B. Staff Comments
Planning/Zoning Division
The project site contains a sufficient amount of parking for the proposed use and the adjacent tenant, Papa Johns, which is a carry out/delivery pizza restaurant. Shared use of the parking area, as allowed in accordance with WMC 24.11.050, is justified in that Papa Johns requires a minimal amount of parking due to the pickup and delivery nature of the business.
No bike parking is provided. Both short- and long-term bicycle parking in compliance with City Code 24.11.080 is required prior to occupancy permit issuance.
Fourteen (14) public notification letters related to the project were sent per City regulations.
