Mr. Rich Walton, Planning and Zoning Director, stated that there
• is no documentation to show if the original approvals calculated
the proposed square footage of non- residential on roads, traffic,
etc., through the PCD or DRI.
Mr. Walton advised that Mr. Kahart Pinder, Kimley -Horn Associ-
ates, is conducting a parking analysis on behalf of the City. He
has completed one day of study, on a weekday, and Mr. Orr has
requested that Mr. Pinder include a Saturday in his report,
particularly in the morning and evening hours.
Mr. Ornstein suggested conducting a Code analysis, based on the
square footage and usage, using the Zoning Code as a guide.
Mr. Walton stated the original approval for the PUD required 1142
• parking spaces. However, since that time there have been two
additions, the croquet facility and a health spa, for which no
additional parking was provided.
Chairman Vogel stated he has noted that the parking lot southeast
of the existing health club appears to be underutilized.
Ms. Donna Cesaro, of Urban Design Studio, addressed the Commis-
sion presenting an aerial and site plan of the proposed project.

signing the site in order to preserve the parking.

the facility would jeopardize the architectural integrity of the
•
project.

reporting on the status of the parking analysis he is conducting
on the subject site on behalf of the City.

convention and /or tournament activity.

spaces available to the public versus the entire parking lot.

tions submitted by staff.
