TRUST. 3425 SHORELINE DRIVE, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN REVIEW - Continued) Evans questioned whether the parking ratios as laid out were accurate. Rahn stated that the plan doesn't reflect w'hat’s precisely required for parking and landscaping to determine whether these are adequate and requested funner information. Evans noted that stafThas merely estimated a reduction of 1 1 spaces to allow’ for green space. He reiterated that 94 spaces below, and 53 spaces above for a total of 147 spaces is what IS required by zoning ordinance. Acting Chair Mabusth maintained that a further detailed study would need to be provided to determine specific amounts, which would enable the Commissicn to base its judgment. While not uncommon for commercial pioperty, Gundlach recognized that a parking variance may be required, especially, m light of the differences m the hours of operation of all the individual businesses on site. Although a parking variance might be four^ acceptable now, Evans encouraged the Commission to consider what the future use of this site m.ight be. For instance, if used as retail the site might require even more additional parking. He nuinuincd that, when he and his neighbors purchased their hones, there wp„s simply a howling alley with limited use which resided at this location, he never would have imagined a full liquor licensed restaurant use would move in next door. As the next door neighbor most affected, Bertagnoli a.s'iccd where the venting for the restaurant w’ould be. Keaveny stated that he would work with the franchisee and the City cn the ventilation and air conditioning placement.
