Orthodontic office parking variance — 215-217 East Las Tunas Drive

Description

Dr. Aileen Ngan wants to open an orthodontic office in a vacant 1954 commercial building, but the small lot's six substandard spaces can't meet the dental-use parking requirement (about nine spaces needed). The commission denied the variance 5-0 but told her an off-site parking lease, parking lifts, or a smaller office could bring the project back — possibly as a parking-reduction CUP.

Impact summary

The Planning Commission denied it on Nov 9, 2026.

For now, the corner building stays vacant, though the door isn't closed — the applicant was told how to come back with a compliant parking plan.
