Councilman Petersen disapproved any consideration for sharing of costs on additional parking expenses because of the fact this was a planned development procedure which.included other plus factors in its development and extra park- ing would fill needs of future tenants in this development. Mrs. Artie Morgan, 34 Center Street, protested Council approving any tax monies to pay for additional parking spaces in this development. Mr. Leps felt point was overlooked that on -street park- ing was provided for two cars between every two drive- ways and felt observation of existing development would prove parking spaces adequate as few cars are in evidence for on -street parking. He again protested costs involved for providing the extra parking spaces being recommended by the Planning Commission as felt developers were being penalized as benefit only would be 50% to their develop- ment. Councilman Petersen moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5637 GRANTING EXCEPTIONS TO CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 30 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY, BEING THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY -LEO DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, as seconded by Councilman Keckley.
