George Thomas, Chief Building Official, advised that the Building Codes look at an <br />equal number of men and women, from 1 to 1 5, which would require separate sex <br />facilities as a prescriptive requirement. The posting of occupancy requirements must be <br />posted. <br />Mr. Iserson noted that with respect to the bathroom requirement, it was actually a 60-day <br />time limit for the applicant to contact the City Building and Fire Departments. In <br />addition, he must obtain the building and other City permits. <br />Mr. Sim agreed to those conditions. <br />Commissioner Sedlak did not believe there was enough parking, given the number of <br />businesses in the shopping center, and cited the karate school on Main Street near the <br />Veterans' Building. He noted that there were often more than 30 people inside and <br />outside the school at any one time. He did not believe that carpooling could be assured, <br />and inquired whether there would be enough parking. <br />Mr. lserson believed there would be suf£cient parking due to the smaller size of this <br />facility, and noted that carpooling from the same neighborhoods was common. In <br />addition, the children tended to be dropped off at the begir~ning of class, and would be <br />picked up later. The adult classes would occur in the evening, when the other businesses <br />were closed. Given the timing, staff was comfortable with the parking situation. In <br />addition, the applicant has operated for several months, and the other tenants had not <br />complained about the parking. <br />Commissioner Roberts noted that a condition could be added to return the matter to the <br />Planning Commission should a problem arise. <br />In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Kameny, Mr. Thomas described the Code <br />requirements for separate-sex and unisex bathrooms. <br />THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. <br />Commissioner Rob¢rts moved to approve PCUP-80 per the conditions of the staff <br />r¢port_ <br />Commissioner Maas seconded the motion. <br />ROLL CALL VOTE <br />AYES: Commissioners Arkin, Maas, Kameny, Roberts, and Sedlak <br />NOES.
