Councilwoman Gasparini described her participation July 22 on the Council of Cities panel discussion of Countywide shelter programs and advised that Redwood City was the leading community in number of human services provided in the County, with an average of one community service to every 543 residents of the city. Councilwoman Gasparini described the Spring Street Emergency Shelter, Spring Street Transitional Housing, Shelter Network, Day Break of Youth and Family Assistance, Community Living Room, some of the other programs and facilities described in her MEMO that addressed other areas of temporary shelter, and some of the funding issues. Councilwoman Gasparini reported that past and present Councils should be proud of their leadership in this area, but more should be done on a regional basis. Councilwoman Gasparini will meet with Senator Campbell tomorrow to discuss the problems she saw with his bill, SB 1691, which would limit the use of cities and counties own resources to determine the best plan for their community, and would base decisions on use of armories. Councilwoman Gasparini advised she would report back to Council with her findings. MEMO 8/2/94 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. STAFF REPORTS A Appeal of the Zoning Administrator's approval of a Use Permit to allow a drive-up kiosk selling espresso and other specialty coffees at 528 Woodside Road (Continued from 7/18/94) (203-10) REPORT: Planning Director, August 1, 1994 Building Official La Torra presented the staff report and responded to the issues raised by Council at the public hearing on July 18, 1994: According to Title 24, an accessible toilet facility is required for use by employees of the proposed coffee kiosk, and such facilities shall be located either in such building or conveniently in a building adjacent thereto on the same property, which would in this case, be in the adjacent shopping center. Mr. La Torra advised that ADA laws do not require the builder to install a bathroom in the building, but ADA laws do apply to both new and existing toilet facilities. Mr. La Torra stated that the Building Official may grant modifications provided the intent of the code is met; and added that all codes, regulations, laws, and intentions will be enforced in this matter. In response to Council questions, Senior Planner Passanisi advised that the Use Permit references the Building Code which contains the ADA requirements. In response to Council questions, Mr. La Torra advised that the "pre constructed' condition of the kiosk does not exclude it from the same ADA requirements and Building Codes as on-site construction.
