SUBJECT: Tentative Tract Map No. 36426, 23 Unit Condominium
Conversion, 843 - 4th Street
Introduction
This report summarizes past activities in connection with
this matter.
Background
Request for conversion of the building was filed December 4,
1978. The proposal was to reduce the building from 32 units
to 23 units. The reason for the reduction is that 12 of the
48 parking spaces were provided by space-a-matic parking
machines in which one automobile is hoisted above the other
by means of an hydraulic mechanism. The Planning Commission
had previously denied conversion of a twin building across the
street on the basis that the space-a-matic parking did not meet
Planning Commission requirements.
The application was denied by the Planning Commission on Feb-
ruary 26, 1979 but approved by the City Council on March 27,
1979 with four conditions including:
1. All soundproofing to comply with building,`codes
and all new walls to be double studded with insulation.
2. Modify units to comply fully with fire regulations
for egress.

3. No tenancy to be terminated prior to January 1,
1980 and all tenants to be paid $500 in moving costs.
4. Mechanical parking machines to be removed if re-
quired by the Building or Planning Department and any
purchaser may have a machine removed within 60 days
after purchase.
The Final Tract Map was filed on July 26, 1979 but not
scheduled for City Council action because the work had not
been completed.
On February 11, 1980 the subdivider requested approval by the
City Council of the Final Tract Map.
On March 4, 1980 the subdivider requested an extension of the
Tentative Tract Map which was denied by the Planning Commission
on March 17, 1980.
