She again noted that all the churches in St. Anthony have parking and lot 8 coverage problems. 9 Commissioner Horst questioned how this amendment would change the parking situation. 10 Ms. Moore-Sykes explained that this amendment would allow for bigger parking lots as the 11 parking lot would not be considered as part of the lot coverage. 12 There was Commission consensus that the concept of the proposed amendment was good. 13 There was concern about the impervious surface and the terms of building to land lot coverage and lot coverage being used in the same paragraph.
