STAFF ANALYSIS: The staff has no objections to the proposed expansion of the business college. There are various uses in the area with single family on the south. The staff foresees no adverse impact to the surrounding area. The current parking capacity of 194 spaces is adequate. The applicant is proposing 190 future parking spaces. The site plan should be more specific concerning the proposed parking. The applicant needs to meet with the City Traffic Engineer to discuss the parking proposal. The applicant also needs to extend the privacy fence northward to connect it with the building to prevent access to West 44th Street. Finally, the north portion of the property needs to be down zoned from "I-2" to "0-2" (the appropriate district). STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval provided that the applicant agrees to: (1) submit specific parking plans as approved by the City Traffic Engineer; (2) extend the privacy fence to prevent access to and from West 44th Street; and (3) down zone the north portion of the property from "I-2" to "0-2."
