ACTION TAKEN
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Councilman Damonte questioned whether
the alternatives for parking had been
discussed with the Planning Commission.
Director of Community Development
Dell'Angela explained the alternate
recommendations: 1½ spaces for studio
units, 2 spaces for one-bedroom and
2½ spaces for two or more bedroom units.
He further stated the above alternatives
had been brought before the Planning
Commission and were supported as
alternate~parking plans.
A discussion followed on the ratio
of studio apartments to one and two
bedroom apartments.
Councilwoman Teglia requested a
discussion of the Ordinance Section by
Section.
Councilman Damonte suggested the Off-
Street Parking Standards be sent back
to the Planning Commission with the
request that one recommendation only
should be presented to Council.
Vice-Mayor Acosta did not think it
equitable that with seniors there was
to be one parking space for every
three units and yet in a studio it
was to be 1½ spaces per studio unit.
Director of Community Development
Dell'Angela said with an elderly
project the one space to every 3 Units
would apply and in regular apartment
units the 1½ spaces per studio would
apply.
Vice-Mayor Acosta was concerned that
if a flat two spaces per unit was
required it would restrict people
building in the downtown area where
there is greater density and less
land for parking.

On the question Councilman Damonte
asked if the Ordinance just introduced

City Manager Birkelo said that unless
Council adopted the Ordinance as presented,
a flat 2 spaces per unit, the only Option
left is to go through the alternatives and
select those to be incorporated into a
new Ordinance for the next meeting.
Mayor Mirri said there will be a
discussion on the items to be incorporated
through an amendment of the motion and
they will be discussed on the question.

since the recommendation was for the
