NONCONFORMING FEATURES
1.General Plan Density Requirement – Max. 0.50 FAR, while the current FAR is 0.56. No
expansion or addition is proposed as a part of the project.
2.Lot Dimensions and Size – Site is a legal lot of record.
3.Trash Enclosure. There is no space to construct a new trash enclosure which meets the
required specifications. Use of a utility room is proposed to store trash bins.
Condition of Approval (PLN 13) is recommended which requires the applicant to confirm with
PSDS that appropriate trash service can be provided for the site.

OFF-STREET PARKING
1.The site is designed with 5 parking spaces, while 11 spaces would be required per Zoning
Code.
2.In 2023, the Director approved a parking waiver to address the parking deficiency issue when
a restaurant was proposed at the site – Applicant is requesting an LUP Amendment for the
proposed bar use.
3.Off-street parking demand for the restaurant and the bar is identical based on the size,
amount of seating, and uses within the building as proposed.
4.Director of Planning Services is the approval body of the LUP Amendment; therefore, the
matter is excluded from this CUP application review.
