When the applicable Minimum Development Standards below have been met, this criterium will be met. MINIMUM DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS TO BE MET (Ref. Section 31.040 of the SDC). MDS ARE APPLIED IN LIEU OF FULL SITE PLAN REVIEW TO ENSURE MINIMAL COMPLIANCE WITH APPEARANCE AND SAFETY STANDARDS SPECIFIED IN THE SPRINGFIELD DEVELOPMENT CODE AND TO REDUCE PROCESSING TIME FOR DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL. THE FOLLOWING ARE CONSIDERED MINIMAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS: [X] THE DEVELOPMENT MUST CONNECT TO PUBLIC UTILITIES. The existing building is connected to pUblic utilities. Storm drainage is by ditch, however, an Improvement Agreement will be required. [X] THE DEVELOPMENT MUST COMPLY WITH THE SPRINGFIELD BUILDING SAFETY CODES.

The remaining 2,400 square feet is used for warehousing. At one space for every 600 square feet, 4 parking spaces are required. Therefore, before expansion, a total of 8 off-street parking spaces are required. After expansion, the office space will be 3,200 (11 spaces) square' feet and the warehouse space will be 1,360 (3 spaces) square feet. A total of 14 parking spaces will be required, a net increase of 6 parking spaces. . . . ..,-. Page 2 Future Logging Findings The plan shows 11 existing parking spaces which are either in the pUblic right of way or back into the pUblic right of way. Typically, only three additional off-street parking spaces would be required (11+3=14). However, nine of these parking spaces are shown within the public right of way. These parking spaces cannot be permitted to continue for the following reasons: 1. Section 31.170(6) of the Springfield Development Code states: spaces in the pUblic right of way shall not be counted as fulfilling of the parking requirements for a development." "Parking any part 2. Section 31.190(4) of the Springfield Development Code states: parking areas of less than 4 spaces on a residentially zoned into the pUhlic right of way, other than alleys is prohibited."

However, Table 32-4 of the Springfield Development Code requires the driveway to serve the off-street parking to be 150 feet from the intersection of Industrial Ave. and N.31st Street. There may be a conflict with the existing mobile home on Tax Lot 4700. 2. The property owned by Future Logging to the south may be used to provide the 14 paved parking spaces.
