Items from Staff
In-Lieu Parking Fees
May 10, 1984 Staff Report presented.
The Commission concurred with Staff's recommendation that draft Ordinance "B" is
the preferred approach. This Ordinance proposes that the Planning Commission would
have the authority to grant parking exceptions with consideration given to the Parking
Place Commission's recommendations. Director Dell'Angela stated that Parking Place
Commissioner Sciandri was unable to be present at tonight's meeting. It was the
consensus of the Commission, after discussion, that the second ordinance should be
suggested to the City Council. Chairman Getz suggested that actual fees not be
made a part of this Ordinance but be placed on the City's Master Fee Schedule.
Items from the Commission
Commissioners Hoyer and Martin advised Staff that they would be unable to be present
at the June 14, 1984 Planning Commission Meeting.
