Commission backs simpler parking formula for multi‑unit zones, sends measure to council
Summary
Staff and commissioners recommended and approved forwarding a change that would require two parking spaces per dwelling unit across several multi‑unit zoning districts, replacing a previous 2 + 0.5 incremental formula.
The Planning Commission voted to forward a recommended change to parking requirements in the NMU, MR‑15 and MR‑30 zoning districts that would require two parking spaces per dwelling unit as the standard for multi‑unit developments.
Shannon explained the prior code required two spaces per dwelling unit with an additional 0.5 parking space for extra units; the commission had previously recommended simplifying the standard to a flat two spaces per dwelling unit. A commissioner moved to forward that recommendation and the commission approved the change for submission to the common council and a council public hearing.
Commissioners said the simpler standard would streamline permitting without substantially changing parking supply expectations for typical projects. Staff will draft ordinance language and schedule the item for council consideration.
