Chairman Sharp expressed concern about the non-conforming center

requested that staff research the possibility of using redevelopment
funds, if appropriate, to help defray the cost of reconstructing the
nearby intersection, and therefore allow relocation of the sign and
reduce the degree of non-conformance.

After presentation of the staff report, and staff and Commission
discussion regarding signs, parking and landscaping, Chairman Sharp
opened the Public Hearing at 8:02 p.m. Seeing no one wishing to speak
on the item, Chairman Sharp closed the Public Hearing at 8:02 p.m.
Mr. Ainslie mentioned he had experienced parking problems in the area
and asked if anything could be done to alleviate them. Staff replied
that the problems were in part caused by nighttime and weekend
activities which staff was currently investigating. As the complex
meets code, staff was looking into the possibility of restriping the
parking lot to provide a greater percentage of compact spaces and
therefore more total spaces. The uses holding nighttime and weekend
activities would be asked to require their patrons to use parking
provided on-site and not street parking.
Moved by Mrs. Weil, seconded by Mr. Ainslie, adoption of Resolution No.
2076 recommending to the City Council approval of Tentative Parcel Map
