Summary
The planning commission received a parking reform memo dated April 16, acknowledged a prior March 17 presentation to a joint meeting, and approved moving forward with development of a parking manual and a joint meeting with city council to present a proposal.
The Oak Park Planning Commission reviewed a parking reform memorandum dated April 16 and voted to proceed with staff plans to develop a parking manual and present a proposal at a future joint meeting with the city council.
Commissioners and staff noted that the economic development and planning department presented parking reform information at a joint planning commission and city council meeting on March 17, 2025. The full presentation and the reform package were included in the meeting packet distributed to commissioners.
Commissioner comments included thanks to the presenter, identified as Salam in the transcript, for the prior presentation. Commissioners said staff will prepare a manual modeled on examples such as the City of Ferndale and will circulate a proposal in advance of a jointly scheduled meeting with the city council and planning commission. The transcript records that staff will disseminate the proposed manual at the beginning of the next phase and that a joint meeting will be held to review the proposal.
A motion to accept the parking materials and proceed with the manual was moved and seconded; the commission completed a roll call and recorded approval on the record.
The transcript does not include the draft manual text; it records that staff will return with a formal proposal and that dissemination to commissioners will precede the joint meeting.
