BoardManzanita Planning Commission Planning Commission Meeting
The Planning Commission meeting focused on a legislative land use variance request for Steeplejack, specifically concerning the proposed removal of two on-site parking spaces to allow for additional seating areas. The applicant argued that the removal was necessary for safety reasons due to congestion at the front entrance, while city staff expressed concern that the proposal did not meet the required variance criteria, noting that the property size exceeds the threshold for parking exemptions and alternative solutions for parking were available. The commission reviewed the staff report, deliberated on the criteria, and heard public testimony regarding the request.
