Mr. Woodruf stated he had not heard anything about this but had seen these spaces roped off only during th late evening hours. Mr. Jakosky stated he did not see how the City could allow this type of thing to go on for any tenant when the basic concept of the Newport Center is community parking. Mr. Woodruff stated that the City Attorney's office has not had any inquiries or complaints regarding this matter and he is not sure it violates any provisions that the City has and that, obviously, they must have the permission of the Irvine Company. City Engineer Nolan stated that the amount of parking spaces in Fashion Island exceed the code requirements by several hundred spaces. Chairman Jakosky stated further that the same • situation exists at the Sea Food Grotto Restau- rant where they have roped off the entire park- ing lot and the only way to park is the use of Page 9.

Assistant Attorney Woodruff stated that he assumed contact would be made with the operato s of Sea Food Grotto and that both.parking prob- lems are worth looking into,.but he clearly distinguishes between the two. Senior Planner Hawley gave a progress report t the Planning Commission on the Planning Depart- ment's investigation of illegal rental units in R -2 zones and.the methods being considered for abatement of this problem. • Planning Director Wilson advised the Commission that two commissioners would be able to attend the League of California Cities Conference in San Francisco on September 28, 29, 30 and October 1, 1969.
