ON THE AGENDA

Here are a few of the items the Planning Commission will consider

tonight.

PARKING LOT PERMIT

Shaheen Sadeghi, authorized agent for Harold Cozen, is applying

for a permit to pave a vacant property at 708 and 714 Randolph Ave.

for use as an off-site parking lot for “The Lab.” Sadeghi has been

informally using the gravel-surfaced Randolph Avenue properties for

Lab overflow parking for several years. He now proposes to improve

the lot and to credit these off-site spaces for future uses at the

Lab.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Staff supports the off-site parking lot because it is next to the

site. It will serve and provides pedestrian access without having to

cross a street or another property. But staff members are concerned

with Sadeghi’s proposal to credit this parking toward permanent

improvements at the Lab. Staff recommends approval, subject to

conditions.

CARWASH PERMIT

James Simon, authorized agent for Carl Stevens, is applying for a

permit to establish a hand carwash and detailing business, including

outdoor work, at 1619 Superior Ave.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Staff recommends approval, subject to conditions. Due to the small

size of the property for the type of use proposed, staff members are

recommending as a condition of approval that no queuing of customer

vehicles occur within the public right-of-way. It is also recommended

that the auto detailing portion of the use be by appointment only to

minimize potential on-site circulation problems.

FAIR PARKING PERMIT

Becky Bailey-Findley, authorized agent for Russell

Tieman/Experian, is applying for a permit for off-site parking at the

Experian parking structure for use by Orange County Fairgrounds

patrons during the Orange County Fair, weekends only, with a shuttle

service included. The parking lot is at 475 Anton Blvd.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Approval will allow off-site parking for the fair at times that

will not affect employee or visitor parking for Experian and will

reduce traffic congestion in the vicinity of the fairgrounds,

officials say.
