporting Goods. It is staffs opinion that these two uses would be functionally deficient on parking if the whole building were occupied. b. Staff recommends that a reciprocal parking and cross - access agreement be executed and filed in the County records to allow joint use parking between the properties. This should insure adequate parking is available. As part of an S -P -1 zoning request, the applicant may request different parking standards than specified by the zoning ordinance. If proposed, it is the owner /applicants responsibility to insure that those ratios are sufficient for the end user. In the absence of a modified parking ration proposal, all parking regulations shall defer to the Zoning Ordinance No. 480, as amended.
