City Code restricts lot coverage to 35% of the lot area; the site plan for the retail center is proposing 14% lot coverage. The applicant is applied for a variance from the 30% impervious surface restriction required under City Code for the part of the property located within the Critical River and Wild and Scenic River Overlay District. The Board of Adjustment met on April 3, 2001 to consider the request and granted approval of the variance. In accordance with City Code, all driveways, off-street parking and maneuvering areas are proposed to be surfaced with bituminous pavement and finished with B-6/12 concrete curbing. City Code requires 1 space for every 200 square feet of retail floor area. The applicant has stated that 90% of the square footage will be used as retail floor area, which will require 105 parking spaces. The site plan shows 113 parking stalls. -159-
