Board of Adjustment Meeting July 2, 2024 Page 2 Motion was made by Larry Walker, seconded by Carlton Cooper to approve the variance to the City of Paris Off -Street Parking and Loading Regulations, Section 10-103 based on the following condition and findings. Motion carried 4 ayes — 0 nays. Condition 1. If parking situations in the future vary from the predictions of this parking study, that another parking study be performed, at the property owner's expense to analyze the situation, and provide additional parking based on the outcome of that study. The city would notify the property owner in writing of any future issues and request that additional study. Findings 1. The request for variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of Section 10-102 Computing Parking and Loading Requirements. Staff agrees with the findings of the subject property's parking study. Approval of this variance will not adversely affect the character of the immediate vicinity of the area. 2. If approved, the smaller parking lot will reduce the impervious surfaces of the property and will benefit the city with less runoff and potential stormwater issues. 3. The hardship sought to be avoided is not the result of (a) the applicant's own actions (self- imposed or self-created), but rather it is based upon realistic site uses, with 5 shifts of work over a 24-hour period, while providing for more future employees as well. 4.
