Ms. Pearthree indicated that the code required 19 spaces and they are providing 32 spaces. Mr. Kemmerly added that the parking spaces are numbered; when each buyer comes in to contract they will be assigned a parking space which is consistent with other projects they have done. Councilmember Salas expressed concern about only having three spaces for the restaurant. Mr. Kemmerly stated that the operator of the commercial space would have the parking spaces time limited and the business is set up as a grab and go operation. They also have a dedicated two-lane alley for vehicular access. Councilmember Odegaard asked how many bedrooms are included in the development. Ms. Pearthree stated that there are 52 total beds. Councilmember Odegaard also expressed concern about the parking with only 32 spaces being provided for 52 beds. Ms. Pearthree acknowledged the concern and stated that the development meets the requirements of the transect zone. Councilmember Aslan also expressed concern about the parking and indicated tht he is not certain that the building is appropriate for the space. Vice Mayor Shimoni indicated support for the project stating that it has a good room breakdown and it is a good example of infill. He too has concerns about the parking but is hopeful that the location will lend itself to walking, biking, and public transportation. He asked about bicycle parking. Mr. Kemmerly stated that there is surface bike parking outside the building that is geared towards visitors. They will be providing interior bike parking that is secured for residents. Councilmember Odegaard asked if there will be regulations against short-term rentals to which Mr. Kemmerly responded yes, there will be a 30-day minimum rental requirement. |
