ROLL CALL VOTE AYES: Commissioners Getty, NOES: None ABSENT: Chairman Doherty ABSTAIN: None Lindsey and Vice Chairman Wilson Resolution No. 2473 was entered and adopted recommending approval of case PUD-82-18-5D as motioned. Z-84-126, Hirst/Boatright Application of Downtown Centre II for design review approval of three commercial buildings totalling approximately 16,300 sq. ft. and related facilities on an approximately one acre site at 235 Main Street. Zoning for the property is C-C (Central Commercial)/Civic Overlay District. A negative declaration of environmental impacts will also be considered. Mr. Glenn presented the staff report recommending approval of this project. Since this project is in the Civic Center Overlay, it will go on to City Council for final action. Commissioner Lindsey discussed parking and asked how it would be controlled. Mr. Glenn indicated that this is monitored as tenants come to the City for zoning clearance for their uses. Acting Chairman Wilson asked if staff had taken into consideration the parking problems that have existed on this site in the past. Mr. Glenn indicated that the City has. Mr Glenn indicated that as a project gets larger one gets more benefit of the parking lot. Commissioner Getty indicated that as uses are being expanded for the area, it is nice to think that one drives to the shopping center and walks to more than one business establishment. She indicated that downtown design guidelines are being drafted and one of the strong points is to eliminate driveways coming off of a main thoroughfare. She was not sure that the parking layout and circulation in the shopping center is the best that it could be. She felt that an exit on Bernal Avenue would eliminate a lot of cars from pulliing in and out. She felt that perhaps circulation should be addressed by staff. Mr. Glenn asked if Commissioner Getty was asking about the Edgren house. She indicated she was and felt that this would be advantageous to the circulation system of the center. Mr. Glenn acknowledged that she had a good point. Vice Chairman Wilson asked whether or not the site consisted of two parcels and whether or not the applicant is going to combine them. He expressed concerns with properties being sold with no reciprocal parking agreement. The public hearing was opened. Bill Hirst, 147 Bernal Avenue, addressed Condition No. 2 with one-third being devoted to retail. They acknowledge that this will be the situation and didn't believe they would have any problems meeting the requirements. They anticipate one-half being used for retail uses. -8- __.. __-.____,_____ _ _..__ . _.._ ._ _ ___ r_
