Base requirements is 2 parking spaces + 3 for the 3 new total bathrooms being added, which is then reduced to 4 parking spaces because of Urban Roadways Parking Reduction, Section 25-6- 478 (A). The appellant disagrees and argues that these two properties lack the requisite number of parking spaces, based on application of Part 6, Section 7 (J) of the NCCD ordinance in an “SF-3-NCCD-NP”, Single-Family-Neighborhood Conservation Combining District- Neighborhood Plan zoning district. Note: Please reference North University Neighborhood Conservation Combining District, Ordinance No. 040826-58, PART 6 (7) Appellant is referring to (J) and Staff is referring to (K), page 22 of 46.

FINDING: 1. There is a reasonable doubt of difference of interpretation as to the specific intent of the regulations or map in that: City Staff has only required two additional parking spaces in violation on the NCCD, city staff has misapplied the Urban Core parking reduction in granting parking reduction to zoning requirement. 2. An appeal of use provisions could clearly permit a use which is in character with the uses enumerated for the …
