A 20-year Hayworth resident who called three parking spaces for a whole building 'insane' and described hour-long searches for parking, asking the commission to vote no or require more parking.

Cited a successfully appealed 2011 Norton Avenue case that preserved neighborhood compatibility and parking, urging the commission to review that precedent and strengthen municipal laws against the Housing Accountability Act.
