Please place the above item on the November 16, 2022 City Commission meeting agenda as a referral to the Land Use and Sustainability Committee (“LUSC”).

In recent years, the City Commission has amended the City’s off-street parking regulations to reduce or eliminate parking requirements in certain districts of the City, for certain types of development. I would like the LUSC to review current regulations for parking districts with reduced parking requirements, in order to ensure that adequate parking remains available for the City’s residents, visitors, and businesses.

As part of this discussion, I would like the LUSC to discuss potential amendments to the Land Development Regulations including, without limitation, the following:

1. Modifications to current off-street parking requirements;
2. Crafting a policy, for the redevelopment of properties with existing off-street parking, to encourage or require that any new development replace the current number of off-street parking spaces provided; and
3. Create a framework, including zoning incentives, for private development to create additional parking for public use.

Additionally, I would like for the City Administration to advise LUSC on the need for an updated analysis of current and future parking demands in throughout the various districts in the City and develop a parking masterplan for the future.

A memo from the City Administration on these issues should be provided on the LUSC agenda.
