He wanted to continue the design review section for them to revise the plans, then the board could approve at the next meeting. However, he would support if the rest of the board was ready to move forward because he believed it was an excellent project. Board Member Ruiz made a motion to approve the project with these conditions: adding one tree in the parking area (in the south area near possible bike parking), marking the driveway with signage, establishing a 10 pm closure time, restricting the onsite parking to the public, extending the fence along the left property line, and will ask staff to review the lighting plan in detail and maximizing the landscaping. These conditions will be approved by staff and put on the list of approval that will be sent out to the board for review, at which point this item could be pulled for general review. The motion was seconded by Board Member Hom and President Teague called for a roll call vote and the motion passed 6-0 7-C 2020-8216 PLN16-0587- Design Review, Use Permit, and Parking Reduction - 1820 Park Street - Applicant: Angie Klein for Mehdi Ravan.

Board Member Curtis asked what considerations had gone into the proposed number of parking spaces. Staff Member Dong said that staff mainly considered the policies in the ordinance and the general plan. Since the applicant had joined the TMA (Transportation Management Association) their employees and tenants would be given AC Transit passes. Board Member Curtis questioned where customers would park. Staff Member Dong said that the building is near public transportation and the applicant would provide bike parking as well. Board Member Hom asked if the use permit would allow an office space on the second floor to be converted into another residential unit. Staff Member Dong said due to Measure A requirements there is only enough square footage for one residential unit.
