Commissioner seeks allowance for golf‑cart parking substitutions; text amendment routed to City Council
Summary
A commissioner described a proposed text amendment to allow applicants to substitute up to five required vehicle parking spaces with golf‑cart spaces. The commission amended prior minutes to show the text amendment will go to the City Council; the draft ordinance text and City Council schedule were not provided.
During the Oct. 13 meeting, commissioners discussed a proposed text amendment that would allow developers to substitute up to five required vehicle parking spaces with golf‑cart parking spaces when a site plan has limited room for additional standard parking.
The proposal was explained by the commissioner who had raised the issue at the prior meeting: the suggested provision would permit an applicant to substitute up to five required vehicle spaces with golf‑cart parking spaces on a tight site rather than be forced to add vehicle spaces or deny the project. Planning staff noted that when the commission agrees to initiate a text amendment, the matter moves to City Council for consideration; the commission voted to amend the Sept. 22 minutes to record that the text amendment would be routed to City Council.
Commissioners did not provide the draft ordinance language in the meeting transcript, and staff said no City Council schedule for the item was available. The commission recorded no vote tally on the routing motion beyond a voice approval.
What’s next: The text amendment transmittal to City Council is recorded in the amended minutes; the ordinance language, staff analysis and Council hearing date remain to be set.
