P.C. Resolution No. 439
"EXHIBIT A"
It was the findings of the Planning Commission that Section 12.14.020,
General Parking Requirements, should be amended as the reasons for
provisions are unclear and there is inconsistency when provision is
applied to one and two dwelling units in RM zones. This condition
became apparent to the staff when the "LaGracia" and "Sammons" sub-
divisions were developed. The zoning code, when applied to RML zones
does not allow parking in the setbacks but in all RM zones all parking
is allowed within the setbacks. It was also determined that provisions
for landscaping for said areas are needed.
"EXHIBIT B"
Amended section should read as follows:
Section 12.14.020 - General Parking Requirements - Each off-street
parking space shall have a net area of not less than two
hundred square feet exclusive of driveways or aisles, and shall
be of usable shape and condition; to determine on a gross area
basis, three hundred square feet shall be allowed per vehicle.
Statement which was deleted from above section:
"If the required parking space for a one or two family dwelling
is not provided in a covered garage, then such space shall be
not less than two hundred square feet, and shall be so located
and/or constructed that it may later be covered by a garage
structure in accordance with the provisions of this zoning code
and the city building code."
