CITYp� �O^Ft E : Li.ETT sue�ecr 4126 Hoyt - Proposed 16 unit apartment CIIYGPEVEREIY,•lQEREAVJASRIrJGTON complex - parking variance In regards to decreasing the parking snaces required £or this apartr,ient, the Public IVorks Department recommends this variance be denied for the following reasons: 1. Nistorically, this area has had a problem with an insufficient numUer of parking spaces. In a memo dated April 27, 1981, the City Traffic Enpineer listed 25 City involvements with members of tLe ncighborhood and businesses whirh related to parking problems in this specific area. 2. In the past, �:ommunity meetings have been held with neighborhood commitments b}' the residents and businesses to try to reduce parking congestion. IVe feel that it should be the City's responsibility to do their part in reducing the parking congest?on. A parkir.g variance would work in :he opposite direction of alleviating the neighborhood's highest concern. 3. On April 6, 1981 the Board of Adjustments denied a parki�g variance for a project that was half this size at this location. The problems forscen at that time could be double with the approval of a variance. The applicant �ray want to iio a traffic study investigating increased parking U� installing anglr� parking on Noyt Ave. A variance that includes increasing tlic on-street parking so that the total spaces added meets code requirements would not be objected to. � /
