III. Public Hearing - Variance, Robert L. Vogler, 1780 Coast Highway (V-l-66)
Dr. Vogler requested a Variance from parking and loading requirements on Lots
29, 3l, 33 & 35, Block 217, Tract No. 10. This is located in a C-l Zone. He
proposes to eonstrUct a 3 unit commercial business at the corner of Bay Boulevard
and Pacific Coast Highway. A waiver of the on-site load1ng zone requirement
together with prOVision for an on-street loading zone on Bay Blvd. would prevent
congestion 1n the narrow alley and provide sufficient area for the required off-
street parking. Waiver of required 6" curb four foot from. the property line to
allow use of parking bumpers would greatly improve traffic flow and parking
accessibility. Mr. Delaney, 318 11th St., favored any arrangement that would
assist in keeping the alley clear to allow access to residential garages. No
protests were received, written or oral. In the general discussion that followed,
it was p01nted out that the requested parking and loading arrangement would be
more beneficial than detr1mental to the neighboring property owners. There is
no parking density problem in t~is particular area due to the navy base being
located directly across Bay Blvd. The traffic pattern on the state highway
presents an extraordinary condit10n in accessibility to this property.
