Item No. 2 Ong Parking Waiver (PA2009 -059)

conversion of 3,061 square -feet of retail space to medical office in an existing multi -
tenant building. The applicant requests a waiver of three parking spaces.
The parking study submitted with this application lacked sufficient detail on
utilization of on- street and off - street public parking on which to base a
recommendation. Staff recommended a continuation to allow the parking
consultant time to revise the parking study.
This item was continued to 12/3/2009 at commissioner's request. (All Ayes)
Item No. 3 Moriarty Residence (PA2008 -207)
2128 Mesa Drive
Summary: An appeal by the applicant, Richard Moriarty, of the Zoning Administrator approval
of a parcel map to consolidate existing portions of lots and parcels into a single
parcel of land for single - family development. The applicant requests relief from
conditions of approval relating to Coastal Commission approval and the
ingress/egress access easement.
The applicant requested an additional continuation with the expectation that all
parties involved in negotiations related to the access easement would soon reach
an agreement. Although Planning Commissioners were initially reluctant to grant
another continuance, after testimony from the applicant's representatives and from
the City's Public Works staff as to significant progress in the negotiations, and after
reviewing terms of the tentative agreement, they agreed to the continuance.
