Mr. Weinstein replied that staff took into account the parking requirement for this project, along with those of the two existing insurance offices in the building and the empty space as if it were occupied by an office, and determined that there is still excess parking available on site. Commissioner Balch noted that the speakers mentioned a discrepancy about parking with respect to 13 employee vehicles — possibly less if they carpool and possibly more at times —and the eight vans. He inquired if those were the numbers staff used for determining the adequacy of parking. Ms. Eisberg said yes and indicated that staff added a few parking spaces for those coming to check out the facility or potentially caretakers who would be dropping off their family members, estimating about up to 25 parking spaces. Noting that there are at least two owners in this building, Commissioner Balch inquired if there was a CC&R plan or a PUD on this building for a condominium split. Mr. Weinstein replied that as far as staff knows, there is no division of parking spaces and all the spaces are shared. He noted that when staff went on a site visit, there was some indication that some of the parking spaces had been painted with the names of old tenants who are no longer there, but staff does not believe there is an agreement that covers a parking division. Commissioner O'Connor asked staff, for the record, what the ramifications are regarding noise issues or other disturbances that are not quickly or properly handled by a tenant in a building and how the City would deal with it. Mr. Weinstein explained that if a complaint came in, staff would first try and resolve it to the best of their abilities, and if they were not able to resolve it, they would bring it to the Planning Commission. He noted that this process is specified in the Conditions of Approval, which is attached to the staff report as Exhibit A. Commissioner O'Connor verified that additional conditions could be put in place to bring the applicant into compliance, and if the issue is still not resolved, the use could be revoked. Mr. Weinstein replied that was correct. Commissioner O'Connor noted that other issue brought up was liability. He asked Ms. Harryman to explain what the liabilities are on a specific owner in a shared use building or owner building and any common area if the aggrieved party is not their tenant. Ms. Harryman replied that she does not know how the property is broken up or if there is common space, but if the accident occurred on common space, it is more likely that EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES, February 25, 2015 Page 4 of 8
