CLSY TIM �'iq• MEMORANDUM DATE: October 17, 2007 TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: David G. Gould, Planning Officer SUB3ECr: Amending Land Development Code Chapter 165-72R Parking Requirements Council Ordinance 07-321 Please be advised that the Planning Board at its regularly scheduled meeting on October 16, 2007 held a Public Hearing on the above Land Development Code Amendment. Planning Officer Gould provided the Board with a brief history of the parking exemption that has been in place for many decades in the Downtown Development District When the Waterfront Development District was created, as a similar concept of dense development catering to pedestrians, the same off-street exemptions were extended to that district. As the Council is looking at a broader use of the Waterfront District some concern was raised as to whether the City could keep up with the demand for parking if all private development was exempt. The proposed change would link the off—street parking exemption to three criteria; the parking demand of the proposed use, the availability of on -street parking to serve that need, and the availability of public parking (lots or gauges) to serve that need. There were no proponents or opponents to the proposed amendment. Planning Board discussed how the City currently manages downtown parking supply and demand and what opportunities there will be for additional public parking in the waterfront area. The Board voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council to approved the proposed text amendment to 165-72R contained in C.O. 07-321,
