Planning Commission Meeting Minutes October 11, 2018 Page 10 of 17 Rice asked if the applicant had requested a parking deferment because the building use did not require the additional spaces and if the PUD itself planned for those spaces. He wanted to make sure that the City was going to be able to call in the additional spaces if necessary. Ritchie replied that staff was recommending changing the language of the parking note on the PUD to clarify those issues. She confirmed that the PUD planned for additional spaces and the deferral was for construction only, not planning. Zuccaro added that the City was comfortable with its authority, but it may be difficult to enforce in the future based on future owners and other considerations. Rice replied that he wanted to make sure the City had the authority to request additional parking spaces if needed, even though he did not want additional parking spaces if they were unnecessary. He and Commissioner Moline asked if the CTC Owners Association's opinions on the metal were part of the Commission's criteria for examining the application. Zuccaro stated that the Association could make comments on the application like any other member of the public. There was nothing that stated that the Association had more sway than anyone else regarding the City's criteria. Hsu asked how the City would enforce the additional parking requirement. Ritchie stated that enforcement would not take Council action since there was a note on the PUD. They would simply be out of compliance with their PUD. Zuccaro added that it would be similar to if they neglected to rebuild a damaged fence, since it would be on the books with the regulatory note that the City has the right to require additional parking. The City would write a letter to Vaisala and work with the applicant on a date to build additional parking. Hsu asked if the note had any conditions for the City's request to build more parking. Ritchie replied that the note was open-ended. Williams asked if the City could require action from the next owner. Ritchie replied that the note was applied to the land not the owner. Williams asked if there were a different number of deferred spaces that staff would be more comfortable with. Ritchie replied that there was a cushion on the number of spaces. Brauneis asked what would happen if the required parking spaces of the City changed in the future. Ritchie stated that PUD approvals already on the books would likely be the same. 12
