Description/Background:
The applicant, Brady Flamm, representing the proposed business owner Nick Morgan, with permission of the property owner, Odesza Enterprises, LLC., is requesting the planning commission to make a determination of adequacy for off-street vehicle parking for the proposed new use of an existing building as indoor recreation. The property is located at 8676 S. 1300 E. St. and is zoned Neighborhood Commercial (CN).
The Sandy City Development Code Section 21-24-8(b) does not specify a parking space number requirement for this proposed indoor recreation land use. Under the generalized “Special Review” land use category of that code section, the specific off-street parking requirement is to be determined by the planning commission, on a case-by-case basis. The purpose of this application is for the planning commission to decide whether the existing eight (8) off-street parking stalls located on the site, will be sufficient for the proposed golf simulator membership business, based upon the information provided by the applicant. Please see the provided parking study which has been prepared by a professional transportation engineer as (Exhibit A) and application materials (Exhibit B).
Please see the attached staff report and exhibits for full details of the request.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission make a determination that the existing eight (8) off-street vehicle parking stalls are adequate for the proposed indoor recreation use, as described in the staff report for the property located at 8676 S. 1300 E. St., based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
1. Discontinuation of the existing distribution and warehousing operation, and the sale of the property to the proposed business owner will eliminate a current land use violation and bring the property into conformance.
2. The proposed indoor recreation use, subject to the limitations described in the application materials, will be a suitable adaptive re-use and of the existing building and site.
Conditions:
1. That the applicant complies with all applicable zoning regulations of the CN Zone District.
2. That the applicant addresses trash removal through other means (e.g. cleaning service removes the refuse from the site) as an on-site dumpster does not fit on the property.
3. That the applicant applies for a tenant improvement building permit to make any required changes to the main floor of the building to install the golf simulator units as per the included building floor plan.
4. That the applicant file for a business license for the proposed new use and that the building be inspected by planning staff, building inspectors and the fire marshal for code compliance with the proposed new business use.
5. That no use or occupancy of the illegally constructed attic space improvements be allowed. That the basement only be used for utilities and storage related to the building tenant. That no mini-storage or any other type of use be allowed in the basement or attic without further review and approval of the City.
