He further stated that he believed a traffic study should be done. Mr. Dell' Angela said this parking lot did nothing to enhance the Downtown. Senior Planner Carlson stated that parking lots are allowed in the Downtown and advised that staff had worked for quite some time to refine the parking lot design. He further stated. that since there will be fifty-one parking spaces staff did not see a need for a traffic study at this time and that the lot does meet code. He further advised all departments had reviewed the parking lot. Commissioner Lucchesi asked about the backup distance and was told that it was twenty-five feet. He questioned how the cars would hack out since the lot was a deadend. Page 3 of 4 Pages PC Meeting of 10/6/94 Planner Carlson stated that there would be slight changes in the stripping pattern. A discussion ensued regarding the design of the lot. Dennis Chuck, Engineering Division, advised the Commission that staff would examine the parking layout and he felt that they could work with it.

He further stated they could eliminate a space if needed. He also advised the Commission that he had no intention of cutting down the four tress currently on the site. Mr. Giorgi explained his future plans for the site; making a lot switch with the City and constructing a new building. Staff stated that they would add a condition requiring either a hammerhead or an aisle connecting the two parking lots adjacent to Baden Avenue.
