and 18 61.(K~6•O50
2, That waiver (a), minimum structural setback abutting a local street, is hereby approved on
the basis that. there are special circumstanccs applicable lo the propcrry consisting of its location and
surroundings, which do not apply to othcr identically zoncd properties in the vicinity;
3, That waiver (a) is hercby approved on the basis that strict application of the 'l.oning Code
deprives the property of privilcges cnjoyed by othcr propcrties under identical zoning classification in the
vicinity becausc strict application woald deny the property of the ability to improve the cxterior [acades with
architeclural embcllishments which will not add (loor arca to the building;
4. That waiver (b), minimum numbcr of parking spaces, is hereby approved because the
numbcr of proposed spaces has bcen substantiateJ by a parking sludy preparcd by a rcgistercd traffic
cn~inecr (KatG Okitsu & Associates); and that the City Traffic and Transportation Managcr has rcviewed
the study and determined that thc parking supply is adcquate [or thc projcct as designcd;
5. That thc parking study indicatcs that the parking dcmand for off-street parking spaccs is
lowcr than thc quantiry providcd on all thc parccls; and that although [hcre is a comfartablc surplus on all
~,arcels cxccpt Parccl 1, howcvcr additional stalls can bc providcd by striping along the wcsl property linc and
this arca is alrcady uscd for parking on an in[ormal basis;
~, That thcre is a modest demand for omstrect parking in thc project arca; however, such
vchicles can bc accommodatcd readily in off-stree! parking arcas;
7. Thal thc proposcd projcct will not causc any signiGcant dcmand for on-strcet parking
spaces; howevcr, limitcd on-strcet parking will likcly continue due to convenicncc unless on-s[rcct parking is
prohibited;
8. That the proposcd projcct will not causc any demand for parking on private propcrty in the
vicinity and an adcquale supply of parking is providcd on cach parccl, and all parcel-related parking is
cxpcctcd to occur on cach individual parcel;
9, That the amount of parking dcmanJ forccast [or cach parccl is well within thc supply
provided on each parccl; and that traffic and parking congcstion will not occur because thc overall demand
[or parking at thc projcct is lowcr than the amount of parkin6 proviJcd; and that a surplus of parking spaces
is cxpccted to cxist on the project site at all timcs;
10. That thc proposed projccl will not impcdc vchicular ingress or egress bccause the project is
not always expected to result in increascd demand for on-strcet parking in the vicinity of any driveways or
other locations in the projcct vicinity; and that sight lines and turning areas for existing driveways at public
strcets will bc unaffected by parking for the proposed project; and
11. That no one indicated their presence at said public hearing in opposition; and that no
correspondence was reccived in opposition ~o subject pctition.
