parking spaces.

opportunity to change the videotape. The meeting resumed at 9:31
pm with all members present except Councilmember Sanderson.

concept, but was opposed to the density of the project. He
supported the subterranean parking, but felt there were too few
guest parking spaces. ,
Councilmember Hernandez expressed similar parking concerns as
the other Councilmembers and would support the project with the
caveat that there be additional parking spaces.
Mayor Herfert felt that in the last thirteen years on the Council,
this project is the worst housing project this City has ever seen.
Once subterranean parking is granted, it will become the norm
throughout the City and West Covina standards will be leveled to
those of the City of Alhambra.
City Attorney Alvarez-Glasman stated that it appears that the
developer is willing to work with staff on some of these issues.

Council could continue this to another meeting, if they wished to.

matter until the second meeting in June (June 17). Motion carried

informative and Mr. Stem's statements irrelevant. He suggested

the documents that were submitted just today. Then, at that
