Beaudin: Yeah, we're calling it temporary because half of it is actually owned by the railroad so we need to find a better solution, longer term, or come to some agreement with the railroad. But I'm calling it temporary for the time being because we own half of it, and it's not real pavement. We didn't go through the refinishing process we would have with landscaping and those types of things because we need to find a better long- term solution. Chair Ritter: So to get more on -site parking, you would either have to go up or eliminate some units. I guess those are the two options? Deutscher: So if you guys were considering more guest spaces, is there a major number for the number of guest spaces that would be required on a site like this beyond the 7 that are on the street? I think there is a parking measure where it's limited to maybe two hours for parking on St. John Street. That would prevent someone from parking there all day long. We would be open to that suggestion and definitely the CC &Rs would require each homeowner to occupy two parked cars in their garages. Many associations do that and if there is a violation, they assign violation fees. So we would be open to implementing something like that in the CC &Rs as well. But the last resort is to remove any units. Commissioner O'Connor: I'm assuming there's no contemplation as a rental project. This is an all for sale project? Deutscher: Correct. Commissioner Allen: Can I ask a question since we're all on parking, can you refresh us on apartments? You had asked what the standard was for guest parking. We have a standard for apartments and what is that ratio? This is not to say this is an apartment, but just for apartments, what is our standard that we have? Amos: Again, it depends. It's based on the number of bedrooms. So if you have two bedrooms then you have to have one and one -half parking space in a core overlay district. It'd be something like one space and one and one -half space if you're having a guest. Weinstein: Just to clarify too, small projects in the core area overlay, or Tess than ten units in the core area overlay, have no guest parking requirement if you're talking about apartments. So I just wanted to clarify that. Commissioner Nagler: But it's actually an interesting question, thank you. So if the apartment standard wasn't in the overlay district, we'd be talking about two guest parking spots, right? Commissioner O'Connor: One per seven units, so it would require two spaces. Deutscher: The other design solution just to throw it out there is just the current parking requirement is one covered and one uncovered. You could do a one -car garage enclosed and then have the other space next to the garage as kind of a carport and that could be open for the residents' guests to park there versus the residents parking two EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 23, 2016 Page 5 of 18
