A requirement of two parking spaces per unit, one in a garage and one in a carport is the current zoning code requirement. No other changes are requested. The Zoning Administrator asked Assistant Planner Perez if there was any discussion in the original approval for intentionally conditioning the project to require a four-car garage. Ms. Perez responded that there is no specific reason given for the requirement. The Zoning Administrator then requested an addition to the decision of the resolution that the resolution supersedes Condominium Conversion No. CC2005-009, which upon vesting of the rights authorized by this Condominium Conversion, shall become null and void. Applicant James Meacham on behalf of both himself and Mr. Sommerdyke stated that he had reviewed the draft resolution and agrees with all of the required conditions. The Zoning Administrator opened the public hearing. Seeing that no one from the public wished to comment, the public hearing was closed.
