and permitted for 8,400 square feet. The applicant must provide verification of permit for the 6,224 square foot addition or include the addition in this Site Approval application and submit a revised project description. Parking and Surfacing The applicant is proposing a total of sixteen (16) parking spaces, including one van accessible space, for the agricultural processing facility. Parking requirements are determined by the use type, size of structures, number of employees, and number of seats. Pursuant to Development Title Table 9-1015.3(b), the Agricultural Processing - Preparation Services use type requires one (1) space for every 1,000 square feet of building. As a result, a total of ninety-four (94) parking spaces would be required, including four (4) accessible spaces. However, Development Title Section 9-1015.9 states that requirements of the chapter may be modified by the Director in cases in which, due to the unusual nature of the establishment proposed or the development proposal submitted for it, the requirements set forth in the Development Title may be considered insufficient or excessive. The applicant submitted a letter dated February 6, 2014 requesting a modification in the number of parking spaces required for the agricultural processing facility from ninety-four (94) spaces to sixteen (16) spaces because of the limited operation of the facility and small number of employees. The Community Development Department has reviewed the request and has determined that a reduction in the number of parking spaces to sixteen (16) parking spaces is sufficient for the proposed agricultural processing facility because the majority of the buildings will be used for warehousing and the applicant anticipates thirteen (13) employees. As a Condition of Approval, the applicant shall provide sixteen (16) parking spaces for the agricultural processing facility in Phase One. The parcel is accessed by a private road (Hutchinson Road) from Austin Road, a public road.

In order to provide dust mitigation and prevent debris in the county right-of-way, the first hundred feet of the driveway from Austin Road will have to be paved pursuant to Development Title Section 9-1015.5[e]. The surfacing material for the parking area and access driveway must be shown on the Improvement Plan, Truck Loading Pursuant to Development Title Section 9-1015.6(b), two (2) loading spaces are required for uses having between 20,000 and 40,000 square feet, and one (1) additional loading space is required for every 20,000 square feet over 40,000 square feet. The project consists of 93,808 square feet. As a result, four (4) loading spaces are required. Pursuant to Development Title Section 9-1015.6(c), loading spaces shall be a minimum twenty-five (25) feet in length and fifteen (15) feet in width, and shall have a minimum height clearance of fourteen (14) feet. The loading spaces must be shown on the Improvement Plan.
