Parking study edits consolidate public and commercial counts, remove Metro Square
Summary
Staff revised a parking study to merge previously separated public and commercial parking counts and removed Metro Square after determining it functions as a private lot; the merged total discussed was revised from 170 to 164 spaces.
Staff told the committee that the latest revision to the downtown parking study merged separate "public" and "commercial/plaza" categories because the committee did not want to reserve spaces in the garage specifically for retail tenants. "So we asked them to merge those 2 numbers together so we equaled a 170," staff said, then corrected the figure: "So it's actually not a 170. It's a 164."
Staff also said Metro Square was removed from the study because it operates as a private lot and should not count toward the public supply. Members agreed the merged counts would be clearer for public outreach and for calculating turnover.
