Session 1806 March 19, 2001 want to park on Loop South behind the bank. They would want to park near the destination. Craft Alliance is near the destination. They wish to be on the record to not objecting to Mr. Barkett's plan for putting in an Urban Outfitters, but they are concerned about the availability of parking and wish to protect their parking agreement. They are also concerned about this project is being pushed through, not using proper p roced u re s. Mr. Schoomer moved approval, with all conditions. Ms. Colquitt seconded the motion. Responding to Mr. Wagner, Mr. Ollendorff said that there are two processes that new buildings have to go through; site plan or conditional use. Certain uses have to have conditional use permits, such as restaurants, gas stations, etc. Conditional uses have to before the Plan Commission prior to the City Council. Straight retail require a site plan. Site plan uses go to the planning staff, then to him and finally to the City Council. Responding to Ms. Colquitt, Mr. Ollendofff stated that Craft Alliance has only seen the preferred parking plan that we hope to build. It does include enough additional parking to include their needs. It does require the formal approval of a signed agreement between all the parties and we do not have that yet. Responding to Mr. Munkel, Mr. Ollendorff stated that the preferred plan will preserve Craft Alliance's parking rights. The City could not, even if we wanted to, take away Craft Alliance's existing rights to a certain amount of parking in that existing lot. The City wishes to protect those rights, but assure them that there is additional parking for their addition. Responding to Mr. Lieberman, Mr. Ollendorff clarified that their current parking rights are protected, not expansion parking. It is hopeful, that additional parking can be guaranteed through the proposed parking plan for their expansion, as well. The motion to approve carried unanimously.
