<br />Livermore, for a Zoning Permit to allow a 40 foot bus loading zone on both sides
<br />of First Street approximately opposite 4265 First Street; the request was also
<br />for a crosswalk between these two zones. Mr. Castro read a memo from the
<br />Public Works Department indicating the problem of bus traffic circulation.
<br />The report objected to the mid-block crosswalk because of heavy traffic
<br />and large trucks using First Street. The report indicated there should be
<br />an area provided for storage of freight and baggage as well as benches for
<br />seating, The Conm<ission was concerned about sign obstructions when buses
<br />are parked along First Street. Mr. Castro stated a Conditional Use Permit
<br />could be granted for a limited time until a more suitable location is found.

<br />a hardship on the merchants of Pleasant Plaza; particularly the loss of 2 or
<br />3 parking spaces to accommodate the benches and storage of Luggage. The
<br />applicant, Mr. Charles Speake, indicated the current location for the bus depot
<br />was not adequate, and would be occupied by the adjacent drug store as soon

<br />had been exhausted with no success. The Commission asked that the matter be
<br />continued with consent of the applicant to allow more time to study other
<br />possible locations. UPON MOTION OF COMMISSIONER GARRIGAN, SECONDED BY COM-

<br />14 conditions due to violations of the Unsafe Building Ordinance, and 13
