What was said

What members said, in order

Sure, I'll go next. Um, Yeah, overall I'm in favor of this project. I really appreciate the condition of approval that Commissioner Halbur made, and I'm totally in favor of that with the speakers being readjusted to face toward the campus.Marcus Bode · Vice Chair1:22:54
I guess my only question in terms of lowering the guest parking, I'm not as concerned with the 1-bedroom or the studio. That seems very fair. But decreasing guest parking, in the event that we get all the development that Moraga very much is hoping to get, do we have parking?Alexis Mapel · Chair2:12:12
I too shared this concern about reduction of of the guest parking. It seemed like we were going from being one of the more, uh, requirement to one of the more permissive, but then I recalled that everyone's just getting waivers now anyway.Ben Helber · Commissioner2:13:12
