provided beyond the ends of all parking spaces to accommodate the
overhang of automobiles.
Where authorized, compact car spaces shall be clearly designated with
appropriate pavement marking or signage. Compact spaces shall be no less
than 8 feet by 16 feet in size, including allowable overhang.
At any time in the future, should traffic/parking associated with the facility's
peak parking demand activities (i.e., services related to High Holy days) lead
to a significant impact on the area, the Town may require the creation and
implementation of a parking management plan. The parking management
blan may include elements such as organized car pooling and/or the
organization of a shuttle system allowing congregates to park at an alternate
location and shuttle to the facility.
PAGE 10 OF RESOLUTION NO. 2002-27
The parking lot, adjacent to the east property line and north of the worship
building, shall be modified to provide a greater setback from the east
property line. The eastern edge of the this parking lot shall be aligned
approximately with the eastern wall of the worship facility, resulting in the

contamination and mitigation shall be determined by the Contra Costa
County Health Department. Suitable disposal and/or treatment of any
contaminated soil shall meet all federal state and local regulations. If
deemed appropriate by the Health Department, the applicant shall make
provisions for immediate containment of the materials. Runoff from any
contaminated soil shall not be allowed to enter any drainage facility, inlet or
creek.
