Marshall suggested that this not be listed as if it were 12 a <br /> denomination. <br /> Planning Board member Hubbard inquired if this were a final <br /> inventory or if it were to be updated periodically. Torgan responded <br /> it would be updated as more information becomes available. <br /> Commissioner Walker stated that a study had been done fairly <br /> recently and that a copy of this study should help considerably. <br /> Jo Barbour indicated that a Mrs. Ingstrom had information that <br /> should be incorporated in the study. Torgan responded that those notes <br /> prepared by Mrs. Ingstrom are reportedly missing. <br /> Pearson Stewart, Triangle Land Conservancy, encouraged the Boards <br /> to amend the Land Use Plan to include this inventory and supported the <br /> suggestion to continually update the inventory as more information <br /> becomes available. <br /> 3. ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENTS <br /> a. Article 10 Off-Street Parking and Loading <br /> The presentation was made by Marvin Collins. <br /> No requirement exists in the Zoning Ordinance for the provision of <br /> handicapped parking facilities. such facilities are currently provided <br /> through the attachment of conditions of approval on subdivision plats, <br /> planned developments and special use permits, or through the <br /> application of the NC State Building Code requirements. <br /> The proposed ordinance amendments would require handicapped parking <br /> spaces to be a minimum of 13 feet in width and 20 feet in length. A <br /> minimum of two (2) handicapped spaces or one (1) for every 20 standard <br /> parking spaces would be required. Spaces must be clearly marked for <br /> handicapped use and must be within 100 feet of a building entrance. <br /> Curb cuts or ramps must also be provided for each space for access to <br /> adjoining walkways. <br /> The NC State Building Code currently requires one (1) handicapped <br /> parking space in each 50 standard spaces but recommends twice that <br /> amount. <br /> Planning Staff recommends approval of the amendment. <br /> There were no comments or questions. <br /> 4.
