HISTORY: This property was adapted from a fire station to the City's Cultural
Arts facility in 1998, designating 4 handicapped parking spaces. The
plan was reviewed and approved by the Texas Department of
Licensing and Regulations relative to compliance with the American
Disability Act requirements. During the State review it was noted
that the provision of only two ADA parking spaces would meet
federal guidelines. In response to this determination, the two State
required spaces were constructed and the two additional spaces were
omitted.
Soon thereafter, it was brought to the City's attention that there was a
discrepancy between the approved plan and the site. On July 11,
2000 City Council approved an amendment to the site plan showing
only two ADA parking spaces, consr =t,~,- ,,Hth rebut is nn the ~rour
today. ATTACHED TO
Item# 16 C.C. PACKET
TRANSPORTATION: Moore Road is a C2U undivided street contained within a 60-foot
fight of way and is built to standard.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- Single-family residential; SF-12
South - Austin Elementary School; SF-12
East - Single-family residences; PD SF-7
West - Austin Elementary School; SF-12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
public/institutional uses.
DISCUSSION: The City is requesting to again provide a total of four handicapped
spaces. The request to provide two additional handicapped spaces is
in response to a citizen complaint with the Texas Department of
Licensing and Regulation. Initially, two ADA spaces were required
based on the provision of 40 on-site spaces. However, it has been
determined that the required number of ADA spaces should be based
on on-site and off-site spaces available through the shared parking
agreement at Austin Elementary School.
In addition to the request to revise the parking, the City is also
requesting to install a 10-ton cooling unit with accessory ductwork at
the rear of the building (west side). The cooling unit measures 7' in
length, 3' in width and 4' in height. The concrete support pad for the
cooling unit is shown to measure 9' x 9' square; however, it has been
determined that the unit can be placed lengthwise against the
building, reducing the width of the concrete pad. Staff has
recommended that Dwarf Burford Hollies be installed on the south
and west sides of the unit to adequately screen the unit from view.
The ductwork connecting the unit to the interior of the building will
project 1' from the building wall, however, it will be covered and
painted red oxide to match the building. Although our preference
would suggest a roof mounted air conditioning unit, a structural
engineer investigation has determined the roof can not support the
added weight of the air conditioning unit.
