The City Engineer stated he had some problems with that suggestion. Caltrans has done a survey of the area and feels it is not warranted and the city could not assume the liability for the removal of the signs. l~~ Page Four tity Council Minutes May 25, 1982 BUSINESS ITEMS 51. Waiver of Parking Requirements Request Mr. Morrissey gave background information on the request based on a report dated May 20, 1982, recommending approval of the use subject to the payment of $13,230.00 to the Redevelopment Agency/City Council to be placed in a fund for the improvement of parking lots. ,. Mr. Porter stated he would like to look into this matter further. Mr. Porter felt there may be a problem with collecting of fees for this purpose since the ordinance did not specifically allow it. Mr. Torn stated that he would like the downtown section re- vitalized but that by charging a fee for parking would scare some potential businesses away. ~ ~ ~ .~ o ~ Discussion was led on the possibility of an assessment district for parking in the downtown section. Mr. Porter reported that under the present ordinance, it would not be possible. Mr. Robert Cavella, applicant, stated he expects to have between 40 and 60 percent of walk-in business. Mr. Cavella would prefer not to pay the $13,230 at this time, but feels that an annual fee,would be more workable. ~ MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY KNIGHT TO APPROVE IN CONCEPT THE WAIVER OF PARKING REQUIREMENTS SUBJECT TO THE ATTORNEY'S POSSIBLE MODIFICATION OF EXISTING ORDINANCE AND RECOGNIZATION ON THE PART OF THE APPLICANT THAT THE PARKING FEES WILL BE A MINIMUM OF $13,230.00.

This is only a suggestion for the structure of the proposed ordinance. Nancy Shaffer, asked additional questions on the parking requirements for restaurants. Ms. Shaffer felt that only one space per three patrons should be required. MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY KNIGHT AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO AMEND THE ORIGINAL MOTION TO INCLUDE A FINDING BY THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THE ADDITIONAL PARKING REQUIREMENTS WOULD BE 27 SPACES AND THAT THE DOLLAR FIGURE $13,230 BE AMENDED TO COMPUTE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR 27 SPACES AT THE $1.10 PER SQUARE FOOT. Mr. Morrissey reported that he has analyzed that 44 spaces should be required. Mr. Torn stated that staff should subtract the number of spaces that should be required if they were to continue the dime store use from the amount now required. Mr. Porter suggested that instead of pinning staff down to a specific number of spaces that the -number of spaces required for the dime store use should be used. 52: Chamber of Commerce Request ~ Mr. Rede reported the Chamber of Commerce would like to review all vendors taking out a business license to work in the area over Frontier Days.
