1) Parking exception to 50% of the requirement is unacceptable since there is already parking shortage in Glendale for the existing residents and for businesses in the vicinity. The hotel should be required to provide the parking necessary for the proposed development.

2) Public parking designed by Hotel Indigo is unacceptable: it is in the back of the building and not accessible to public. If Hotel Indigo intends to "replace" the public parking -then it should design its public parking entrance in a more accessible way - not in the back of its building but in the front: either on Maryland or on California. The same applies to both the subterranean and surface parking lot. Otherwise, the meaning of "public parking" will be lost.
