|
Recommendation(s): |
That the Council adopt the resolution calling a public hearing on November 4, 2020 for a Land Use Management Ordinance Text Amendment to Section 5.9.2.
Additional Information
The proposed Land Use Management Ordinance text amendments would consider require a minimum of 50 percent of the parking proposed in a Town Center zoning districts as a payment-in-lieu and to provide minimum parking standards in the Town Center zoning districts. Currently properties within the Town Center zoning districts do not have minimum parking standards.
Additionally, a proposed Town Code amendment would be considered to update the relevant sections of the Town Code and include a reference to the fee schedule for the appropriate parking payment-in-lieu amount.
A Council policy to be considered would include an expectation of providing 50 percent of the required parking as a payment-in-lieu for projects receiving Council entitlements in Town Center zoning districts.

A RESOLUTION CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING ON NOVEMBER 4, 2020 TO CONSIDER A LAND USE MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT TO SECTION 5.9.2 PERTAINING TO METHODS OF PROVIDING REQUIRED PARKING AND LOADING (2020-10-07/R-4)
WHEREAS, the Town Council sees a need to encourage the best land uses in new development that occurs downtown; and

WHEREAS, the Land Use Management Ordinance currently does not require minimum parking standards for development occurring within the Town Center zoning districts; and
WHEREAS, the Land Use Management Ordinance Section 5.9.2 offers uses located within Town Center zoning districts the opportunity to achieve compliance with the parking requirements by making a payment to the Town of Chapel Hill Parking Fund in accordance with Chapter 11A of the Code of Ordinances.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Chapel Hill that the Council calls a Public Hearing on November 4, 2020 for further consideration of a Parking Payment-in-Lieu system and LUMO text amendment to develop minimum parking standards in Town Center zoning districts.
