Board Member Köster asked about the ability to build up to 85 units on the site and whether that is hindered by the lack of parking. Staff Member Thomas said a number of factors that affect the number of units. He listed the zoning, Measure A exemptions, and other requirements that apply to the site which they used to arrive at a number. Board Member Köster asked how the low parking ratio at Shinsei Gardens has been working. Ms. Johnson said that when they have meetings at Shinsei Gardens they have to park in the adjoining neighborhood. She said they are okay for day to day but have no extra space for visitors. Board Member Curtis asked if there have been complaints or issues with parking at any of their other properties.
