COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT:REMOTE PARKING EASEMENT FOR 121 EAST 12th STREET AND 1128
DUFF AVENUE
BACKGROUND:
A Minor Site Development Plan for 121 East 12th Street for an office building supporting
medical uses is pending administrative approval. The required minimum parking for this
office use is one parking space per 250 square feet on the ground floor and one parking
space per 200 square feet for other floors. Therefore, a total of 84 parking spaces are
required for the proposed 24,000 square-foot building. There is sufficient space on the site
for 56 parking spaces.
The property owner, Clinic Building Company, also owns property at 1128 Duff across East
12th Street to the south, where the McFarland Clinic Eye Care Center is located, facing Duff
Avenue. This site currently contains 50 parking spaces required for the Eye Care Center
building and 11 spaces required for the main McFarland Clinic building under a Remote
Parking Easement. A Minor Site Development Plan has been provided for that property
that shows expansion of the existing parking lot to provide 46 additional parking spaces.
The property owner is seeking a Remote Parking Easement to use 30 spaces from the
1128 Duff Avenue site to meet the parking requirement for the new building on 121 East
12th Street. (See Attachment A)
Ames Municipal Code Section 29.406 (18)allows remote parking to satisfy required parking
needed in the Hospital-Medical zoning district. This proposal satisfies the requirement of
the Code section that the remote parking be located on a lot within 300 feet of the lot on
which the principle building is located. The required Remote Parking Easement formalizing
this method of meeting the City's parking requirements has been created by the City's
Legal Department and signed by the property owner, and is attached for City Council
approval.
ALTERNATIVES:
1 . The City Council can approve the attached Remote Parking Easement for 121 East
12th Street and 1128 Duff Avenue.
2. The City Council can deny the attached Remote Parking Easement for 121 East 12th
Street and 1128 Duff Avenue.
3. The City Council can refer this item to staff for further information.

MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
For a Minor Site Development Plan to be approved, parking must be provided that meets
minimum City requirements. This proposal meets the standards for remote parking in the
Zoning Ordinance and expands total parking in this area to exceed the required minimum,
which may help reduce on-street parking in the future.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve
Alternative #1, thereby approving the attached Remote Parking Easement for 121 East
12th Street and 1128 Duff Avenue.
