5. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
a. Planned Parenthood-Applicant
John R. Penna Trust-Owner
435 Grand Avenue
P13-0020: PE13-0002
Parking Exception for thirteen (13) parking spaces to allow a 7,846 sq.
ft. Medical Office/Clinic located at 435 Grand Avenue in the Downtown
Core (DC) Zoning District in accordance with SSFMC Section
20.330.007 & 20.440.007.
Associate Planner Ajello presented the staff report, explaining the reason for the
parking exception. She noted that, as is typical for most Downtown businesses,
there is not sufficient on-site parking for the proposed change in use of the
property so the applicant requests a parking exception to allow the required
parking to be accommodated within the City’s public lots and metered street
spaces. She also clarified how the thirteen space parking requirement was
calculated. She further noted that based on staff’s observations of street parking
in the area and the documented low usage of spaces in the Miller Avenue
parking garage that there is adequate parking available in the District to
accommodate the proposed office use, and that consistent with other parking
exception applications, staff is recommending that the applicant be required to
purchase a minimum of 12 annual parking permits for employees of the proposed
use.
Associate Planner Ajello explained that the Parking Exception is the first step in
the application process towards a required conditional use permit for the project.
Jeff Cecil, architect, noted he was available for questions regarding parking.
Commissioners inquired about some of the operational aspects of the use,
including the number of staff members and exam rooms, and the hours of
operation. The applicant stated there would be 12 staff members, 8 exam rooms
and 8:30am-5pm hours of operation, Monday through Friday.
Commissioners had additional questions about the traffic flow to the clinic. The
applicant stated that most would walk, use public transportation or be dropped off
and picked up.
Principal Planner Beaudin reiterated that there is a condition of approval
requiring annual parking permits be purchased for the 12 employees and
explained how the yearly renewals are tracked and verified by the Planning
Division. Commissioner Faria inquired about the number of people who could be
expected at one time in the office. The applicant noted that it is by appointment.
Principal Planner Beaudin recommended that since there were more people than
the conference room could accommodate that the Chair open the public hearing
and continued the matter to a date certain to allow for a larger venue.
Chairperson Parenti opened the public hearing and called for a motion to
continue the item.
Motion--Chairperson Parenti/Second—Commissioner Faria to continue the
public hearing on the item to Thursday, March 21, 2013 at the Municipal Services
Building, 33 Arroyo Drive, City Council Chambers at 6 pm.
