Overview: A change to the Land Use Management Ordinance to set parking requirements in Town Center zoning districts and offer parking payment-in-lieu options.
|
|
Recommendation(s): |
That the Council adopt a resolution calling a Legislative Hearing on February 23, 2022 for a Land Use Management Ordinance Text Amendment to Section 5.9.2.
Additional Information:
• Currently properties within the Town Center zoning districts do not have parking requirements or parking minimums.
• The proposed Land Use Management Ordinance text amendments would require a minimum of 50 percent of the parking proposed in a Town Center zoning district as a payment-in-lieu and provide parking requirements in the Town Center zoning districts.
• The Council could also consider a proposed Town Code amendment to update other 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 to providing 50 percent of the required parking as a payment-in-lieu for projects receiving Council entitlements in Town Center zoning districts.
