| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS
|
BACKGROUND
On March 1, 2017, at the request of Commissioner Joy Malakoff, the City Commission referred the subject ordinance to the Land Use and Development Committee for discussion and recommendation (item C4M).
On March 8, 2017, the Land Use Committee discussed the proposal and recommended that the City Commission refer the Ordinance to the Planning Board. On April 26, 2017, the Mayor and City Commission referred this item to the Planning Board for consideration (item C4J.)
PLANNING ANALYSIS
The proposed draft ordinance would amend Chapter 130 of the Land Development Regulations of the City Code, pertaining to Off-Street Parking. Specifically, the amendment would allow a contributing building located within a local historic district, or individually designated historic site in Parking District No. 1 to provide parking on the site as required parking. Parking District No. 1 is comprises all areas of the City that are not included in parking district nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. This will allow more flexibility for property owners to provide operational parking, on an add needed basis.
Such parking, if provided, would be exempt from FAR, in accordance with the regulations specified in Chapter 114 of the Land Development Regulations. Absent this code amendment, non-required enclosed parking must be included as floor area. Although the proposed ordinance does exempt non-required parking from inclusion as floor area, it does so only to the extent of that which is required for new construction.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
On May 23, 2017, the Planning Board transmitted the proposed Ordinance Amendment to the City Commission, with a favorable recommendation. |
