Hottel, 7854 Applewood Way, for a Zoning Permit to allow conversion of existing garage into bedrooms, and to review location of new parking spaces. Mr. Castro explained he had talked with Mr. Blackwell, (of Schulte Blackwell) who presently has jurisdiction over Unit 3 in respect to modifications of houses. There was considerable discussion about possible drainage problems related to the existing grading of the property, if the pro- posal were approved. Chairman Antonini explained such a conversion was allowed on a corner lot if entrance were provided from a side street. Mr. Hottel ex- plained that entrance from Las Positas was not possible because the right-of-way belonged to the City. Discussion ensued on the error of the real estate report, which Mr. Castro explained was based on the final map. The meaning of space, as interpreted by the Ordinance, was also questioned as to meaning "covered" space or simply parking space. The Commission indicated their interpretation to be "covered" space. UPON MOTION OF COMMISSIONER GARRIGAN, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER PLATO, AND CARRIED, IT WAS DETERMINED TO CONTINUE Z-68-1 ~0 THE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14th, SO THE APPLICANT COULD SUBMIT NEW PLANS SHOWING PROPOSED LOCATION OF GARAGE AND DRIVEWAY. 5. PUBLIC HEARINGS Section 9104.4a - Discussed, but remained unchanged. Chart, page 20 and 20a. Mr. Castro explained that the Council had asked the Commission to review this section, specifically the rear yard setbacks of multiple dwellings abutting single family homes. Mr. Rega emphasized the importance of the Commission considering the section before it went to Council, so it would not be referred back. Mr. Struthers indicated that language changes are not mandatory referrals back to the Commission; the Council has full power. Mr. Rega felt the minimum rear yard setback should be more than 25 feet, as the Cammission could easily decrease it, but not increase it. Mr. Plato stated that the new Ordinance should eliminate Variances, and therefore minimums should not be set too high. Section 9.104 - Change Section 24.106 to Sec. 24.105. Section 9.104.2 - Third line, change extra-active to extractive. Section 15.103a r In line "Parking space dimension, parallel to aisle, chan e 8'7" to 9'.
