Variance 82-9
Applicant:
Location:
Request:
Robert V. and Maralys Wills
175 South "C" Street (C-2 District)
Authorization to vary with zoning requirements of the Central
Commercial District, development Standards of the City and
Specific Plan No. 1 in the development of an office building
BACKGROUND
At the September 7, 1982 meeting the Plannig Agency reviewed and received
public testimony on the subject request. Agency members expressed concern
regarding the ratio of compact spaces (53%), size of the building in
proportion to the lot, and location of parking facilities (at-grade). The
Agency voted to continue the public hearing and give the architect an
opportunity to modify the plans.
DI~USSION
The plan has been modified by decreasing the amount of compact spaces to
40% while keeping the same total space count. Many of the Compact spaces
are larger than the minimum size for compacts (8'-0"). However, this size
does satisfy the standard space width.
The 4,500 square foot floor area reflects an adjusted gross calculation.
Exterior walkways, patios and stairways are not counted in this figure.
In addition, the architect has provided a longitudinal cross-section
drawing to aid Agency members in reviewing the merits of the structure.
The architect is proposing horizontal reveal strips along the walls of the
north and south elevations for design relief.
RECOI, IqF. NDED ACTION
Approve Variance 82-9 by the adoption of Resolution No. 2056.
