Two conditions were suggested for consideration at the public hearing. Discussion: number of leased parking spaces on the Northpark site; Velvet Turtle parking garage is on property owned by Velvet Turtle, Northpark has exclusive right to the tennis courts on top of that building; parking spaces at the present maintenance facility are considered to be off-site and not counted in meeting the parking requirement for Northpark; impacted on-street parking situation, complaints received about impacted on-�ite parking in the evening; parking requirements at the time Northpark was constructed and present parking requirements. Chm. Graham opened the public hearing. Richard Coxall, applicant, advised Northpark would be willing to terminate the agreement with Mike Harvey for leased parking spaces if desired. There were no audience comments and the public hearing was closed. Commission discussion: 10 space sublease to Chandler will continue, daytime use only up until 5:00 P.M., after which it becomes guest parking; were the six spaces on the north side of the Chandler building included in the original count; condominium application was never completed, hearing notices are sent only to property owners, tenants of Northpark were not noticed; spaces in the complex are Page 4 Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes August 13, 1984 assigned as conveniently as possible and are of standard size; possibility of restriping for compacts, applicant could then meet code at the time of construction but would not meet current code requirements; there is large landscaped area, adding a maintenance facility would not greatly affect aesthetics of the complex; city should have required the maintenance building originally owned by Northpark to be permanently tied to Northpark; difficult to make findings in support of this variance; alternatives have not been explored, do not feel this is the only solution for the applicant; city has a problem with impacted parking in apartment zones, how can Commission allow this variance when it has denied many others; would like the six spaces which would be lost to be replaced; why not put the maintenance building somewhere else rather than underground. C. Giomi moved to deny this parking variance without prejudice. Second C. Garcia; motion approved unanimously on roll call vote. Appeal procedures were advised. 5.
