1 Gunderson Planning & Design 711 North 21 s t Street Boise, Idaho TO: Vincent Tabor Project # Boise City Application Number: CUP Project: Tabor Residence Style Salon Subject: Parking Status Date: 27 January 2012 CC / Reference Codes: CC: Method Role Company Name Contact Code Project Manager Gunderson Planning & Design Dean Gunderson GPD Public Planner Boise City Development Services David Moser BCD Client Tabor Style Salon Vincent Tabor TSS Purpose of Memo This memo is being submitted to clarify the status of the parking requirements for the Special Exception for the proposed Development at 2100 State Street (CUP ). And, is intended as a supplement to the additional site development plan, titled SD-2 (Off-site Parking Analysis), and a colorized version of the originally submitted building plan indicating the portion of the Main Floor that will be used for the proposed Hair Style Salon see attached. The purpose of this analysis is to indicate the relative lack of use of the existing on-street parking spaces located along North 21 st Street adjacent to the subject parcel. It is not the intent of the applicant to assume a prior or guaranteed use of such public facilities, but to indicate its presence and capacity to absorb any intermittent over-flow need that may (time to time) occur once his Hair Style Salon is operating. According to Boise City s on-site parking requirements, the proposed use requires two parking spaces for the on-going residential use, AND one additional parking space for each 300 sqft of non-residential use proposed. The proposed non-residential Personal Service use is a total of 595 square feet in size (which includes the ancillary square footage contained in the dedicated rest room). If the Ancillary space s square footage is removed as is typical when calculating parking requirements the square footage of the Personal Service use is further reduced to square feet. Whether using the larger 595 sqft or smaller sqft figure for the Personal Service space, due to rounding-up requirements the Hair Style Salon would require (2) additional parking spaces one of which must comply with the Van Accessible stall design criteria. Since one of the existing parking spaces for the on-going residential use is for the Owner/Resident/Applicant himself and he cannot occupy two parking spaces simultaneously (one as a Hair Stylist, and one as a Resident) he will provide one of his Residential Parking Spaces for himself as one of the employees of the Hair Style Salon. Therefore the total number of required on-site parking spaces per the Boise City Zoning Ordinance is three (3). Two parking spaces will be required in the evening when the style salon is not operating, while two spaces are required when the salon is operating. Since one of these spaces will be provided from the stock of existing residential parking spaces (because the Owner/Resident/Applicant is one of the employees of the salon) a maximum total of three (3) spaces is required on-site at any one time. The applicant plans to provide four (4) hair style stations in the 595 sqft Hair Style Salon, not because he envisions that four stylists (and their four customers) will all be working at the same time but, because the proprietary contractual nature of each stylist s relationship with the Salon Page 1

2 Owner (the applicant) requires that they be provided an exclusive station for themselves. On average, the Applicant envisions a maximum number of stylists at work at any single time (including himself) to be two this will perforce generate a parking demand of four (4) spaces, if all the customers choose to drive to their appointments. Based on the applicant s current clientele list, many of his customers live close by to the property they will either ride a bike, walk, or ride a bus to the salon. It should be noted that all the State Street bus routes have nearby fixed stops located immediately adjacent to the property. The west-bound bus stop is located in front of the adjacent property (across 21 st Street), and the east-bound bus stop is located immediately across State Street from the subject property. The proposed hours of operation of the salon are from 10 AM to 5-6 PM Tuesday thru Saturday and all are by appointment only. The appointment-only nature of this Personal Service business provides an even more minutely manageable process for site utilitization. Please note the under-used, and mostly un-used, parallel parking space condition along North 21 st Street adjacent to the subject parcel as identified in the attached document SD-2. This should further ameliorate any intermittent over-flow condition on-site while keeping impacts to adjacent businesses and residential property in check.

The white truck is the spare vehicle owned by the resident of 710 N. 21 st Street, who parks his vehicle there to reduce curb-hopping. If customers from the proposed Hair Style Salon were to park along this portion of 21 st Street frontage, their vehicles will further reduce the likelihood of such scoff-law behavior. Page 3
