KERN: Well, that's right, and also well a part of its going to be a real estate brokerage company,
<br />right? And, the agents that are in there, you know, most real estate agents don't make much
<br />money staying in the office. Right? So, they're out. They're out a lot more. The requirement is
<br />one stall per 300 square feet.
<br />IKEDA: I understand that, but
<br />KERN: —And, we're over that.
<br />IKEDA: Yes, I understand, but I also understand where you have aI used to rent to an
<br />insurance company, and they had 16 employees. They took all my parking space—
<br />KERN: —And, that makes—
<br />IKEDA: That's what I was trying to get at.
<br />KERN: Well, and that makes a lot of sense. I hear what you're saying there completely. Again,
<br />with at least a third of the building that'd be occupied. Excuse me, insurance agents, they
<br />generally stay in their office a lot more fielding phone calls, you know, going through the whole
<br />process they do. The real estate agents are usually out a lot more doing showings, looking at
<br />places. There's still going to be a certain amount there. It's going to be, you know, right there,
<br />but at the same time, the Code is written to allow for "x" amount of parking per square feet.
<br />We're trying to go over that so, we're trying to follow Code, and do a little better.
<br />IKEDA: Well, and that's, that's what I'm getting also, too, you know, because, if we should
<br />pass this, and you guys don't build, then you can build anything you want on it with the zoning,
<br />and that's what bothers me, too.
<br />KERN: Well, yeah, and, you know, the chances of that actually happening, I think, would be
<br />pretty slim being it's that only right -turn in and right -turn out only. I know it's a Change of
<br />Zone. Anything that would most likely would come in afterwards would require a TIAR, and
<br />that would most likely require a lot of improvements. So, while it does allow for that possibility,
<br />one, that isn't the intent. Two, I wouldn't be sitting here if I thought that was going to be the
<br />intent `cause that's the last thing I would want to my name is to come in and then have the bait
<br />and switch.
<br />You know, so I truly believe my client is going to do that, but I understand what you're saying,
<br />Mr. Ikeda. I sat there and had to ponder that question many a times, right? You know, what is
<br />the proposed use to what can you ultimately do with it. And, that's why we go through this
<br />process of, you know, deliberating and the democratic process of hearing testimony and trying to
<br />get to some type of reasonable, balanced solution.
<br />HENKEL: Anymore questions from Commissioners? Mr. Clarkson.
