Zoning for the property i~ C-C (Central Commercial) Civic Overlav District Consider Adoption of Negative Declaration Mr. Harris presented his report (SR 84:273) dated May 14, 1984, regarding this matter. Mayor Mercer declared the public hearing open on the application and the negative declaration. Mr. William Hirst, 147 Bernal Avenue, applicant for the project, stated he concurs with the staff report except for a portion of Condition 13 which he did not feel accurately reflect the action taken by the Planning Commission. He stated that Plan- ning Commission did not require the applicant to obtain a reciprioc~lparking easement with the first phase. He stated that negotiations are pending for the parking easement and he did not know at this time when it would be completed. He requested this matter be considered at the time Phase II is ready for construction. Mr. Harris stated staff is concerned that parking be integrated on Phase I and Phase II, and he felt a formalized agreement should be obtained, and recommended that Council require this be done. Mr. Hirst requested that Council not hold up approval of the application until the recipriocal agreement is provided. He stated he did not expect any difficulty in obtaining the easement but felt it unfair to hold up the project for this condition. No one in the audience spoke in opposition to this item. There being no further testimony, Mayor Mercer declared the public hearing closed on the application and the negative declaration.
