Access and Parking
Two driveways will provide access to the site. One of the driveways is located on W Main Street; the other driveway is located on NW 23rd Street. The number of required parking spaces is calculated based on the proposed use. Retail use requires one parking space per 275 square feet. The proposed development requires 25 parking spaces; the applicant is providing 23. However, the Development Review Committee can reduce the number of spaces required, provided the reduction does not exceed 15% of the total number of parking spaces normally required (UDC 10.13.1). The Development Review Committee has reduced the number of required spaces to 23.
Building Elevations
The UDC requires that every wall be 100% masonry construction. The building will be constructed primarily of brick and accented by stone. The proposed development meets the masonry requirement.
