B. Staff Analysis:
The C-1 zoned property at the southwest corner of Bowman and
Kanis Roads is occupied by a relatively new, 3,856 square
foot commercial building and an 11 -space parking lot. A
dry-cleaning drop-off and pick-up business occupies 2,500
square feet of the building. The applicant proposes to
place a Subway Sandwich Shop in the remaining 1,356 square
foot portion. The total parking required for the two uses
is 21 spaces; 8 for the drycleaners and 13 for the sandwich
shop. The applicant also owns the adjacent property, at
1210-1212 S. Bowman Road. He proposes to construct the
additional 10 required parking spaces on this adjacent
tract. The code limits the amount of off-site parking to no
more than 25% of the required parking. This proposal would
result in 48% of the required parking being located off-
site.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. The two
properties are adjacent so there is no great distance
between the parking spaces and the businesses being served.
If employees are directed to park in the off-site spaces, it
will free -up the spaces directly adjacent to the sandwich
shop and drycleaners. The proposed development of the new
parking lot on the 1210-1212 Bowman Road property will
result in better development on that site. Currently, 6
parking spaces on that site back directly into Bowman Road.
Those spaces will be removed and incorporated into the new,
properly developed parking lot. The new parking lot is
being located in such a manner that, at some point, the
older buildings on the site could be removed and a new
building constructed to line-up with the Subway/drycleaners
building.
On February 8, 2001, the Planning Commission voted to
recommend approval of the applicant's request to rezone the
lot at 1210-1212 Bowman Road from R-2 to C-1. That request
has been set for the Board of Directors March 6, 2001
agenda.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested variance to allow
the off-site parking subject to compliance with the
following conditions:

1. The parking spaces on the property at 1208 Bowman Road
(where the Subway Sandwich Shop is proposed) are to be
for use by customers. Employees are to park on the
new, off-site parking lot at 1210-1212 Bowman Road.
2. Development of the new parking lot is to conform to all
applicable landscaping, buffering and screening
requirements.
3. Compliance with Public Works Comments including any
variance or waiver of those requirements as may be
granted by the Director of Public Works or the Board of
Directors.
4. The property at 1210-1212 Bowman Road (Lot 21 Rick and
Steve's Subdivision) must be rezoned to C-1.

bylaws and to accept the notices as performed by the applicant.
The motion was approved by a vote of 5 ayes, 0 noes and 0 absent.
