CI,o OF SAN .ERNARD.oo - REQUQT FOR COUNCIL ~ON STAFF REPORT Due to recent proposals before the Council, it has become apparent that there is a need to allow minor deviations from the established parking standards to be granted at a staff level, rather than bring all such situations before the full Mayor and Common Council. The attached Ordinance would allow a ten percent (10%) reduction in the required standards to be granted by the Planning Director when certain findings are made. This decision may be appealed to the Planning Commission and finally to the Mayor and Common Council if necessary. If an excess of such minor exceptions are granted then this area should be reviewed for possible ordinance amendment to the established standards. 75.0264 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 o o o ORDINANCE NO.
