parking space credit should not be granted, then the applicant would be required to pay in -lieu fees for three more parking spaces. Commissioner Ritter moved to find that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15332, In -fill Development Projects, Class 32, and would not have a significant effect on the environment; to make the PUD findings for the proposed Development Plan as listed in the staff report, and to recommend approval of Case PUD -109 for a certificate of appropriateness to demolish the existing 910 - square -foot single -story commercial building and for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Rezoning and Development Plan, subject to the Conditions of Approval listed in Exhibit A of the staff report, with the modification that no parking credit be granted for building demolition, thereby requiring in -lieu fee payment for a total of ten spaces, and the installation of an eight -foot tall solid fence in the back of the project site. Commissioner O'Connor stated that the Commission needs to calculate the required number of spaces before the motion can be acted upon. Commissioner Balch stated that he would like to hear Commissioner Piper's initial thoughts. Chair Allen indicated that a motion has been made and that after it is seconded and before a vote is taken, the Commission will have a discussion to hear from the Commissioners who would like to speak. Commissioner O'Connor asked staff to confirm his understanding that the commercial building requires 14 parking spaces, the four residential units require two spaces each equivalent to eight parking spaces, and the apartment requires one parking space, all together requiring a total of 23 parking spaces. He continued that the project, as proposed, currently has only 15 parking spaces and, without any credits in place, the project is short by 10 parking spaces. Mr. Luchini confirmed that was correct. Commissioner Ritter indicated that ten was his number of total parking spaces required for payment of in -lieu parking fees. Ms. Seto stated that this could be based on the language discussed that the Commission could not make that finding based on some of the concerns raised. Ms. Seto inquired if there were any interest in discussing retail uses and if the Commission has some information or options for that as well. Commissioner Ritter indicated that he does not want to over - regulate the project but that if the Commission wanted that added, he would go with it. Chair Allen asked if any of the Commissioners were open discuss the specificity on the retail uses. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, December 9, 2015 Page 28 of 40
