ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager and Director of Community Development with a Request to WITHDRAW the Request to Adopt an ORDINANCE Amending Appendix A, the Unified Development Code, Relating to PARKING IN FORM DISTRICTS. (Council Districts 1, 2, & 3)
Body
BACKGROUND:
Update:
At this point, the request is to approve the withdrawal of the current recommendation.
While staff, in our professional capacity, continues to believe that minimum parking requirements are a hindrance to development, we understand that the parking challenges (particularly in the Warehouse District) may require a more in-depth analysis.
The goal is to bring this item back to the Council in 2021, accompanied by a policy session on specific parking issues.
If the Council agrees to this request to withdraw, staff will continue to require that all parking requirements are met for every development application submitted within a form district.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: NA
NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS (at the Planning & Zoning Commission): NA
IMPACT IF APPROVED: The Unified Development Code will not be amended.
IMPACT IF DENIED: Staff will return to Council with a modified recommendation.
ALTERNATIVES: N/A
EEO CERTIFICATION NUMBER: N/A
