The proposed Legacy Hillcrest Project in Snider Plaza is 187,000 SF

• That is 75% larger than allowed.

Based on 187,000 sq feet and their proposed use of that space.

• The minimum required parking spaces is 721. 
• They are proposing 521 spaces, which is 200 short

The Legacy Hillcrest developer submitted a Traffic  impact study

• They project 4128 car trips to and from the building.

Note:  If the “use” changes, traffic is impacted and could easily be doubled! 

• If Office Space is changed to Specialty Retail – Traffic is increased
• If Bank Space is changed to Drive Up Bank Space – Traffic is increased
• If Office Space is changed to Restaurant – Traffic is increased
• If Restaurant Space is changed to High Turn Over Restaurant – Traffic is increased

There are no provisions for providing additional parking for Snider Plaza. 

In fact, a 25,000 SF is allocated for a restaurant and retail space that opens onto the plaza.  It is my understanding that this will eat up the surface space in the first two blocks of Snider Plaza.
