k V Parking Development Title Table 9-1015.3(a) states that for the use type Agricultural Processing - Food Manufacturing, 2.5 parking spaces shall be provided for each 1,000 square feet of building. The applicant has proposed to expand the current operation of building square footage by 36,000 square feet. This will require that 90 additional parking spaces be provided for the project, including four accessible spaces, one of which shall be van accessible. However, Development Title Section 9-1015.9 permits the modification of these requirements by the Director in cases, which due to the unusual nature of the establishment proposed or the development proposal submitted for it, the requirements may be considered insufficient, or excessive. The applicant submitted a letter dated, February 20, 2008, requesting a reduction in the number of parking spaces to 20 and the phasing of the parking requirements because the proposed project will operate 40 days per year (October 20 through December 15) and will have only six employees per shift. The Community Development Department has reviewed the request and has determined that due to the seasonal operation of this business a reduction in the number of parking spaces to 20 is sufficient for the proposed use. The site plan shows 11 proposed parking spaces. Nine additional spaces need to be provided for the project, one of which shall be van accessible. The parking area shall be surfaced and permanently maintained with asphalt concrete or Portland cement concrete to provide a durable dust free surface.
