San Marino : Brokerage Rule Extended
The City Council voted unanimously last week to extend current restrictions governing the opening and expansion of real estate and stock brokerage firms.
Because such businesses tend to need more than an average number of parking spaces, offices seeking to open or expand must first receive permission from the Planning Department. That requirement was to end this month, but the council’s action will extend it for a year.
Vice Mayor Eugene Dryden was absent for the 4-0 vote.
Meanwhile, officials will write into the City Code a set of permanent parking allotments for such businesses, Planning and Building Director David Saldana said. The city “has already done so for beauty salons and restaurants,” he added.
