building and do not need a large amount of parking, they will have one
handicap stall in front of Suite E and will add a ramp, there is an
extra bathroom, if it would help to get the square footage closer to
850 SF the landlord could designate this bathroom for the deli. They
expect the deli's customers to be tenants/ visitors of --the building, do
not expect people to drive to the deli; their parking survey indicated
10-15 spaces are regularly unused, there was a trucking company which
parked trucks at the rear, those spaces are unused now; the 10' x 17'
spaces were to code when put in, have always been there.
There were no audience comments and the public hearing was closed.
C. Deal found the size of the deli is not too small for the area, there
is no need to add the restroom to increase square footage. Regarding
the parking variance, not many people will drive to this deli, can see
no problem with parking. C. Deal moved for approval of the special
permit and parking variance by resolution with the following
conditions: (1) that the project shall be built as shown on the plans

shall receive the appropriate sign permit from the Planning Department
and/or Planning Commission; and (6) that the project shall meet all the
requirements of the Uniform Building and Uniform Fire Codes as amended

Motion was seconded by C. Galligan. Comment on the motion: it is
unusual to see a building totally rented in the M-1 zone, do not need
to worry about growth, can see no problem with parking; this proposal
will not expand an existing use, it will be taking away some people who
are working there, there could be more people on site with an office
use.

advised.
