parking signs if and nnly if the City takes action to establish parking time limits. Finding: This MDNS does not approve conversion of adjoining on-street long-term parking to short term parking. Procedures for changing parking are under jurisdiction of the Traffic Engineer, City Transportation Advisory Committee, and City Council . The consideration of change in parking time-limits may be in response to property owners in the area. Any such proposal would be considered in the appropriate public forum. If the City Council does determine that need on a timely basis, Mitigation Measure Number Seven places funding or installation responsibility of signs for time-limits on the applicant. However, no such conversion is before the City Council at this time. rnnnluginn: Concerns raised by the Appellant would be more properly addressed at such time as the City considers a proposal to convert the long-term parking to short-term parking. Note: If time-limits are established, retail and business clients can use shorter-term parking in the public right-of-way on this segment of Colby instead of those needing the parking for an extended period (employees, and high school staff and students) . If time limits are imposed, there is still sufficient long-term parking available within a reasonable distance on-street and in off-street parking facilities. Furthermore, Mitigation Measure Number Seven will only be implemented if the City established parking time limits. ISSUE: LOSS OF PARKING DUE TO LOADING ZONES The Appellant stated that mitigation measures ignored the probable need for loading zones which will come out of existing unlimited parking spaces. He felt that the impact of reduced spaces should require the addition of off street parking from this project. Finding: According to Section 34.090 of the Zoning Code, Off-Street Loading Requirements, "Every non-residential building. . .engaged in retail. . .shall provide truck loading and unloading, Pxnppt in the B-3 zone. " Finding: For uses less than 5,000 square feet, the traffic engineer shall be authorized to require loading space. (See p. 34-05 of the Zoning Code) Finding: The Traffic Engineer did not indicate a need for loading zones for this project. ronc1nsinn: If loading zones are imposed on the public right-of-way, the action would be initiated by the City based on appropriate standards and would take into account street parking. 7 clbyffcr
