Group Health first moved to their current site as a tenant occupying a part of the building. As time went on, they occupied an increasing portion of the building and subsequently purchased the building. They propose to meet their parking requirement by leasing 35 spaces from Temple Baptist Church. The church currently does not meet parPtng requirements since there are 500 seats in the chapel which would require 100 off-street parking spaces; however, the congregatlor. '.a only 150 which would require only 30 off-street parking spaces (Code requirement is one parking space fur each five seats in the chapel or nave).

In addition, the peak occupancy time for the church is at a time of low occupancy for the clinic and vice versa. The clinic will lease the 35 stalls from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday and since the church holds two services on Sunday and only one on a weekday, Wednesday from 7:00 to 10:00 PM, there will be no conflict between the two uses. Conclusion: There are exceptional circumstances applying .0 the site in regard to the need for off-street parking. 2.
