Proiect Access Two points of access will be provided to the site from Bernal Avenue: · A signalized driveway providing left-/right-turn access from/to Bernal Avenue will be located opposite Utah Street. · A right-turn only driveway to Bernal Avenue will be located midway between Utah Street and Nevada Court. Two points of access will be provided to the site from Stanley Boulevard: · Right-turn ingress/egress only to/from Stanley Boulevard will be located midway between Bernal Avenue and the easternmost property line. · Right-turn ingress/egress and left-turn only ingress from Stanley Boulevard into the site will be provided at the easternmost project driveway. The left-turn from Stanley Boulevard will require a median island opening. As requested by the Congregation Beth Emek and conditioned with this development, there shall be no public street or emergency vehicle access allowed to the site from Nevada Court. All access driveways and internal circulation areas are designed to City standards. The proposed development's on-site circulation plan including the locations of drive-through lanes will provide adequate stacking space for their use. Parkinq The overall parking ratio will be one parking space per 276 square feet of floor area for a total of 702 parking spaces, creating a surplus of 57 parking spaces. Only 70 parking spaces - 10% of proposed parking - will be compact-size parking spaces. Hence, the parking area of this development is designed for full-size vehicles, the type of vehicles typically parked at a home improvement center. The Planning Commission conditioned its recommendation to require a parking analysis with each business license application for a parking intensive business, e.g., restaurants, doctors/dentists, etc. Implementing this requirement means having such tenants retain a parking consultant to access the tenant's parking demand against the development's parking supply. However, staff does not concur with the Commission's recommendation for the following reasons: . First, staff believes that there would be adequate parking for the permitted uses proposed by this development. Parking demands for a multi-tenant commercial development overlap - for example, a customer to the Home Depot or to a satellite tenant may then patronize the development's restaurant or another business or businesses. This concept reflects the analysis in the traffic study, which factored the internal capture of trips by this development. Page 12 of 21
