The petitioner, Rick Corso, stated parking space relief is needed on Anita Road, not
on Peninsula. Cars from out of town (San Mateo, airport users, etc.) are being parked
for extended time periods preventing customers aod neighbors from parking there.
Their business has 75-80 visitors a day with few parking spaces available to them.

with the neighbors to alleviate problems. Mr. Corso suggested also adding a loading
zone and would buy the parking meterS for the City if they were installed. This will
be a Discussion item next month.
