(TF-IO0) 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. 1/2/8o Page 3 COI~MUNI TY DEVELOPMENT Items 6 and 7- Continued.

M/S Borba/Teglia - That the Ordinance be introduced by reading title only. On the question Councilman Damonte asked if the Ordinance just introduced covered garage door openers and if it did not it should be incorporated into the Ordinance. 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. Director of Community Development Dell'Angela discussed in-depth the Staff Report on alternate amendments to the Off-Street Parking Standards and the Planning Commission's recommendation. Mayor Mirri requested the City Attorney and the Director of Community Development to work out the legal ramifications of any proposed changes in parking and come back to Council.
