Board asks for numerical net summary of parking outcomes from tracking memo
Summary
Planning board members asked staff to quantify how many projects provided the same, fewer, or more parking spaces under the new code versus the prior rules, and requested a net-change figure to evaluate whether the reform is producing fewer parking spaces overall.
During review of the draft tracking sheet, board members requested a clear, quantitative digest of the spreadsheet findings. Chair (S1) and other members said a simple summary—counts of projects that provided the same number of spaces, provided fewer, and net change—would make it easier to tell whether the recent code change is 'working as intended.'
Natalie (presenter, S3) said the tracking document compares prior requirements to what developers actually provided for projects approved or under review from August 2024 through the end of 2025 and that she would add the requested net‑change summary before sending the memo to council. The presenter noted one complication: the '1964 exemption' sometimes requires historical research to determine prior parking requirements, and she flagged those uncertainties in the tracking sheet's notes.
