Associate Planner John Richards stated that at the public hear- ing held by the Planning Commission~ a gentleman pointed out the parking problem in the area; and that the Planning Commis- sion added as a condition of approval that 572 additional parking spaces be provided at this time, to achieve ultimate parking. Mr. Hugh Foreman, 2530 North Grand, speaking for the appellant, stated that the Church is already providing more spaces than are required by the Municipal Code, and that the addition of 372 spaces is unreasonable and a financial burden for the Church at this time; that they will provide the additional spaces when they add a sanctuary; and that they will be will- ing to grass the area they have purchased recently to accom- modate overflow parking. Mr. Jay Maddox, 3702 Marine, stated that he lives north of the Church in a development of 99 four-plex units with 596 families; that persons attending the Church park on these residential streets because it is closer than off-street parking; that this parking problem has existed for three years, and the area has become so congested with parked cars four or five nights out of the week that residents cannot have guests or find on- street parking for their own cars and pedestrian crossing is unsafe; and that he hoped that Calvary Chapel would advise its congregation not to park in the residential neighborhood.
