,o File -� -- r FROM Ron Cameron, Traffic Engineer � DATE July 21J 1980 sue�ecr 1908 Paci fic Parking Variance ��.Y or cv��eTT, evcr��Tr wAs��N�TON The attached letter and sketch shows the Bentec Developments request for a parking variance at 1908 Pacific. There are two additional comments in this memo following the earlier comments to the BOA and made in response to Marc Shend3 request: 1. The "South of Pacz .`;.-" neighborhood has had history of parkin,. � . �i�i±'ms as various sin- gle family buildi�+'c<. 'r�;.:e been converted to offices, multiple 3wei�ing residences, etc. The result has been a substantial deficit in total area parking spaces compounded by the CBD growth across Pacific. Parking has been restricted to permits for residences only following public hearings, community involvement, etc. There is no possible exception for parking requirements in this neighborhood. Any variance approved by the City would be ron- tradictory to policy and action developed by the Mayor and Council with the neighborhood through the past three years. There should be NO parking variances approved in this neighborhood. 2. The drawing showing 45 degree with four angle Etalls and a fifth stall off th.e aisle is not in conflict with design guidelines published in the Traffic Engineering Hand- book and P,ark'na P �ns3p3€s.• it is exactly equal to the aisle width minimum of 20 feet , and stall width minimum of 17.5 feet. Minimum width 90 degree parking is some- times squeezed to 90 feet from the 42-43' minimum. The 90 degree proposal should not be approved .
