The City Clerk reported the Affidavit of Mailing and Certificate of Publication were on file. Planning Director Gerschler reported that the Planning Commission approved the Planned Unit Development permit with 10 conditions; the applicant is appealing condition no. 2; the appeal is probably redundant because that condition is a Code requirement that cannot be overruled by the approval of a Planned Development permit; redesign would be necessary to meet Code. NORMA PINAL, 1645 E. 16th St. was present and said she is required to have 5 parking spaces; another unit at 4th and 'Q' Ave. is building a bigger unit and is only required to have 4 parking spaces; she is losing some of her open space by the extra parking requirement.

DAVID PINAL, 1645 E. 16th St. was present, and said the problem is screening in the open 2/23/82 34 space; they have 131; with the 10' required and the 5' setback, they are short 2'.
