DARROW:Sure. The issues that are brought by Mr. Parazette are mainly dealt
<br />with at the time of Plan Approval; and, you know, he brings up a lot of issues regarding
<br />parking, and those will all be dealt with at the time of Plan Approval when they come in.
<br />Theres a, you know, as far as the different, the size of the building, theyre going to need
<br />to be able to address the -. Once, if there is a change in the type of uses that occur, like
<br />Mr. Parazette is talking about a change between Industrial versus Commercial that will be
<br />looking at a different square footage in regards to parking, that will be something that
<br />would need to be re-addressed. I would think that at this time if the building is under
<br />construction, it has already come before Plan Approval. So thats something that will
<br />need to be addressed in regards to the change in uses.
<br />FUKE:That is correct. Plan Approval was issued by the Planning
<br />Department, and that is the only way that you can get your building permit. And when
<br />the Plan Approval was issued, it was predicated upon one stall for every 400 square feet.
<br />NotallIndustrialuseswithintheMLzonecallsforlikeonestallforevery400square
<br />feet. For example, if you have like warehouse space, the stall requirement is one stall for
<br />every 1,000 square feet. On the other hand, if you have like a medical office or a retail
<br />establishment, then the stall requirement changes one stall for every 300 square feet. So
<br />this is what Mr. Parazette is raising about. And so what I mentioned earlier is that when
<br />you, this is just a shell. So any use that occupies a portion of it, you need to have like
<br />interior permits coming in; and prior to issuance of that, you need to have Plan Approval
<br />according to the Code. And when you do that then the specific uses become articulated
<br />and the Planning Department then would say, well, you know, youve got x number of
<br />stalls on the property and so this is how much, you know, youll be allocated for this
<br />particular use; and then youll find out like what the balance is. And if in the end, you
<br />know, the last user comes in and theres not enough parking, then the Applicant would be
<br />limited in terms of what kind of use can then enter into the project, or find the alternative
<br />parking within a 1,000-foot radius.
<br />SIRACUSA:Thank you for clarifying that. Director, youre ready?
<br />YUEN:Well, what I said is basically correct. I also want, you also lose
<br />some uses when you go from ML to MCX. Generally, some of the things that would be
<br />more Light Industrial in nature you lose the possibility of airfields, airports and private
<br />landing strips, animal quarantine stations, automobile-truck storage facilities. Bakeries
<br />are in there now I think in MCX. So generally MCX is, you know, without going
<br />through the list completely, MCX is more favorable for commercial, retail and office
<br />types of uses; and ML is more favorable for a broader range of Light Industrial types of
<br />uses.
<br />SIRACUSA:Okay. I just wanted to state that the reason I was asking these
<br />questions is because already we havent even started and weve lost one of the proposed
<br />uses, and that being the dialysis center. And, of course, once the Change of Zone goes
<br />through, then its a done deed. So I wanted to know what other things could be expected
<br />if there are more changes, such as if those doctors decide, you know, over a period of
<br />time not to renew leases or whatever, something else happens. Thank you.
