    The 45.3-by-137.5-foot parcel (6,301.6 square feet) held a two-storey brick building, which was proposed for demolition to make a parking lot for 38 compact cars. The City Planning Commission unanimously approved, with six conditions including a two-year limit, a conditional use for a 38-car compact-car parking lot replacing the existing two-storey brick building (Resolution 7110).
