Document Description
The proposed Project involves the construction of a new two-story, approximately 11,840-square-foot sales facility for the existing Star Mazda vehicle dealership, located in the southeastern portion of the site. It also includes the demolition of two existing structures: an approximately 8,600-square-foot showroom and service reception building in the northeastern area and an approximately 900-square-foot parts delivery and used sales manager’s office adjacent to the parts facility near the center of the site. The proposed sales building would be located on the northeast corner of the site, which is currently developed with surface parking and the showroom that is proposed to be demolished. The redesigned parking layout would accommodate 66 spaces, including 18 standard spaces for customers, 18 tandem parking spaces designated for vehicle service, and 30 tandem parking spaces for vehicle display. Due to the site’s proximity of less than half a mile from the Glendale Transportation Center and its designation as part of a High-Quality Transit Corridor, the applicant is seeking parking requirement relief under Assembly Bill 2097.
