| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS
| In order to incentive new residential construction, I would like the LUSC to discuss eliminating the parking requirement for non-transient residential uses in Parking Tier 2.c. This particular parking tier already incentivizes hotel and office uses.
The elimination of minimum off-street parking requirements would not prevent a developer from providing parking. However, by removing the current mandate it could provide a tangible incentive for much needed, non-transient housing. Given the areas access to transit, as well as the likely use of micro-mobility options by the residents, the removal of a parking mandate in this limited area is not expected to create parking issues.
In addition to parking incentives, I would also like to explore incentivizing non-vehicular transit options for new residential developments. This could include, but not be limited to providing mobility fee relief for projects providing tangible micro-mobility options within a new development.
Lastly, as part of this referral, I would ask that the LUSC consider whether any other zoning incentives (including height and/or FAR) may be appropriate to encourage non-transient, residential uses along Washington Ave. |
