The sources of financing for the project, and their implications for the income levels of households living in these units, are not issues relevant to the discussion of the development review. Action by the Planning Commission: On July 16, 1997, the Planning Commission, in Resolution 514-97, recommended approval of the development review, and approved a variance in the parking ratios to allow a ratio of 1.0 spaces/unit for covered parking and 1.15 spaces/unit for surface parking to be used. The ratio in the ZIning Code is 1.0 spaces/unit for covered parking and 1.5 spaces/unit for surface parking. The applicant has shown there is sufficient area on the site to build the additional 19 spaces needed to meet the full ratio for surface parking (i.e. proof of parking).
