Chair Guglielmo asked staff regarding the project parking.
Mr. Acuna stated that the parking does exceed the parking required by the City. A parking
study has been provided and it does meet the requirements. Since they are targeted for
those 65 years of age or older there will be enough parking for them and for visitors and
staff.
Mr. Ghirelli noted that the Council just passed an ordinance regarding parking districts
throughout the city.
Commissioner Munoz noted that this special facility for senior care doesn’t normally add
additional parking issues.
Mr. Pancake, the applicant, returned and stated that it was targeted for people 65 years of
age but caters to someone that averages 83 years of age. He stated that visitors and staff
will take parking spaces, but that the reality is not many residents will use them.
Commissioner Dopp asked about the employee and guest parking.
Mr. Pancake noted that during holidays it might be busy and possible valet parking could be
used but that the operators, Cadence, would review that.
Commissioner Munoz noted that the senior living facility satisfies our State goals for housing
in the city.
Rosa Ascencio came back to speak to the Commission and added a personal story
regarding additional parking and using the street.
Chairman Guglielmo stated that the applicant has taken steps to meet the parking
requirements and the possible additional requirements during holidays and will discuss
options when the new operators take over.
Mr. Ghirelli stated there can be parking districts established that are required to be approved
by Council.
Commissioner Munoz stated that would only be if a problem arises and is required.
