Resident urges board to revisit downtown parking garage plan
Summary
During public comment a resident urged the board to resurrect a decade‑old city center parking garage proposal by local architect Bill Scherzinger, saying downtown parking demand is increasing and structured parking should be considered in long‑term planning.
A resident asked the Urban Renewal District Agency board to reopen public discussion of a decade‑old proposal for a downtown parking garage, saying growth has increased demand for accessible parking for residents, employees, business owners and visitors.
The commenter said local architect Bill Scherzinger had proposed a structured parking facility tied to mixed‑use development and argued that “without proactive planning, these pressures will only intensify over time.” The speaker pressed the board to include structured parking in future urban development strategy and urged a serious public discussion of the concept.
No formal response or board action on the proposal was recorded in the meeting minutes. The item was raised during public comment; staff and board members did not place the garage plan on the meeting agenda or move to take action during this session.
