Re:1041 Mill Street: Architectural Review of a New Oce Building, Including Requested
Exception To Allow Two Unenclosed Parking Spaces Within the Street Yard
From:Allan Cooper, Secretary Save Our Downtown
Date:January 28, 2018
Honorable Chair Wynn & Commissioners -
Your sta report states: ÅTwo unenclosed spaces are proposed in the front (street) yard
setback, which is an exception for the ARCÈs consideration¼Sta recommends approval of the
proposed street yard exception to accommodate onsite parking for the proposed use.Æ We
urge you to deny this street yard exception as this decision is not a discretionary one nor does
this decision lie within your purview. Parking within the street yard located less than 20 feet
from the street right-of-way is a clear violation of SLOÈs Zoning Regulations.
According to B. Yards Section 17.16.010 ÅEnclosed and Unenclosed Parking Spaces in
Street Yard Prohibited. In no case may an enclosed parking space or required parking space
from which vehicles exit directly onto the street be located less than 20 feet from the street
right-of-way or setback line except as provided in 17.16.020E.2 below, or as provided in
17.17.055.D.Æ
This exception will constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the driveway and
parking limitations upon other properties in the vicinity. If you approve this street yard
exception, you will be setting a dangerous precedent. Thank you!
