Plan Commission approves off‑site parking and implementation plans to support downtown housing
Summary
The commission recommended approval of implementation plans for off‑site parking tied to downtown multi‑family projects: a 28‑space lot serving a nearby development (14 & 20 W. 10th Ave) and a 14‑space lot at 15 W. 10th Ave with a reduced buffer yard in one location; staff conditions include stormwater and landscaping compliance.
The Plan Commission on May 19 recommended approval of two specific implementation plans for off‑site parking intended to support nearby multi‑family housing projects.
For properties at 14 and 20 West 10th Avenue, staff described a plan to demolish one existing 2‑flat building, combine lots or file a cross‑access agreement, and construct a 28‑space parking lot accessed from an alley. Staff noted earlier approvals and a neighborhood meeting that generally supported the plan; DPW requirements for stormwater submittal, landscaping and buffer yards will be verified during site‑plan review.
For the 15 West 10th Avenue lot, staff proposed a 14‑space parking area and requested a base standard modification to reduce a required buffer from 10 to 8 feet along one property line to accommodate code‑compliant parking stalls and drive aisles; staff said the applicant exceeded overall landscaping points to offset the request. Staff conditions include verified stormwater compliance and shielded lighting fixtures.
Both motions to recommend approval carried by roll call vote, 7–0. Staff noted final site‑plan review and stormwater management plans must be submitted before construction permits are issued.
