Commission to revisit multifamily parking standards after concerns about South Main development
Summary
Commissioners expressed concern about parking at recent South Main multifamily projects and asked staff to add a discussion of multifamily parking standards to the December agenda; staff said the previously approved Pearl development complied with current ordinance but that any policy changes would affect future developments.
Commissioners raised continuing concerns about parking at recent multifamily developments along South Main and specifically referenced the Pearl project, saying they wanted wording to prevent similar parking shortfalls in future developments. Staff noted they had provided a parking memo and that the Pearl development was approved under the existing ordinance and therefore could not be retroactively affected.
Staff offered to place multifamily parking standards on the December Planning Commission agenda for full discussion; commissioners accepted that approach. Planning staff said any policy changes adopted by the commission would apply to future developments and would not alter the approved Pearl project.
The commission did not vote on a change in standards at the Nov. 21 meeting; staff will add the issue to the December agenda for discussion and possible action.
