ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager and Director of Community Development with a Request to Concur with the Recommendation from the Planning & Zoning Commission and Staff to ADOPT an ORDINANCE Amending Appendix A of the Unified Development Code Relating to PARKING IN THE WAREHOUSE FORM DISTRICT. (Council District 1)
Body
BACKGROUND: Currently a 30-foot setback from the designated building line is required for parking lots located in the Warehouse Form District. Staff is proposing to eliminate this requirement to allow greater opportunities for redevelopment in the warehouse district. A street wall would still be required on a parcel without a building.
The Planning & Zoning Commission found that the request met the Findings of Fact and voted 6 to 0 to APPROVE the text amendment.
See the attached Planning & Zoning Commission case packet and meeting minutes for detailed information.
