Commission seeks clarity on shared parking, lot‑line adjustments and prior entitlements
Summary
Commissioners asked staff whether parking relies on shared spaces on the adjacent Avenue Heights Apartments parcel, whether park‑fee credits apply to the prior open‑space/basketball court, and what lot‑line or map changes would be required; staff said these entitlement and legal questions will be revisited with the formal application.
Commissioners pressed staff for details about parking, lot configuration and whether the project depends on converting previously approved open space. Chair Reese and other commissioners asked whether any park‑fee credits exist for the adjacent development's basketball court and open space that the applicant intends to use for parking or general site functionality.
Staff said the Avenue Heights Apartments entitlement previously included required open space approved by Council and that any proposal to use that area for the mixed‑use project would require reconsideration and may involve a lot‑line adjustment or parcel map. "That is part of what would need to be reconsidered," staff said, adding the question will be resolved during formal application review and with city‑attorney consultation.
Commissioners also highlighted the practical implications of shared parking, the prevalence of tandem spaces (24 of 49 spaces are proposed as tandem), and the need to document legal access and maintenance agreements if the project relies on spaces on a different parcel.
