adoption of "No Parking" zone on a portion of Hillcrest Drive (1320 - 1342
Hillcrest Drive); and the recommendation will be going to the City Council at
their regular meeting of August 28, 1990. Doreen Liberto - Blanck stated that the
Staff Advisory Committee recommends that the parking strip be deleted, and
mitigation measure #1 be modified to read:
"Applicants will provide two additional off - street guest parking spaces
per residence (1320 and 1342 Hillcrest Drive), in addition to on -site
parking requirements."
It was further recommended that mitigation measure #2 be deleted as
recommended by the Public Works Department; that the Planning Commission
recommend that the City Council approve amended Parcel Map Case No. 87 -444
subject to the conditions of approval, and adopt a Negative Declaration with
mitigation measures.
Upon being assured by the Commission Clerk that public hearing for Amended
Parcel Map Case No. 87 -444 had been duly published and property owners notified,
Chairman Carr declared the hearing open.
Don Dennison, 1353 Hillcrest Drive; Joe Zdana, 1341 Hillcrest Drive; and
Kurt Glenn, 1315 Hillcrest Drive spoke against the parking strip. Kim Hughes,
property owner spoke against condition # 7.
John Keen, Parking and Traffic Commissioner for the City Arroyo Grande,
stated that the reason the Parking and Traffic Commission passed the "No Parking"
resolution, was because the Parking and Traffic Commission understood that the
Planning Commission would not approve Amended Parcel Map Case No. 87 -444 without
the "No Parking" zone in front of 1320 and 1342 Hillcrest Drive.
Hearing no further comments for or against the amended parcel map, Chairman
Carr declared the public hearing closed.
Planning Director Liberto - Blanck stated the General Condition #7 had been
acted on by the Parking and Traffic Commission on August 20, 1990, and that the
Planning Commission could consider a "No Parking" zone at 1320 and 1342 Hillcrest
or include it as a recommendation. The Planning Commission agreed to delete
condition #7, and did not want to make a recommendation regarding a "No Parking"
zone.
