Pursuant to Section 41-632.2 of the SAMC, the Planning Commission can grant a variance for a reduction in required parking if the reduction exceeds more than 20.percent of the minimum ordinance requirement. As proposed, the applicant is requesting a' 45 percent reduction. Variance requests from off-street parking may. be granted by the Planning Commission when it can, be shown that there exists a special circumstance related to the property, is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights, will not be detrimental to the public or surrounding property, and will not adversely affect the General Plan. Staff has prepared the following analysis that forms the basis for the variance recommendation contained in this report. To determine whether or not the number of proposed parking spaces will be adequate to support the proposed and existing uses, the applicant hired Hartzog and Crabill, Inc., a traffic and transportation engineering consultant, to'conduct a parking demand study. The'study evaluated the existing demand generated by the current Elks lodge and the Orange County's Credit Union. facilities on an hourly basis for a weekday and weekend. The study determined that the parking demand at the current Elks Lodge facility, which is approximately 39,000 square feet and has a total of 180 parking stalls on site, peaked at 86 spaces on weekdays at 7:00 p.m. and 148 spaces on weekends at 9:00 p.m. The Orange County's Credit Union facility, which has a total of 220 parking stalls on site, peaked at 181 spaces on weekdays at 1:00 p.m. and 66 spaces on weekends at 2:00 p.m. The observed peak parking demand at the current Elks and Orange County's Credit Union facilities represents "parking spaces occupied” which was then used to project the parking demand of the proposed Elks lodge facility and the "current Orange County's Credit Union facility. The combined site is forecasted to peak at 155 spaces on weekdays at 5:00 p.m. and 152 spaces on weekends at 9:00 p.m., well below the 377 total spaces on site. In addition, the study examined the effect of Orange County's Credit Union's employee transfers and new employees and new Elks membership and concluded that through the shared parking agreement between both organizations the parking provided will meet the current and future needs of both organizations. 32A-6
