Mr. Mercer stated that the City is proud of the Chamber of Commerce and thanked Ms. Mayhew for everything the Chamber of Commerce has done for the City. 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS Item 6a Approval of In-Lieu Parkinq Agreement with James and Jo Betty Allen for a Development at 480 St. John Street The City Attorney presented a report (SR 89:513) regarding the matter. Mr. Mercer declared the public hearing open on the application. Dr. Howard Long, 363 St. Marys Street, stated that he owns property adjacent to the applicants' property and inquired if the In-Lieu Agreement would supply more or less parking to the applicant and the surrounding businesses. Mr. Mercer explained that the In-Lieu Agreement would provide less spaces, but the applicants would pay the City the amount equivalent to the cost of building those spaces at the time the parking spaces are required. Dr. Long mentioned that the Downtown Redevelopment Plan once considered having a parking structure at a site which would include part of property where he has had his medical office for the past 30 years. He inquired what impact, if any, the present application would have on the proposed parking structure. Mr. Mercer answered that the parking structure was taken out of the Downtown Redevelopment Plan and that the Plan failed in the ballot of June 1989. The City has the Downtown Specific Plan, but this Plan does not include the parking structure either. There being no further testimony, Mr. Mercer declared the public hearing closed. It was moved by Mr. Brandes, and seconded by Ms. Mohr, that Resolution No. 89-520 be adopted, approving the In-Lieu Parking Agreement with James and Jo Betty Allen for a development at 480 St. John Street.
