Applicant told to seek variance after board flags parking shortfall
Summary
Board members and the applicant discussed a parking gap between town code (two spaces per unit) and ITE guidance; the applicant plans to apply to the ZBA for an area variance before returning for final approval.
Board members highlighted a discrepancy between the town's multifamily parking requirement (two spaces per unit) and the applicant's ITE‑based parking calculations. Alex Amaring told the board the complex currently has about 111 spaces and that the proposal would add 20 spaces for a total of 130; board members noted code would require about 184 spaces for the site's unit count and advised the applicant to request an area variance from the ZBA.
Amaring said the applicant believes the complex is slightly overparked under current use patterns and recommended pursuing ITE guidance in support of a variance. Staff advised the applicant to consolidate variance requests and confirm any additional zoning needs before returning to the planning board.
