AUG 0 9 1990 MOO ti,. ; average. There is a question of how specific you want to get, and whether, when those things are added, you have to do another study. Discussion continued at length about refining categories, threshholds, owner's responsibility to rent to clients that come under the categories provided for, etc., and Mr. Dill commented that he was just suggesting there may be a way to refine this so we don't always go with the maximum parking for peak demand and subsequently end up with paving that is not being used for most of the year. He wanted to find a way to cut down on the amount of pavement we have in this county. Director Keating believed P&Z considered this idea and turned it down at their workshop. Mr. Dill concluded by expressing his feeling that the little guy, the small developer with a small strip center, is being required to build to maximum standards, but the requirements for regional malls have been reduced. Steve Hawkins referred to the requirement on Page 8 which calls for 5 spaces per gross acre for each acre of open space generating user parking demand, and wondered how that demand is determined. Chairman Eggert assumed that a ball field in the South County Park, for instance, would be one thing, but the nature area would be addressed differently. Director Boling advised that some of the specific recreation uses are treated elsewhere. This deals with things such as botanical gardens with paths going through them. He explained that you have to look at something to tie your space to, and he felt the area generating parking demand would be whatever attraction people are winding around and through to see. For example, if you had paths all the way through McKee Jungle Gardens, you would probably look at that entire sight and you would end up with 75 spaces for that entire park. 28
