C. PARRING The third issue of appeel is that inadequate parking is provided on the site. The Appellant states that the number of parkinq spaces required by code is inadequate to provide parkinq for tenants, quests, visitors, etc.; that there is virtunlly no on-street parkinq m Grand Avenue: that existinq multiple family units in the area _se their on-site parking only secondarily to on-street parking; and that the only vay to mitigate the impact is to reduce the numbcr of units permitted on the site. Findinas: Section 19.22.070 of the Zoning Code lists requirements for parking in the R-5 zone. Pnrking requirements for multiple family projects in tha R-5 zone are less than required in any other zone; since the purposa of the zone is to provide for high rise buildinqs near the central business district. The reqvirements ior multiple family units in the R-5 zone are based on the number of bedrooms in ihe units and the number of 'units in the structure. The proposal is for 28 units with ] studio, 9- one bedroom and 16 - two bedroom units. The requireoent for buildinqs with 21 to 50 units is .e speces for each studio apertment, .9 speces for each one bedroom apartment and 1.o space foz eech two bedroom unit.
