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. He stated that parking was a major problem in the downtown area.

Ms Lopez i ndi cated that the appl i cant was in agreement wi th Staff's recommendati on
regarding the two (2) off-street parking spaces and would comply with all conditions
of approval.
Mr. Edwards, a businessman on Grand Avenue, indicated he was also addressing his con-
cerns to the two variances being requested. He expressed concerns about the downtown
parking problem. 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."
