Staffreport
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
In the City Council's motion to approve the 1388 Bancroft Project on September 21, 2020, the City Council directed the applicant to prepare a parking management program, present the outcome at a community meeting and return to City Council for review. Staff recommends the City Council motion to accept the parking management program, supported by the results and findings identified in the independent parking study prepared by Dixon Resources Unlimited on behalf of the City dated May 3, 2021.

On June 14, 2018, the applicant resubmitted a new project application (PLN18-0046) reflecting a one-year effort to reduce the scale of the Project and address concerns with the prior application. The City Council considered the 45-unit proposal on February 4, 2019 and recommended the Project be revised further to reduce the unit density. The applicant later returned with a revised Project consisting of 42 residential units and 55 on-site parking spaces (1.2 spaces per unit) that was ultimately approved by the City Council on September 21, 2020.
