BACKGROUND:
The current regulations require that all parking spaces for multiple residence building to be covered. Staff believes this requirement is too restrictive and is proposing an amendment.
This amendment is not a reduction of required parking spaces but a reduction in the required "covered" parking spaces. For example, a complex with one hundred (100) units of two (2) bedrooms apartments will require to provide two (2) spaces per unit plus one (1) visitor parking space per every ten (10) units. So in total this complex will require 210 parking spaces. The current regulation requires that all of the parking spaces are covered parking. With the proposed amendment the number required will be 210 parking spaces but only one hundred (100) of those spaces will be required to be covered parking.
In single residence zoning district the current regulations require one (1) carport or garage for one (1) vehicle. We are proposing one (1) covered parking per unit, in order for the residents of multiple residence zoning to have the same opportunity of having one (1) covered parking as the residents of single residence zoning districts.
