April 12, 1984 Parking Place Commissioner David Sciandri addressed the Commission with regard to this case and case V-84-280 (Patricia Elliott & Kathryn Wimsatt). He advised the Commission that his comments applied to both cases. Commissioner Sciandri directed the Commission's attention to Parking Place Commission Resolution No. 1-84, dated April 3, 1984. He advised the Commission that it was the intent of the Parki ng Pl ace Commi ssi on to enact thi s Resol uti on at the joi nt Ci ty Council, Planning Commission, Parking Place Commission meeting. He was advised that the Parking Place Commission did not have the authority to establish in-lieu parking fees. Therefore, an Ordinance establishing in-lieu parking fees would be recommended to the City Council for that body's approval. Commissioner Sciandri stated that if the Pl anni ng Commi ssi on approved these two vari ances a precedent woul d be set for future appl i cants si nce they coul d request a Vari ance rather than payi ng i n-l i eu fees.

In his opinion, neVJ business vI/as good for the downto\tm area but that such new businesses cause parking problems. The Commission discussed the parking problems and the Parking Place Commission Resolution. It was the consensus of the Commission that a precedent would not be set in this case since this application was filed prior to the adoption of Resolution No. 1-84. The following finding was added: "5. The Ci ty Counci 1 and Park i ng Pl ace Commi ssi on are currently consi deri ng adoption of an in-lieu fee as an interim parking relief measure. This app 1 i cati on was fi 1 ed pri or to the adopti on of Reso 1 uti on 1-84 of the Parking Place Commission. The granting of this Variance will not, therefore, set a precedent for future applications because it was filed p r i 0 r to con sid era t ion 0 fin - 1 i e u fee s . I f s u c h ani n - 1 i e u fee i s adopted, the Commission recognizes the need to apply said requirement, whenever appropriate, and also that any application filed after adoption of Resolution 1-84 is on notice of said Resolution and its requirements." ~~otion-Bertucelli/Second Martin: To approve V-84-278 and Negative Declaration No. 444 based on findings, including above added finding, and subject to all conditions contained in the Staff Report.
