Overview: A change to the Land Use Management Ordinance to set minimum parking requirements in Town Center zoning districts and offer parking payment-in-lieu options.


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.
