01 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> 2 MARCH 16 , 1993 <br /> 3 PAGE 7 <br /> 4 <br /> 5 Commissioner Franzese requested that the City Manager clarify <br /> 6 the statement that the Planning Commission had observed that <br /> 7 the situation has taken care of itself and that most blatant <br /> 8 examples of parking violations have disappeared . She felt a <br /> 9 more accurate statement would have been that the City Manager <br /> 10 had advised the Planning Commission that most of the problems <br /> 11 have taken care of themselves . <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Commissioner Murphy recalled that this matter had been tabled <br /> 14 by the Planning Commission until the results of a community <br /> 15 survey were available . <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Urbia advised that the survey concentrated on the future needs <br /> 18 of a community center and some other issues but did not <br /> 19 include anything on a parking ordinance . He noted that if a <br /> 20 second survey had been commissioned it may have included <br /> 21 questions regarding a parking ordinance . At this point in <br /> 22 time, a second survey has not been approved . <br /> 23 <br /> 24 Chair Faust felt it would be fruitless to move forward on this <br /> 25 matter without City Council direction . He suggested it is a <br /> 06 dead issue. <br /> 7 <br /> 28 Commissioner Franzese felt the impetus to back off this issue <br /> 29 came from the City Council to the City Manager . <br /> 30 <br /> 31 8 .
