This setback area will be landscaped. SIGNING: .

Five spaces and one loading space are located inside the nursery area south of the alley. There are 11 parking spaces located north of the alley and 8 spaces proposed on the south side of the alley. The proposed 90-degree parking spaces require a 24-foot 9-inch back-up area; the alley is being used as the hack-up orca and is only 20 feet wide. In order to comply with the required back-up area, the existing 5-foot chain link fence located at the rear of the nursery would have to be relocated 5 feet to the south. There is an area north of the alley behind 159 E. Live Oak (not shown on plan) which could accommodate approximately 9 parking spaces. The only access to the parking area is from the existing alley. The landscape buffer behind 159 and 145 E. Live Oak should be cleaned of all weeds and debris. Presently wood flats, concrete and miscellaneous material is being stored in this planting buffer.

Live Oak, although under separate owner- ship, should be included as part of this conditional use permit in order to make it a conforming use. Staff would recommend that all conditions of approval apply to , both 145 and 159 E. Live Oak. All parking should comply with Code. Compliance can be obtained by relocating the chain link fence 5 feet to the south or by utilizing the property at 159 E. Live Oak. .
