Recommendation and Review
Consider a request from Tim Reamer of Cottonwood Commercial to modify Section 10-3-25 (17), which specifies that retail stores, sales rooms and similar mercantile establishments that are 10,000 square feet or less in gross floor area are to provide one parking space for each 200 square feet of gross floor area and if over 10,000 square feet in gross floor area are to provide one parking space for each 250 square feet of gross floor area. The modification of Section 10-3-25 (17) and the addition of a new subsection within Section 10-3-25 would require retail sales of furniture and/or appliances to provide two parking spaces, plus one parking space for each 1,000 square feet of gross floor area.
Planning Commission recommended approval (7-0) of the Zoning Ordinance amendment to Section 10-3-25 to require retail sales of furniture and/or appliances to provide two parking spaces, plus one parking space for each 1,000 square feet of gross floor area.
