Committee forwards parking rule change: two spaces per dwelling unit, no extra 0.5 per bedroom
Summary
The committee recommended a parking requirement change that would require two spaces per dwelling unit for multiunit developments in NMU, MR‑15 and MR‑30, removing the 0.5‑space per additional bedroom calculation. Members discussed infill constraints and examples like Alice Place and the Klondike Building; the item will go to the Common Council.
Committee members voted to forward a recommendation that would simplify parking calculations for multiunit developments in NMU, MR‑15 and MR‑30 zoning districts.
Staff explained the Plan Commission removed the additional 0.5 parking space per extra bedroom and set a flat requirement of two spaces per dwelling unit to reduce development barriers on constrained infill lots. "This is changing to remove those additional 0.5 units for additional bedroom units and that it's just every multi basically multi, unit development would just require 2 spaces per dwelling unit," the administrator said.
Committee members questioned whether a one‑space standard for one‑bedroom units had been considered; staff said that path was not pursued. The committee approved the recommendation unanimously and forwarded it to the Common Council.
