Fifteen spaces are provided but the applicant had indicated he was willing to keep the building to a maximum of 4,500 square feet and within the parking requirements. Staff noted that this item was related to the request for alley abandonment from Mr. Wills and Mr. Perfit to be considered later in the agenda. The single parking space requested for waiver by this variance would be provided upon vacation of the 10 ft. by 60 ft. strip to Mr. Wills. Mr. Hoesterey questioned staff regarding the ratio of co~act parking spaces at 53% instead of 20%. Mr. Brotemarkle responded the 20% limit on co~act was a resolution, not a code requirement and the Agency has allowed greater use of con~act spaces within structures as opposed to uncontrolled parking lots. The spaces were various widths of 7'6", 8', 9', 10' and 14', ~ich averaged to the minimum requirements. This was done to accommodate the supports for the office structure above. Chairman Edgar questioned staff regarding building height. Mr. Brotemarkle stated the peak height was 44 ft., about a foot lower than the adjacent Blanco building; however, the Spanish motiff made use of a gable roof style for the tile, reducing the "C" Street elevation to under 40 ft. Chairman Edgar opened the Public Hearing at 3:20 p.m. Dr. Walter Flaherty, 190 E1 Camino, asked if abandonment of the alley would prohibit Mr. Perfit's tenants from storing vehicles behind 170 E1Camino. Mr. Brotemarkle indicated he would still have access to the rear of that lot across the alley on the property he owns at 180 E1Camino. However, Mr. Wills's proposed project would be separated from the alley by a wall. The Public Hearing was closed at 3:24 p.m. Mr. Hoesterey moved denial of Variance 82-9 based on inadequate parking. Mr. Greinke seconded stating he felt the project was overdevelopment of the property and he would prefer a more appropriate design. After Agency and staff discussion regarding the size of the building and parking space size, the Agency's approval of the architectural theme, and abandonment of the alley, Mr. Greinke offered a substitute Planning Agency Ninutes September 7, 1982 Page 4 motion to continue the Public Hearing and consider a new design.

ALLEY VACATION & ABANDONMENT Location: Alley right-of-way between E1 Camino Real & "C" Street After presentation of the staff report the Agency and staff discussed vacation of the alley as opposed to sale of the property. Mr. Rourke stated the City was not allowed to sell the property, which had been dedicated with no reimbursement to the original owner. Chairman Edgar questioned if vacation of the alley was an appropriate legal action to take before approving the project which requested the vacation. Mr. Rourke stated it was. Mr. Greinke moved to continue this item. Mr. Hoesterey seconded in light of their continuance of the variance request. Walter Flaherty, questioned what affect the abandonment would have on his property. Chairman Edgar stated that if the alley was totally abandoned, the portion adjoining Mr. Fl aherty's property would be returned to his parcel. He was in support of abandonment since that was the reason for putting the sewer line over to "C" Street. Mr. Robert Wills spoke is opposition to continuance stating his project (Variance 82-9) depended on the Agency's decision regarding the alley. The single space requested for waiver is proposed to be provided in the area of the alley. Mr. Greinke withdrew his motion for continuance and offered.a substitute motion to approve the vacation and abadonment of the alley. Mr. Hoesterey seconded.
