The church has also contacted the 1St National Bank regarding the use of their lots on Sunday mornings. The bank has approximately 37 parking spaces at the bank building. Additionally, the bank owns another 24 spaces in the parking lot east of the bank and immediately north across Main Street from the proposed church facility. They have agreed to allow the church to use these spaces. On-site and adjacent private parking lot spaces amount to 128 parking spaces, which meets City Ordinance parking requirements, if the Conditional Use Permit is passed allowing adjacent spaces in the count. In addition to the on-site and private parking there are approximately 290 public spaces available as follows: • The public parking lot directly north of the site across Main Street has approximately 130 parking spaces. • The former parking lot for the bank that is now public parking (on Main Street level) to the east of the bank has approximately 43 parking spaces. • The lower level public parking lot has approximately 34 parking spaces. • On street public parking along Main Street between, Lowell and Jackson Avenues have approximately 53 parking spaces. There are approximately 381 parking spaces on site, private and public parking spaces adjacent to the site. ADA requirements for the church indicate a need for five (5) designated parking spaces. Three of these spaces are shown on-site on the Master Plan, two on the east side of the building, one on the south. To account for the remaining two spaces, the church would like the City to consider identifying two ADA designated spaces on Main Street immediately in front of the site. They feel this would be advantageous to those in need of designated space attending functions at the facility. Additional accessible spaces are also provided in the parking lots of Dare's and the bank. In summary, the church is asking that an allowable conditional use permit be granted for the use of the former bank building and site to be used as a church facility using adjacent private and some public parking to meet ordinance parking requirements.
