Waiver of off - street parking to permit erection of second floor over a present existing building. 5. When the applicant originally purchased the property, the original plans called for a two story building with offices and apartment. Since the erection of the present building, the tenant, having a ladies' ready -to -wear business, has been extremely cramped in the working quarters. The dressing rooms are wholly inadequate in size; the office is inadequate; the floor space does not give him the opportunity of properly displaying his merchandise and for sometime, it has been apparent that the applicant might either lose the tenant or be required to provide additional space. Applicant further states that she has abandoned the plans for the apartment and that the granting of this variance, in her opinion, will not involve further parking space for additional customers of the present tenant. • 6. DISCUSSION Considerable discussion was held regarding the reevaluation of the existing parking facilities in the Lido Shops Auto Park No. 3 Inc. which presently has spaces for 107 cars. Submitted to the Commission by the representative of tl;e applicant was a letter dated June 197 1957 addressed to Dr. E.A. Milum, Secretary Lido Auto Parks, Inc. signed by J.W. Hiers, Div. Manager, System Auto Parks., Long Beach, Calif which set forth that a survey had been made of the parking lot in question and that the spaces could be increased by 15 %. 7. FINDINGS The Commission in their findings stated that they would not favor any waiver of off - street parking requirements for this area but believed the application could be approved subject to the condition that a survey be made and the additional spaces provided as required under the zoning ordinance. 8.
