A. The proposed parking modification and use of the historic structure is necessary or
desirable for the development of the community, is in harmony with the various
elements and objectives of the general plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses or
to uses specifically permitted in the zone,
The parking modification is necessary to ensure the adaptive reuse of the existing single
family dwelling as a medical office will be able to meet their minimum parking
requirement on -site The use of the historic structure as a medical office is necessary and
desirable for the development of the community, as it allows the property to transition to a
use permitted by right in the zoning designation. It is in harmony with the various elements
and objectives of the general plan, which encourage appropriate adaptive reuse projects,
and is not detrimental to existing uses or uses specifically permitted in the zone With the
parking modification, as proposed, the Project will not require a reduction in parking stalls,
will not need to rely on parking located within the public right-of-way or rely on off -site
parking agreements.
B That approving the proposed parking modification and use will significantly improve
the possibility that the structure will be preserved and maintained as a historic
structure,
The approval of the parking modification will significantly improve the possibility that the
structure will be preserved and maintained as a historic structure The property, as part of
the Project as a whole, is requesting historic designation. Additionally, the Project will
allow the conversion of the property to a medical use, complete the rehabilitation to the
existing building, and allow the building, which has been vacant for several years, to be
occupied by a new office tenant.
C That the required parking cannot be provided without the approval of the requested
modification,
The Project's ability to meet the required parking is contingent on the approval of the
historic parking modification, as requested. Due to the limitations of property size and
configuration, as well as the limited available area to construct parking and landscaping
improvements, the more flexible regulations under the modification will allow the property
to comply with requirements and meet their minimum parking requirements
D That all on -site parking lots will function safely,
The on -site parking lot will function safety All parking stalls meet the minimum
requirements for standard and compact parking stalls in the RMC, and the drive aisle will
comply with the 26 foot minimum requirement for 2-way traffic The design has also been
reviewed by the City's Municipal Utilities and Engineering Department and Fire
Department.

structure or the surrounding neighborhood,

surrounding neighborhood, as the Project has been designed in accordance with the
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties and provides
flexibility in parking standards to ensure the integrity may be maintained
