According to the ordinance One (1)parking space is required per every four-hundred(400)square feet of gross floor area. The existing building is 15,797 sqaure feet and will have 6-8 exam rooms with tip to 3 doctors at the facility at one time. We are asking for a reduction of parking spaces from 39 spaces to 0 spaces because the majority of the parking spaces for this property are located adjacent to the building within the alley and also east of the alley at 2920 Mishawaka Avenue belonging to the owner. 39 parking spaces is more spaces than are needed to run the proposed business. 8) A statement on how each of the following standards for the granting of variances is met: (a) The approval will not be injurious to the public health,safety,morals and general welfare of the community: This approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and gereral welfare of the community because our plans are to take an existing vacant building and parking lot and improve upon it. The building along with the parking lot will receive improvements. Currently with the old busines, customers would park on the east side of the parking lot within the desiganted striped parking spaces but also along the building within the alley way. Our plans are to vacate the alley, stripe areas along the building where cars already park, move the entry drive east and away from the building creating a much safer approach into the parking lot and also create some upfront landscaping to soften the impact of the parking lot.
