permitted public weekend parking. He further stated that he will support the lower parking requirement and will agree to the deferred in-lieu fees until the parking situation is resolved. Commissioner Wright stated that he is in favor of the deferred parking fees because he does not want to change the code. He also pointed out that a part of the condition relating to the parking was predicated on the City Council reviewing the parking code. He agrees that the applicant should be given some sort of credit since they were prevented by the City to have any on-street parking. He asked Mr. Iserson for suggestions on how the condition could be modified. Mr. Iserson stated that the condition, as written, simply states that the applicant should continue to pursue additional parking options. He suggested that the Planning Commission be more specific. Commissioner Barker suggested modifying the condition in away that would allow the applicant to have on-street parking. Mr. Iserson felt that would be difficult because staff has tried very hard to do that and it all boils down to what is realistic from a traffic point of view. Mr. Higdon offered to review the situation with Mr. van Gelder again. A motion was made by Commissioner Barker, seconded by Commissioner Wright, recommending that the Commission recommend approval of the draft Negative Declaration, making the finding that the project has a de minimis impact on the site's wildlife, and recommending approval of RZ-98-O1/Z-98-19, subject to the Conditions listed in Exhibit "B", except with the following modifications: 1. That on-street parking be reconsidered for the project; 2. Condition 9 -all wording after Exhibit "A" shall be deleted; 3. The applicant shall be allowed to work with staff on the redesign of the windows.

MATTERS INITIATED BY COMMISSION MEMBERS Commissioner Barker noted for the record that she has been hearing complaints relating to the size of compact parking stalls. She specifically stated that people are complaining that the stalls are so close, that it's difficult to get in and out of their cars or to load and unload them. She asked staff to take another look at the code to see if anything can be done to improve the situation. Planning Commission Page 25 April 8, 1998
