DISCUSSION-PARKING REQUIREMENTS
Mr. Massarelli pointed out that the code requires many more parking spaces for doctor offices:than
are needed for other professional offices. This has affected the ability to place other medical and
office businesses in existing sites. He suggested utilizing the code with a little more flexibility,

pointed out that all office businesses do not require the same number of parking spaces.

thc number of parkin~ spaces required for her to practice her profession in Sebastian as a solo

Mr. Fischer mentioned that a varmnce can be'obtained for the number of parkin8 spaces needed.
Ms. Norma Damp spokc about how some Doctor's parking space needs are much lower than the
average because of their limited practice.
Mr. Massarelli suggested that in the interim, until a better system can be impl~ thc City
needs to be aware of the need to be flexible in utilizin~ thc code in reference to required parking for
various office businesses.
