Mr. Toy stated that the restaurant will be a quality restaurant
and he has received the support of many local businesses.
Commissioner Terry asked staff the current status on parking in
the Downtown area and the need for a parking structure. Director
Smith explained that Wilbur Smith's Traffic Report indicates that
two lots on Baden Avenue are never filled to capacity and until
there is a definite need a parking structure will not be built.
Commissioner Getz noted that an increase in the amount of traffic
in the Downtown area as a result of this project would stimulate
demand for a structure.
The Commissioners agreed that the project will be beneficial to
the City and that the In-Lieu Parking Fees shall be waived as
recommended by the Parking Commission.
