COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM | | | |
| | | | | | | | TO: Land Use and Sustainability Committee
|
| FROM: Alina T. Hudak, City Manager
|
| DATE: June 6, 2022
|
| |
| | | | | | | | | TITLE: | PARKING GARAGE HEIGHTS ON TERMINAL ISLAND |
| |
| | | | | | | | HISTORY:
| | On May 4, 2022, the City Commission referred the subject Ordinance to the Land Use and Sustainability Committee (LUSC) and the Planning Board (C4T). The sponsor of the proposal is Commissioner David Richardson. |
|
| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS:
| Currently, under the provisions of Chapter 130, main use parking structures in the CD-3 district, which are located outside of a local historic district, have a maximum building height of 75 feet. The subject Ordinance would allow for a main use parking structure located within the I-1 zoning district, only on Terminal Island, to also have a maximum height of 75 feet.
The subject proposal has been made on behalf of Fisher Island, to add to an existing parking structure on the east side of Terminal Island. According to the attached traffic analysis, the proposed increase in parking spaces that will result from the increase in allowable height, will not result in an increase in vehicle trips and congestion within Terminal Island. In this regard, the additional parking will be for employees who currently take their vehicles onto the ferry and park on Fisher Island. With an increase in parking spaces on Terminal Island, these same vehicles would park in the garage, as opposed to getting on the ferry.
The Administration is supportive of the proposal, as it should not negatively impact congestion on Terminal Island. Additionally, the design and massing associated with the proposed increase in building height for the garage will be subject to the review and approval of the Design Review Board (DRB).
|
|
| | | | | | | | CONCLUSION:
| | The Administration recommends that the Land Use and Sustainability Committee endorse the subject Ordinance and recommend that the Planning Board transmit the proposal to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation. |
