Board agrees to consider raising multi‑dwelling parking minimums; would make 2 spots standard for 3‑bedroom units
Summary
Responding to a Planning Board request, the Town Board discussed increasing parking requirements from the state‑minimum 1.5 spaces per unit to bedroom‑based standards and agreed informally that two parking spots for a three‑bedroom unit would be appropriate, excluding senior housing; Supervisor to consult Planning Board chair.
The Planning Board asked the Town Board to consider increasing the town’s multi‑dwelling parking requirement (currently 1.5 spaces per unit, the state minimum). Board members discussed several options and agreed in principle that a two‑space standard for three‑bedroom units would be reasonable, with an explicit exclusion for senior housing to account for differing parking demand.
The Board did not adopt an immediate code change at the meeting; Supervisor Corcoran said he would speak with the Planning Board chairman to pursue next steps. The discussion was conceptual and the Board asked staff to return with formal language if the Planning Board requests a code amendment.
