The Zoning Administrator opened the public hearing. The project applicant, Richard Rengal, spoke representing the property owner. Mr. Rengel stated that he and the property owner read the conditions of approval and had no problems with the conditions. He stated he was available to respond to questions as needed. Arnold Surfas spoke in opposition to the project proposal. Mr. Surfas is a neighboring business owner, and stated overflow parking from the proposed project may impact his business parking. He also did not believe that the proposed two-story building is compatible with the area. The Zoning Administrator closed the public hearing. Amy Stonich responded that the number of parking stalls for the proposed project has been maximized to the greatest extent possible. She additionally commented that the building height is compatible, due to the second floor being used as office space.
