Planning Commission Agenda Packet 07222026

P26-0419, 1069 Serpentine Lane, Suite A Planning Commission 6 of 8 Suite B contains approximately 2,615 square feet and would remain an office use. Applying the office parking standard of one space per 300 square feet yields a requirement of nine parking spaces. If each use were operating at its maximum parking demand simultaneously, the combined parking requirement would total 35 parking spaces (23 for the religious facility, three for the warehouse, and nine for the office). However, staff finds that these uses have distinctly different peak operating periods, allowing the allocated 28 on-site parking spaces to adequately accommodate all uses through shared parking. Specifically, the office tenant in Suite B primarily operates during standard business hours, generally Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., when attendance at the proposed religious facility is expected to be minimal. Conversely, the applicant has indicated that the religious facility's primary worship services and peak attendance periods will occur after 6 p.m., on weekdays and weekends, when office parking demand is substantially reduced, and the parking spaces serving Suite B are generally available. Similarly, the warehouse operation maintains a limited on-site employee presence throughout the day and generates only occasional vehicle activity associated with loading and unloading, resulting in minimal parking demand. In addition, religious assembly uses typically generate lower parking demand than would otherwise be expected because many attendees arrive as family groups or participate in informal carpooling, thereby reducing the number of vehicles parked on-site during worship services and other events. Based on the complementary operating hours of the three uses, the low parking demand associated with the warehouse tenant, and the shared parking characteristics of the multi- tenant commercial center, staff concludes that the 28 allocated parking spaces are sufficient to accommodate the existing and proposed uses without creating adverse parking impacts. Furthermore, the balance of the four-building complex includes additional shared parking that is generally available during the proposed religious facility's peak hours, further supporting the adequacy of the overall parking supply. As an additional safeguard, a recommended condition of approval authorizes the Director of Community and Economic Development to refer the Conditional Use Permit back to the Planning Commission if parking impacts are observed following occupancy. If necessary, the Planning Commission may modify the permit to address parking issues by limiting attendance, adjusting operating hours, or implementing other operational controls to ensure continued compliance with the City's parking objectives. Noise Conditional uses must be consistent with PMC Chapter 9.04 (Noise Regulations), which are designed to promote stability of existing conforming land uses and protect them from inharmonious or intrusive impacts from new land uses.
