Commissioner Iglesias requested changes to allow staff approval of site plan review. Mayor

had resulted in the LDRs being written so that staff would not have administrative discretion.
There was no consensus to support Commissioner Iglesias's proposal.
There was a majority of consensus in support of the concern expressed by Commissioner
Iglesias regarding parking space width. The proposal will be re-drafted to provide for 8 Y2-
