• Option 2: This option provides a total of 27 parking spaces (one van <br /> accessible, one accessible and 25 standard size parking spaces). The existing <br /> parking spaces and striping would be modified to provide two accessible <br /> parking spaces. The new parking lot configuration is similar to Option 1 but <br /> pushes the new parking lot away from the adjacent single-family home. A <br /> vehicle turnaround would be provided at the end of the parking lot to prevent a <br /> dead-end. This option would require the removal of three trees. The existing <br /> width of the park and useable area would be reduced to accommodate the <br /> new parking lot. <br /> • Option 3: This option provides a total of 22 parking spaces (one van accessible <br /> and 21 standard size parking spaces). The existing parking spaces and striping <br /> would be modified to provide one accessible parking space. The new parking <br /> lot configuration places the parking behind the Century House, parallel to the <br /> street, and furthest away from Tanager Drive. A pedestrian access from the <br /> parking lot to the existing rear patio is provided, as is a vehicle turnaround at <br /> the end. This option would require the removal of five trees. The existing width <br /> of the of the park would be maintained but the depth of the park would be <br /> reduced by approximately 40 feet to accommodate the new parking lot. <br /> • Option 4: This option provides a total of 39 parking spaces (one van accessible, <br /> one accessible and 37 standard size parking spaces). The existing parking <br /> spaces and striping would be modified to provide two accessible parking <br /> spaces. The new parking lot configuration is similar to Option 3 and adds an <br /> additional row of parking to provide a double-loaded parking configuration. A <br /> pedestrian access from the parking lot to the existing rear patio is provided <br /> and a vehicle turnaround at the end to prevent a dead-end. This option would <br /> require the removal of five trees. The existing width of the of the park would <br /> be maintained but the depth of the park would be reduced by approximately <br /> 60 feet to accommodate the new parking lot. <br /> Four members of the public spoke on the item during the public comment period <br /> expressing their support to renovate and reopen the Century House while preserving <br /> the neighborhood park as it is used extensively by the neighborhood. Two of the public <br /> speakers requested Option 3 be revised to extend the parking area north/south to not <br /> create "island areas" and align the new parking with the adjacent single-family <br /> residential rear fence lines. Another public speaker requested the City explore shared <br /> parking with the office properties on the opposite side of Santa Rita Road. <br /> After hearing the public speakers and discussion among the commission, the <br /> commissioners preferred Site Plan Option 4, which maximizes the number of parking <br /> spaces and places an outbuilding at the rear of the Century House and convert the <br /> easternmost approximately 60 feet of the park to a parking area. <br /> Page 5 of 9 <br />
